I, the shoe maker here (and Gary!) stand corrected then. If you can dye the yellow rubber clear then hats off. Care to share the dye then?

They can be "dyed" if they where at one point clear

That's exactly the point that's been brought up earlier in this thread. If they were clear before, sure, it could be brought back. But it seems that Markpoon's shoemaker went by reference pics of screen-used MAGs, where the rubber yellowed, and they made their new replicas with the yellowed soles to begin with. So there is no "clear" to be brought back.

I want to say Mark's at one point where clear, I remember seeing a pair that was clear back when he first started selling them, matter a fact if you look at his ebay pictures they are far less yellow them the shoes I posted and honestly even yellow can be MADE BLUE, IT WILL JUST BE A DIFFERENT TINT

Lol! will do Sir, I'm actually going to make a video showing how, it take a fee steps

Cool! Look forward to it :)

Any ideas if you can dye a shiny lycra/spandex to be a matte/dull colour? I really can't be arsed recovering the shoes (reason to be soon explained..) so it would be great to simply get rid of the shine. I have tried white vinegar and rubbing hard, it doesn't seem to change. I was considering a fabric pen, any thoughts...?

They have this "dull coat" that is used for rubber paint that works decent, but honestly not enough......you can't really dull out that type of fabric without damaging it

Brad, mind posting a link to the specific inverter you used for the A5 curable sheet you recommended? The ones of their website all look a bit too big to fit in the sole..?

I did a test on the strap. I concealed the wire by poking a hole in the back of the heal and threaded the wire through there. I definitley need to get some wiretape to use inside the strap (so you can't see the wire). I also realized that I made the NIKE cutout wrong as I didn't slant the sides when I cut. DOH!

I am waiting on the person making the upper white part. Hopefully I will have some updates on that soon.

Also I hope to have the Green, Yellow and Red lights wired this next week.

You can see that I am still using this "test" shoe. What do you think of the NIKE SWOOSH? Too long, or just right?

Awesome. What I would personally do if you're not going to do a new heel cap, is reglue it a little higher and make the Nike tick run up a bit more also. Looking forward to the led section update to see how you do an opaque rubber cover.

Nice!!! GREAT looking the best!! But just a few minor details i wanna point out that only happens ard the strap area..

1 - the wire in the strap wud be nicer if you run the wires from the inside so its not visible from the outside.

2 - you cut out a box for the 'NIKE' logo but instead its suppose to be at an angle like the 'NIKE' font.

3 - i have brought this up b4, but I guess one of your EL Strip for the 'NIKE' logo needs to change the direction of the connectors, as the removable strap would be from the inside and you don't wanna have to run wires where the strap is.

Keep it up bro..

PS - pls reply to my PM

Dude! You gotta read what Brad writes, not just look at the pictures. He addressed all that stuff in the very same post.

LOL i was addressing for his other pair.. Doh.. (kidding)

anyhoo.. your swoosh is perfectly sized except for the tail.. it needs to be thicker and the cut-off towards the end into the heel.. i guess thats all to it.. other than the yellow clear sole..
 
Re: NIKE, you can go to hell. I'm making my own NIKE MAG's *EL SOLES* 11-16 Pg. 1

Yeah the soles are going to stay yellow, unless someone can make clear soles.

Would anyone want to buy just a single completed shoe for display?

I could make you a bet right now, that all eyes on this thread are desperately hoping that your next post is "Right, they're complete and best of all...they're fully wearable!" :cool

That aside, sure, when one is done I'd probably buy one from you. Any ideas on how much and when they will be done? Of course, I would highly suggest supplying without the logos for obvious reasons :angel
