Pics of the reworked ankle bubble. I am still testing out ways to diffuse the LED light. You can see that I sprayed a light coat of clear coat on the inside of the bubble. It works OK but I will test other methods.

Once again, you have surpassed yourself. Make these wearable and you'll see all the thread watchers come out from hiding!

I still have a person trying to make the upper white part but I got inspired to try it myself. This was my first attempt. I will try some more and play around with different foam interiors.

This test is just about 1/16 too short:

Brad, if at all possible, this keeps getting better and better :lol :thumbsup

I read it here somewhere, but have you (and can you at this point ?) considered soaking the side yellowish parts in bleach to whiten them a bit ?

I haven't tried to lighten the rubber part and I am not sure that I can. The problem is that the rubber is cast in the YELLOW color and not aged yellow that is caused by oxidation. I may try to experiment with the old ankle bubbles that are yellow and see if they change color in bleach.

Thanks Alan.

Already discussed plenty of times Alan. Unfortunately, you can't turn rubber clear when it wasn't clear to begin with, it's impossible. It will have to be created like Nike did as a clear rubber. I think it looks cool/retro yellow anyway.

p.s. looks neat the top part :thumbsup I've just updated mine and I have all the electronics today so let the fun begin.

Well, I finished the mold cast for the "white part"
I made the first copy in white silicon elastomer, a kind of urethane rubber(shoreA30). But I think guys.... that the original piece in the 2011 nike mag is more rigid, I try for the next copy a white Semirigid poliurethane compound(Smothcast 300 or 65D) is better and more stable for the back holes of the button cell batteries(varta 6V 20Mah)see atached pdf:
http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0d16/0900766b80d165db.pdf
They are perfect...6 Volts(3+3)20Mah or 50 Mah lithium cell batteries and minimun measures¡¡

For the transparent rubber, I found a rubber compound that is perfect for the soles, in things like abbrassion and flexibility,and have a UV filter for avoiding yellownish.the seller says me"water white clear urethane liquid rubber compounds designed for applications that require absolute clarity and resistance to sunlight. Low viscosity ensures easy mixing and pouring" and sells in Shore hardness A50 and A95.perfect¡¡

Theres the photos of the mold casting and my first copy of the white part.

Guys... the path for obtain a "nike mags sole"... its a exactly sculpt of the soles.....I choose 3Dprinting beacuse is more rapid and EXACT and I can modify shapes quickly, but yours can made by hand(sculpting in clay or Sculpey)forget the chinese copys¡¡......thats the key¡¡..see jedyfyfe¡¡hes try a LOTS of cuts and garments proofs to take the perfect shape¡¡¡¡¡¡beacuse he dont see a good shape for the chinese copys.

The compounds for make a EVA Rubber or some simmilar, its easy to obtain and manipulate.Ask me if you have any technical question about it.


Jedyfyfe, send me a email if you need a upper white part,probably I have that pieces in a few weeks... because im waiting a Semirigid compound¡¡¡¡,lets collaborate ALL,its a community¡¡¡.

What's the best glue to stick the sole and led sections back down after putting the el tape underneath then? I've heard of shoe goo, maybe the way to go..? :confused

Re: NIKE, you can go to hell. I'm making my own NIKE MAG's *WHITE PART TEST* 12-6 P

Hot glue

Hot glue

So is hot glue better than the glue dot roller then? :lol

I have some shoe goo that i'll give a shot with first before spending more money, worth a try, it's meant to be great for rubber and still flex.

Hey Luke,
Mike is correct, hot glue is the best to use.

I know this is completely off topic, and I'm not trying to derail the thread, but this stumbled into my path today and it reminded me of Brad's project.

Lamborghini Countach?!?! Damnit I'm making my own!!!

This is just crazy.

Ok, carry on. Everything's looking great with the shoes.

LOL! I remember seeing that a while back. Didn't the guy end up having to cut the side of his house open to get it out?

I messed around and made another strap tonight. I have ordered some wire tape, so when that arrives I will remake the strap. This trap looks like crap! BUT, I am getting closer!!! Oh and the swoosh is just temporary. It's not glued on at all.
