Official V3 Nike MAG Replica Thread - V3 Discussion Thread

[stevel48]

Many thanks to josuecebs for the info on owfactory. Net. Not .ru by the way. I ordered mags 2 days ago and they ship out today. Qc videos and photos looked great.

So what's the latest on better v4s with auto lacing? I can only finfld them for $1400 and that's insane

 

[stevel48]

I just received a v3.1 where whe charging the lights blink. Is this a new v3.2?

I haven't heard the name v3.2 being used but there are batches of this shoe out there which feature this blinking charging indicator. It requires a different motherboard in the shoe

I can confirm that these are a new v3.2 model being produced by the factories. The motherboard is programed to have the lights blink as a charging indicator, and the charging port has been swapped and rewired to a bigger and stronger one

What’s a good source these days to purchase from?

I cleared the bubble and dyed the soles. The dye is a 50/50 mix of sea glow and rit liquid sapphire blue dye painted on and left for just 4 minutes. Lots of prep time goes into taping and protecting the shoes from the dye. Then they get wiped off with a wet paper towel.

Such a difference. Subtle but really steps up the appearance.

Wow!!! Amazing display option... I’ve been looking for a case like this, hoping I can fit it on too of my swan-flight case. Glad things worked out for you!!

I’m going to try reaching out to owfactory again to see if they have the 3.2s with blinking charging light and improved port in size 13! Wish me luck!

Also, what clear nail polish did you use?

Actually i used a rattle can aerosol automotive clear coat. Better coverage and no streaks.

I think it makes the el panels and soles pop more when lit.

I can confirm from my inside source that a v4.1 is currently in production. 3 buttons for lights, tightening the laces, and loosening the laces, stronger charging port, and a heel sensor for autolacing

I hope they can also improve the other cosmetic differences I’ve seen on the v4s that make them less accurate than v3s. Specifically the visible bump after the top and sometimes bottom lace bumps caused by auto lacing electronics.

 

[Jedifyfe]

They need to fix the fact that these unlace ALL the way and then have to be relaced. It would take a small 1 cent plastic piece on the end of each lace inside the motor. If they don't do that, all these improvements mean nothing.

 

[stevel48]

I just did another pair with a 2.5 min dye time and they seem spot on compared to the nikes.

 

[AjiPro]

I've seen an upgrade for the v3's being done to convert them into autolacing. Taking real hyperadapts and putting the motors and sensors in the Mag. Replaces the Mag laces with the white hyperadapt laces as well

 

[stprime]

How much does that cost in comparison to the V4?

If AjiPro is talking about the same person I saw performing this upgrade it will supposedly be in the $600+ range to upgrade the v3s to have the Hyperadapt tech merged in for true auto-lacing that laces with heel pressure (instead of only by pressing the buttons to tighten the laces).

My only concern with that project and what I’ve seen of it is this: does he have enough spare Hyperadapts with white laces to fulfill all the possible upgrade orders he might start getting if others want it as well? I mean, considering the upgrade price tag (on top of a $400+ replica), and the risk involved with shipping to him with no guarantee, I doubt there will be huge demand for this upgrade (outside of this forum), but still a concern for me.

I’m stoked for this upgrade even at the current price tag IF he can achieve consistent results and guarantee white laces. This would probably be the closest we will get to a semi-affordable fully functional replica of the 2016 Mags.

Just my two cents.... but either way exciting to see this project unfold and so far the results looks very promising!
