i would gladly pay top dollar for a reasonably accurate replica, but as the way these v2 knockoffs stand, I have a limit to how much I can pay for them.
Its the fact that the factory didn't bother to properly make them, simply reusing the v1 knockoffs parts, and doing few modifications. The shoe still has the Mark Poon look to it, which is not accurate enough for me personally, as i get a bit picky when it comes to these shoes!
thats why im getting 10 pairs in January when i get back from holiday as im getting them for a cheaper price than what many websites are charging. I figure since they will need extensive modifying, and I plan to do varying degrees of mods, bulk buy is best on these particular ones.
im looking at it objectively. Just because its a nike mag knockoff does not give those knockoff sellers the right to be ridiculous with the pricing, given that i know the shoes cost less to make than most knockoff shoes (other more complex ones), and that they are trading on peoples emotions and knee jerk reactions.
I give you an example. if you look at a Nike Kobe or Lebron shoe, they use several different rubber molds and shapes for the soles, which include air bubbles and other patterned features, and the fabrics are far more complex to design and finish, yet those shoes only cost $50 to $60. Those shoes are far more time consuming to make, yet they cost far less.
These mags are in fact 100% costing less to manufacture due to their simplicity. The soles are very simple, as is the shape of the shoe. The only complex feature in these v2 knockoffs is the wiring, and even then, its dirt cheap due to the cheap LEDs used throughout the shoe.
The chinese are very clever when making a profit, and work in unison because they know westerners cannot contain themselves when they something that has been requested a lot.
I have to stick to my limits personally!
but i understand if other people have to spend more money on them, as they are only getting 1 pair.
Since im getting multiple pairs, i have to stick to my limits!
