Yep, found it. So the question is, how much smaller is this than the medium?

You have to remember that when he did these for the V2s, US8 was the smallest.

apparently the power lace v3 being demonstrated. Seems to be faster than Nike's.
Looks great. I wonder if they are using seperate batteries for the lacing component.
Doesn't look like there is a sensor in the heel, just done via button it seems.
looks like the on off button is now on the opposite side,and two buttons on the other to fasten and loosten.

My thoughts EXACTLY. Even with the 2016 pairs. Eventually the electronics will fail or the battery will die. It's inevitable.

If they did, I think they would have shown that in their video as a selling point. Is it me, but all shoes shown appear to the same one? There is a nasty big wrinkle in the cloth just in front of the laces.
Are these really $1500? They look sweet and for a display pair, they would rock, but yeah major bummer if they fail.
If you are careful you can scrape off the green PCB material to get access to the traces underneath...where you can solder to. You can partially see the traces if you shine a flashlight under the board. They run under the green coating...you scrape it off you can get access to new solder points.
I do have boards, $40 a pair. Low voltage protection has been improved (wont kill your battery, they will work at a lower voltage) and LEDs blink when charging. I haven't been super active on here recently, been busy...but I still have parts for sale.
So are these replacement boards to completely replace the original ones? Could you explain how these tie in? Thanks!
Yes, you can cut the buckle open and replace the original board. You do need to solder if you want to swap it properly. Un-solder the old board leaving the wiring in place, and just replace the old board and wires in the same place. I personally think the buckle is one of the easier locations in the shoe to open. These boards in the photo below are the replacement boards I had made...they don't have encapsulation epoxy either. I haven't been "pushing" parts on here as I am putting together a really good reliable upgrade kit for these shoes.

So I guess the first mod to the V3PLs will be to add a pressure button in the heels? lol

If I get a pair I will keep them normal clear. And that mod has already been done so it's not as exciting as installing a pressure switch to make the laces work. lolNo. Paint the soles with RIT dye to look like the 2016 PL MAG

For $1500, are you really going to pull them apart of you don't have to?
Have we gotten official confirmation that they will be $1500?

Nothing set in stone yet. Just running with what has been put up on IG.
If the passive laced version started out at $630, I can't see this active version being less than $1000.

Considering we all know the mags lights will eventually fail, possibly the new autolace version should come with a manual mini crank to tighten the laces as a fail safe considering they won't be exactly wearable if the laces don't open or close...something to think about, I've had over 6 pairs of mags over the past one year, both v2s & v3s, mostly v3s, all that I wore failed after about a month or two of casual wear. Bottom line these aren't really built to be durable enough for wear even if you have a "wear pair". They're better off for display.
