No I was not aware of that and now I have to wonder who exactly I was in communication with.

Sorry. I’m just coming back to the thread. Lol I have the V3 from David when he first released them. What’s the different in the V3.1 Version? Should I upgrade my pair? Are the autoclave version worth buying? Thanks

The v3.1 has better LEDs and longer battery life. That's it. Don't buy the autolacing, they WILL break. I'm in the process of fixing mine

Thanks for your reply! So the V3.1 is just better lights and battery life. Do you know how long they would last? It is possible to just change the LED and battery on shoes? I haven’t had any issues yet with my current pair,fingers crossed. But I do charge them so In a while.

It is possible, just difficult. The longer battery life isn't because of a new battery though, it's due to the LED's being dimmer and using less power

I would suggest same battery, just dimmed LEDs. I seriously doubt that they fixed any of the issues most of us have experienced with the V3.

Sorry, looks like I deleted mine.
Step 1: Draw a line about 1/2" away from the stitching.
Step 2: Tuck and feed the tongue through the laces to keep this out of your way.
Step 3: USE A SCALPEL!
Step 4: Make your FIRST incision on the side opposite the SWOOSH. I made mine a U shape about 3" long on the 'legs".
I am about to head out to work or I would take photos of my wear pair for you. Can do that later today.

This would look nice on the dimmed LEDs.

Here you go.
Undo the strap and work the tongue between laces 2 and 3. This will keep it out of the way.
Remove the sock liner. Mine is an after market product with a nice big arch and a gel heel pad.
Even though I drew the line with a pen in the shape of a U, it appears I only cut on mainly on the medial (inner) side.
The battery lives under the black rubber thing. I have removed the Battery and filled the cavity with EVA foam.
I found it best to use long nosed pliers to hold the plug on the shoe end and pull the other side of the plug with my fingers. The first time is the hardest and scariest.
Good luck.

Who has been watching Tiffany Beers YouTube Chanel?
What I am liking about her channel is she worked at NIKE and actually knows the tech.

Normally when you monetize your channel you have to include a sponsor link or blatantly talk about that product. She does not have that as part of her channel...so far anyway.
She was trained about plastics as a part of the job she held at Nike for 13 years. She also calls parts of the shoes by their proper name. Example since the V1, we have called the molded part on the back of the MAGs a heel cup where it is actually a heel counter (as in counter weight).
Her reviews between different shoes is fair.
I liked that she included traction as part of the review.
I have DM'd her on Instagram a few times now to ask a question and she gives a direct and honest answer.
I actually asked if the MAG pattern has a name. She replied with a not really but it is known as a 2 part pattern with a medial seam.
