That can fluxuate on how often you wear them. The elastic WILL stretch over time but not too bad.

I doubt you wore all of the pairs of shoes that you are selling to the point that the lace area gets that stretched out.

Those were 100% accurate measurements, as they were done for someone who was interested in buying them so I went out of my way to be as specific as possible.
I possibly did have a pair that was labelled incorrectly as I did think they were larger than they should've been for an 8, also my pair came with the older box that said 'Yeezy 2' rather than 'Mag' so who knows?
Not at all but even my size 11's that are big on me have stretched a little. I can only imagine that the tighter the fit, the more stretch that will happen.

I wore mine around for a bit today. Holy crap man. At one point I literally had 10 people following me :O. Definitely going to wear these sparingly xD

Noticed today the "MAG" lettering on the back is very faded and missing paint in a lot of places. Probably gonna go out tomorrow and pick up some paint to mix and get them re-painted. Do you think any paint would work? Any recommendations?
Enamel paint.

Thanks! I'll go check it out ASAP. Should I sand off the remaining paint?

Sooo I know we've all been angry and lost hope with shoesbagonsale/online/now repkicks.com. I ordered my v2's in October. Yes October. They give me the same runaround that all of you have heard. I demanded a refund, they claimed they refunded me when they hadn't. I had pretty much given up at that point. Last week I decided to chat with Michelle on repkicks telling her the whole story. She seemed to understand I guess. I demanded either a refund or for her to send me the shoes. Keep in mind I paid 129 for them and the site is now asking 239. She told me if I sent her a western union payment of $60 I could have them. As pissed as I was that I couldn't have them with my original payment, and don't trust western union, I still did it. I live in California and my shoe just cleared customs in San Francisco. Holy crap. Childhood dream is about to come true.
This is my success story

Yeah! This is what I'm talking about with the "exotic" status. :thumbsup
Mine were the same way. I think the grey foam in the box really rubs on that part. I haven't tried to fix it yet, but it's probably best to sand/scrape off the remaining paint before repainting, that way there won't be a peeled edge from what's left of the original, and it will ensure an even color. You might try acrylic paint also, as it's a little rubbery.
Acrylic would eventually crack and flake off.
:thumbsup Thanks for sharing this, I just dropped them a message that I would accept only 1 of the 2 pairs I ordered instead of waiting for my refund for another 4 months, let`s see how they`ll respond to that.

I thought the same thing, but when I wore them out today in the sun, they looked stunning. Definitely just darker because all the pictures were either shot in low light or the dark.
OK cool. Thanks!
Yep. The color seems to change with the lighting.

Dodgy because at first the images would not load, then when they did, I noticed they were of both the V2 and RD. 129 is what they should cost though IMO.

Hope, Tinker has officially said on multiple occasions that they won't do a public release to 'preserve the value of what people paid'.
There will be a hyperdunk type of 'MAG' with power laces that will cost a fortune, and a VERY limited amount of real MAGs with power laces to generate even more funds for Parkinsons.
Either accept the V2s with mods or hope for V3s.
