Is there like any size chart or guide for the V3s? Are they true to size? I couldn't find anything regarding the size and I wanna make sure I order the correct one.

You know, thinking about it... If David has seen this, the final v3.1 pl Mags may have came out different. Just like how he was using one size label before I sent him the other ones. If he had been sent this while they were still working on them, they may have been more accurate to the official ones
Well the screen used 2015 jacket has a lot of information on it. The denim jacket and vest have zero other than what fans have taken from pictures. We have more information on Doc's rifle from part 3 than we do for the 1985 costume.
Question ?
Where i can buy this ==> "A pair of v3's with broken lights for 200$"
I search on site web "sneakerahead.ru" but i don't find
a Idea ?

Are they true to size for all sizes. US10s seem to be correct.
If you sent him the labels and he took action on those, them maybe it worth sending him this anyway. Who knows what improvements can be implemented later on.
Sorry, nothing to add here. I not as much of fan of that outfit as I am of the 2015 outfit.

The broken light pairs are limited. They had select sizes and limited numbers. You will just have to keep checking up with them or bite the bullet and the pair with lights.

So in the film, the strap of the MAGs was pulled tight by a stage hand. It is supposed to wind up on a spool inside the buckle (according to the Nike patent), but that DOES NOT really work, due to how large the wrapped spool (with the strap) gets.
So a while back I suggested a track system to allow the strap to slide in, under itself. It could even be held in place with magnets and those magnets could be used to replace the switch that turns on the lights.
Today I had a play with some plastic and came up with this.
Template
Using the same technique as when I did my first MAG pattern, I was able to use the complex 3D shape of the V3 buckle as the master, tape it up, peel off the tape and lay it out flat to form this 2D shape.
Buckle concept.
This is made from 2 layers of 3mm and ideally it needs to be made from up to 4 layers to get the right shape as a final part.
Strap logo added for point of reference.
Closed.

The strap can come out if need be, but there seemed to be enough room in this loop to slide my food in and out. The strap did pop out a few times during testing.
The buckle is made from Perspex that thermoformed and layered. Next time, I think it will be better to layer up all the parts first, then heat and bend.
The strap in this example is HIPS and it seems the superglue I used to attach the strap logo in attacked the plastic as it snapped and you can probably see that in the 2nd image. To do this a proper version would need a better type of flexible plastic and I think polyprop would be ideal. Have it laser cut to have the logo slot and magnet holes done.
Anyway, this is just a concept idea but one that could be workable with more time.

cavx this strap looks awesome. I wonder if you would overcome your problem of the logo coming undone by wrapping the whole strap in laminating plastic and sealing everything in place. This would also help seal the electronics that wound eventually live inside/underneath the Nike logo.

Thanks. The goal here is to keep everything as close to the same size as the factory parts, but have a whole new level of cool to them.
The logo is least of my worries. It was only put on there to give a point of reference when the strap was open or closed. I could have used a dot from a Sharpie.
When the straps are done properly, they will laser cut and the polygon shape will be cut out allowing the new Glow Kit I am making to fit right in.

Exactly. It just feeds into a slot. When I drew this up in CAD, it seem like all that is needed is one magnet on the strap and two in the buckle, one on each side - open mode and closed mode. Done.

You scored. That is just over half of the amount most of us had to pay. ,
I do have a box but I thinks it is slightly over rated.
At least you have a charger. I bought 2 pair and still don't have one. I had to source the plugs to USB leads.

Heh, don't suppose anyone on here has a box they'd be willing to send off? Lol highly doubt it. I had a pair before, for which I paid full price. But I sold them to buy my little bro a nintendo switch. I'm going to a convention in a little bit so I needed a pair and fast for my costume
