2 pair here
Myself and @NickyMabbs went to the BFI IMAX in London a few days ago to take a look at a pair of the original Mags that are going up for auction in a few days. We wasn't aware, but BFI were running an event on that day, so we couldn't access the prop display, but luckily, the security guard let us in to take a quick look at the Mags and grab a few pics. It's fair to say, the shoes have seen better days and they have had some (what looks to be pretty horrible) restoration work on them. It was still nice to see such an iconic shoe/movie prop in person though.

Hi all! Been a while. I see the thread is still going strong!
I'm toying with the idea of getting some v3.1s. Are we in agreement that the sole EL wasn't upgraded and still breaks, but the bubble LEDs are much better? Do they hold up well with daily use? I seem to remember reading that you can add some hot glue or similar behind the panel to stop it shorting from the wire coming loose.
I also saw reference to a $399 price, but looks like $500 on the website..?
these are the pair thats not been looked after well, although its probably the foam itself on the outsole has detoriated due to age.
There is another pair in america thats immaculate in comparison. That other pair looks almost pristine aside from a few cracks in the sole.
I saw a picture of the right shoe before and also was wondering why it had chunks out of it. Perhaps the type of rubber used for the soles?
No idea:lolI was just making a guess.If the rubber really did break down, why only one side?
I will take that as a compliment.They look like @cavx 's V2's LOL
Contact StreetVeteran or AirMagMan2017 here or on Instagram he is from Toronto and get some parts for the shoe ;-)Does anyone on this thread live in Mississauga Ontario or Toronto or just the GTA in general? I want to know if anyone can help me replace the battery on my mags? Please let me know. Thank You
My guess is that it is the prop that was attached to the Hoverboard with a screw ?Yeah wow. They look tired. Wonder why there are big chunks missing from the right shoe's sole?

Just a little addition to @shoxxo 's post. Managed to get a few more photos today, they are horrendous! EL & LEDs have been replaced just so they can function, looks like both of the soles & heel-cups have been rebuilt & then totally repainted VERY poorly. The pattern looks as though they've been dotted with a brush & no longer have a splatter. I seem to remember Tiffany Beers talking about how they very accurately tried to replicate the movie splatter on the 2011s. There's glue everywhere, whether that was there before who knows???
I can't help thinking that as someone has boldly tried to restore them, they've blown away any history that goes with them. Any chance of pinpointing frames that they were in using distinguishing marks has been obliterated. I'm sure they were in a terrible state before this work & will still fetch a pretty penny now they've been rebuilt, but I'd rather have them in pieces than this condition. Looks like Stevie Wonder & Ray Charles were the restoration team...
