it's just not true
the 09s leather wasn't super cold or anything but atleast it's not shiny, the foam even feels cheap

Im not the best judge of quality of materials but im pretty sure just cause it's shinier that isnt a 100% indicator of it being worse, like im pretty sure thats not how you judge leather quality but hey to each his own
Edit: Im pretty pleased with my pair all im saying is check em out in person if you feel the materials are crap or it just looks horrible dont cop, if the sole collector orlandos are releasing ima double up on these "fauxlantics" and ima use the pair i got to ball in and my other pair to rock to go out, i kinda feeling this max air heel zoom combo more than I thought i would

I own all four pairs of Atlantic Blues from the OGs to the 2016 release and they do fit true to size if you're balling in them you might want to go a half size up so the toe box can give your toes comfort when stopping or landing

There's nothing about those 2009 joints worth hooplah-ing about. The leather was trash. The outsole was trash. The blue was a little off. The only good thing about them compared to the 2015s is the Swoosh placement.
Like what you like tho....

Everyone complaining but I was very satisfied with the quality it's a great shoes to ball in too! Glad I'm able and blessed to own all 4 pairs from the OGs to the new ones! Different strokes for different folks

Just got a pair of the new Atlantic's in, The Penny 2 was the first basketball shoe I fell in love with way back in middle school, brings back memories.
Now, hoping Nike does right by bringing back the Orlando joints

how is the forefoot zoom feel on the latest release?

In no way were they better outside of the Nike swoosh on the side. That's literally the only thing.
The fact that the sole is translucent is irrelevant seeing as how it's almost black.

left empty handed
in sticking with my thoughts, it's all good

I actually like the new retros, but damn did they OD on the nipples everywhere

It feels awesome just a littl better playing in them but the 2009 retro feels better worn as a casual sneaker

Got these in late December.
My favorite all time Nike Basketball model and they did a really solid job on these.

But wasn't the 2009 outsole and Atlantic blue much closer to the OGs than this current 2015 pair? This 2015 pair they didn't even attempt to make it close to the OGs..

Good price for first pair - copped and repped. Will now look to double up if/when these hit further discount.

Now this sounds better.
Hopefully that means black/blue pair in February
These black and blue ones?
I don't like the iced bottom.
If I see the Atlantic's on discount, I might bite. So so clean

I've learned a lesson from you all. Wait til discount before copping lol. So that's exactly what I'm going to do with the Miami pair. Give it a month or two before they go on discount?
