Said it before, i'll say it again. Nike dropped the ball here. Atlantics should've dropped instead of the All Stars.
Someone said something about bringing back the Penny 1's...those are still at outlets till this day. How bout some Air Flight 1s or some Air Up's if anything but I think Nike knows those aren't flying off shelves either.

Not only did the penny line suffer the same fate going to outlets but the air max uptempos suffered the same fate. Look at the teal uptemposeverybody here wanted them and when they were retroed in 01 it sat in shelves. Reason being is that a small population remember these shoes and they're theones that will get them. The rest doesn't care about them and will usually buy a cheaper shoe instead of paying retail like some here do. If the pennyswere let's say 70 or 80 retail it would probably sell better and not last to the clearance rack. But hey people just don't care about the shoes andwould rather pay cheaper for another nike shoe or a different brand. Also payless shoe store still exist and because others just buy them for the under 20bucks price especially now with joblessness going around payless and marshalls discount stores and doing a bit better then niketown or footlocker. Most peoplehere wouldn't pay retail on pennys or uptempo teal. Maybe if the payton gloves would get retroed it would sit on shelves like the zoom flight clubs.That's why nike hasn't retroed the paytons either. First og release sat on shelves for a long time and went on sale. So whey release a retro for a fewwho will pay retail? Just makes no sense.Originally Posted by swingshot

Maybe what it comes down to is that some of us feel the colorways released weren't that well thought out, and that between the Heat colorway, the All Stars and the Black/Silver, one of those slots could've been
used for the Atlantics instead. Things are pretty different now from what they were in 01, and not that many Retro Nike Basketball shoes seem to sell out these days, but there was definitely some discussion about Atlantics
when the release date for the Black/Royals was confirmed.
Really though, they're just shoes, and not worth getting in an argument about.
Peace.
