'09 & '11 True Blue 3 Comparison Question.

[drew]

My apologies to the mods if this thread is inappropriate. Please lock if necessary.
Question to you guys that both owned the '09 and '11 retros of the True Blues.

Did any of you guys notice a difference in quality between the two? Did the paint in one of them seem less likely to chip? 

Much appreciated for any help NT fam.

2009s has a slightly softer leather than the 2011s. The 2011s has a better paint job and doesnt chip nearly as easy as the 09s. the 09s have a little more padding around the ankle portion of the shoe. on the 2011s, the stars on the sole are more raised, which gives them slightly more traction. also on the 2011s, the JORDAN on the sole is filled in with white between the lettering, while on the 2009s its all filled in with red.

Great comparison. I must agree I like the paint job on the 2011's. I wore mine a couple of times and it has not chipped one bit. Now on the Fire Reds and TB3 09's the paint seem to chip a little faster after wearing a couple of times.
