The old--and I mean OLD--days of NT were something else. I sometimes wonder what happened to a lot of the guys from back then, if they just decided one day they didn't care about shoes anymore, or if they just got tired of the forum for whatever reason and left. I remember some over the years saying they were done with NT because they didn't like some of the comments, or they didn't like providing information only to have it be questioned by dumbasses. I personally never understood the latter line of thinking, but I can see why it would annoy some people. Ah well. Memories.*When I first joined NT.. the collectors on here were insane. The stuff they used to post was GOLD and valued like crazy. You could literally see collectors that stare and collectors that wear and everything in between.. anything close to that is welcomed to me because they are kind of forgotten now adays.

Loved his pics. Wish he was still on here regularly.
Yea, JMAdidas, Baby J, Retrokid, SnugglesMcDuggle, and several more. Some had nutso collections, some had solid info. It was just different back then, as sneakers still hadn't reached the mainstream apex they are at now. And the retro releases were far more infrequent than today. I mostly liked seeing pics of OGs in nice condition. But the conversations were great back then, too. Not that they aren't nowadays, but again, it's just a bit different.Yeah JMAdidas I think is the main guy that comes to mind. I think he used to be some top guy for Champs or something like that. But basically back then, there wasnt much shoe media so leaks like the ones he and some kind of Baby J used to give us were gems and bunch of people would always be like source or your FOS lol.
For the collectors.. I think dudes just got older and collectors became less of a thing over time so they prob felt liek their niche was done. I imagine theyre either somewhere in SM or they went dark and still collect for themselves.
Never understood why they'd leave either way though.. collectors were always the best because their stuff was like looking at an actual archive. Dudes used to be on here posting Millitary Blue IV's wayyy before 2006. Back then the MB IV's were like the grail of grails.
Respect, brotha. And yeah, I've been wearing my 34s around the house after work and the more I look at them, the more I like them. Which leads me at some point every night to fight the urge to buy another pair for backup. So far I've been able to resist. For one thing, I obviously have way too many shoes and it'll probably take me forever to wear these down enough that I would feel the need to bust out a fresh pair. The other big thing is, as much as I love them now, I don't trust that this white mesh plasticky upper is not going to turn yellow no matter what I do. And if that happens, these will go from looking dope as **** to looking more just like ****rainking , I love the 34 man. But those on display are on borrowed time. If they make a true black red scheme, those will be in display and I will wear the whites. Or, seriously thinking about another pair of those if they dont come with a black red. Also, thank you for your comments of the reasons behind why I am into this.
Appreciated.
Yeah, wish he was still around consistently.
For sure. I dunno though, for me it's usually of no consequence. I ignore what needs to be ignored and enjoy the good stuff. There's never anything on here that makes me think, I need to quit NT. Every once in a blue moon when there's a complete jackass, I just put them on ignore and it's like it never happened LOLI really think a lot of the old NT vets have moved on because of the change in attitude. Too many smart *** "sneakerheads" doing this now cuz its a thing. Within a few months, this thread will go from having the same 10 to 15 people talking in it to 100 overnight with all sorts of flame comments about stuff that may have nothing to do with the shoe itself. Seen it too many times. Some just dont care to deal with that anymore.
Yeah this site has way more positive to it. You have to laugh the dumb**** off.For sure. I dunno though, for me it's usually of no consequence.
