If you were searching "retro jordan release dates" in the early 2000s you found NT because we were the only forum talking about this stuff. NikeTalk is where online sneaker hype was born.

And honestly, beyond sneaker culture. Meming, trolling, etc
So many different iterations of Niketalk. We impacted sooooo much popular culture.
It’s like we were always 5-8 years ahead of the masses

It started with 23isback for me. Back in like 2002, that’s where I’d get info on releases. I think it was around the time of the flint 12s when I noticed SnugglesMcduggals handle was always tagged in the pictures. Looking for more info on kicks eventually brought me here to the Jordan Brand boards. Been here ever since.

I remember only going to the shoe forums here because general/music/sports all said 0 replies. Thought yall only went hard for shoes.
Later i found out yall had some type of website glitch/hack and The Lounge was JUMPIN'

This site helped me find legit OG XI Breds in 2004 when fakes were RAMPANT and even the legit sites seemed sketchy. I'd been a member for awhile, but had the money for them.
HBD!

Pub38.ezboard\bniketalk is engrained in my memory for some reason still. These birthdays seem to come around faster and faster. Found the website due to the Kicks magazine years ago. Remember being so hyped I read through every thread at the time because it wasn’t that many.
Many memories of good deals etc here but the one that still sticks out is when a member named TeeRev posted that NikeTown Australia had Space Jams, Concords, and Bred 6’s WAY after release. Way before cell phones are what they are now, had to purchase an international phone card and debit card. Asked to be subbed out of a summer league game to order the kicks. Took about two weeks but they showed up. Anyone else remember that post from way back when?
And of course the Eastbay backorder on Jordan’s. The Bred 11 dedicated forum because the hype had gotten out of hand on here.

Used to lurk for the shoe info in 2005, then one day wondered, "what's Sports and Training?"
Locked in from that day on.
Happy Birthday

Found this site back in 2005 while looking up the 3M Flint 13s. Lurked for about a year before finally signing up.
I don't post much but I have been on this site for over half my life. Learned everything from sneakers, clothing, fragrances, music, cars, etc.
Even dating, back when we were sliding into girl's inboxes on Myspace using the "can I borrow you" lines back in HS lol.
I'm 34 and still visit this site daily.
