If their names are different on IG I may not have found them or never thought to look them up. But Big facts!! I've been lurking since like 00 or 01.. think it was 00 and ended up getting an account by 04 so I remember what it was like a little lol.
When I FIRST found NT I remember not knowing what a message board was and then how technical dudes were about shoes. It took me like 4 posts to understand what shoe someone was talking about. Real Gem back then.. a lot of solid non wearing collectors. I can't imagine what it would be to be where I am now and discovering it back then though!
JB forum was the wild west before we got a showcase forum and the B/S forum was on a million before they put in the no bumping rule
I learned so much in the early days. Retrokid and Air Rev immediately come to mind.
To follow up on this, a big reason NT was the epicenter for the most knowledgeable folks in the sneaker community, is that in the late 90's/early 2000's aside from about two other places, NT was pretty much the sole place to go for sneaker heads. We were spoiled with the convergence of so many OG knowledgeable heads back then.
