Just jumping in to say hello. I can't believe it's almost 11 years since I signed up. So all the old NT LEGENDS are all too familiar to me. Ah yeah the good 'ol days.
NT exploded after it was mentioned in that KICKS magazine special of Slam magazine. And the whole game just got so big an incomprehensible, it forced me into direct retirement. Where are the days of the annual Air Jordan release we all anticipated so much? Oh well, can't stop time and stuff. The amount of special editions and released. I sure lost track. Shoes that all sell out in a single day, only to find them all on Ebay the next day. For double the retail. It's just sad in some way. And hardly anyone sells overseas, which doesn't cost the seller a penny more. You only have to write down an extra line on the address, the country. Wow.
And boy do I miss the days you could login on NT and still find your post on page 1. Try keeping track of posts now!
Well I'm not here to sound bitter. I still receive Sole Collector magazine every time, so I'm keeping myself informed and oh yes, sometime it's very hard to resist the temptation to get a certain pair. Or when I do my annual Ebay check and see some nice retro's and then realize they were released months ago (Still looking for that illusive pair of Air Jordan 7 cardinals in a size 12).
My big passion now is my BMW E36 convertible, which is now, arguably, the highest spec E36 convertible in existence, as I basically, bit by bit added every single factory option that was available for this car, including some rare stuff and even some stuff not originally offered by BMW for this 3-series. I don't even want to know how deep I'm in, but I could probably have a shoe collection like no other.
This is probably my single post for the next two years or so. I always liked NT. I couldn't have never imagined I could every stay away from this site longer than a few hours. Now it's months, years.
Till next time.
