Crooked Tongues is a sneaker portal with all elements one can think off. They have a pretty active forum, news which are updated nearly every day. Good feature articles every month and some cool community features like a sneaker gallery where you can display your collection.

You can write your own columns or check out a gallery of what people wear on the streets. Their presentation is different to other sneaker websites because the site is mainly in Flash which makes the feature articles more dynamic and rather small flash showcases than articles. Most of the features are accessible after you are logged in but registration is free and no big deal. Their online shop has some rare sneakers with gems like the Air Jordan I, Air Jordan XI low or Adidas Top Five. Crooked Tongues also have their own adicolor model which you can purchase in their online shop.

The Sole Collector / Iss forum is with more than 40000 members one of the largest resources for all kinds of sneaker related stuff.

Dave White is a very gifted artist and the best thing for all of us is that he uses some of his time to create sneaker art.

Some words from Dave:

What can I say… I am an artist and I love sneakers ! I set out in 2002 to paint my own collection, never anticipating the love for all things sneaker related out there.

I never tire of painting classics like the Jordan V, which to me is in the same league as a Ferrari or Mustang plane. As long as the brands keep producing great stuff, I\’ll be inspired to paint it.My website features a varied collection of old and new work with an online store to buy prints directly.

It also gives some background information on what, when and how I ended up here. Check out the past events and exhibitions for photos of the last few years. It\’s a great game to be in and I\’m grateful of the opportunity to be in it and meet so many cool people.

Peace,
Dave
