For a lot of people Niketalk (NT) is the best sneaker forum out there. Run by fans, for the fans… no profits are made from the site.
The site has been around since 1999 and is often the first to break news in the sneaker world. The amount of information, pictures, and posts make this site one of the best sneaker forums. Its the biggest memberwise and postwise. Over 8 million posts and over 50,000 members show how popular this site is. It was the earliest forum since Nikepark (rip).
Review from Christomo:
Dedicated to informing the public about Jordan and Nike brand shoes. In depth discussions and the latest updates. There are always new and exciting news that is posted up and updated daily. You’re able to show off your own collection. Gives you the freedom to talk off the topic of shoes with their General Forum. Widely used and has a good reputation for Nike and Jordan brand news.
Comment from us:
Niketalk has a very loyal fanbase. We received over 10 reviews of the site in the last 12 hours in which people for example claimed nikepark was bombed by nicaraguan terrorists and niketalk is “da bomb” run by nobody else than Nelson Mandela or Nelson C (pick one). Anyway they all agree Niketalk is THE place to be.
Sneakerplay is the beautiful sister, brother and mum of myspace. Built and designed strictly for sneakerheads it is one of the best places to connect, talk about sneakers or show your collections. They have innovative features like a battle system for sneakers and are one of our favorite sites out there.
Some words from the Sneakerplay crew:
Sneakerplay is the culture’s first social network. It is a next-generation social software designed specifically for style conscious and creative individuals—a place where sneaker enthusiasts can connect with friends, meet like minded individuals and express their unique styles.
Members are able to create profiles, showcase their latest kicks in the gallery, read their favorite blogs with SP’s Aggregator and there is also a pretty cool battle feature for the competitive types. As you know the battle is a universal feature within our culture whether it’s in the domains of art (graffiti), music (bboy’ing) or sports. Sneakerplay’s innovative battle system allows you to view, comment and rate ongoing battles.
The site is elegant in its simplicity and design; reminiscent of a fresh clean pair of white kicks! Look out for dope new features and remember Sneakerplay – All Day!!
