Banned has all sorts of skateboarding stuff and a legit Nike SB account, and they go for almost retail.

My boss Chris Nunez actually runs the site. I’m honestly not sure how long the site has been up but I think more than a few years. I believe the motivation for this site was to get skateboarding stuff to people in places where there isn’t a skate shop anywhere near by, they could just get it sent to them. I think the site is special because it sells everything for a little cheaper than most sites, especially SBs. We just recently started selling SBs online this year but have had the account in the store since 2002. We try and sell them at decent prices so that it’s fair for everyone and no one has to pay a ton like other sites.
(thx Bryan for your review)
Comment from us:
Keep it up guys. Cool review and props that you try to keep the prices fair.
This blog like the name says is all about Nike Skateboarding aka Nike SB but besides their focus on Skateshoes they also feature all sorts of other sneaker models.

Mark sent us this review of Nikeskateboarding.org
They have by far the fastest news on sneakers in all the leading blogs..they have posted numerous leaked out sample shoes which have then been posted on other blogs… Their sample shoes always result in hot topics in leading forums such as ISS, niketalk etc…
Its the same founder as their forum sidious…
Mr. Hawkins has sent us this review:
Nikesb.org has been around for just over a year now and has already established itself as a premier sneaker website for Nike SB fans and Non-SB fans alike. What sets NikeSB.org apart from other sneaker websites is the close community feeling that makes all feel welcomes. The layout of the site is also cutting edge and very easy to navigate, making it a freindly and attractive place for new members to browse and pick up new information.
Everyone who is into Dunks and other Nike SB models got to check this forum. The biggest Nike Skateboarding related community out there with a lot of fresh features like fake check sections, dunkpedia and much more.

Mark sent us this review:
This is the sickest sneakers forum, they have a good visual dunkpedia fake guide and a lot of info on sneakers especially on all SB kicks…The site was incorporated on the April 13th 2005 by sidious the founder of the site.
Thx to Kidoopz for this detailed review:
I’ve been on Nikeskateboarding.org almost as soon as it was launched by Sidious in around April 2005. Of course the site didn’t bear much fruit in the beginning, but when our community grew, so did the information that our site holds now. Even though it may seem that the site caters mostly to skateboarding and dunks, Nikeskateboarding.org is also deep within the borders of Jordans, Bapes, other Nike sneakers and clothing gear. Not to mention the people of the site love to help each other out within each forum and especially in the legit check forum. Also our Buyer feedback system gives the persons of the site almost the assurance that they will not be frauded. There is also a Hall of Shame Forum which lists almost every person whos frauded from either NSB.org or on any other sneaker forum and to keep buyers or sellers aware.. There are just so many things that make me proud to be apart of this site. Especially how closely knit everyone is, and how flaming another member is almost rare. We are just there for another, and this is why I actually enjoy going to the site.
Oh and not to mention our SB dunkitionary…Which lists every tidbit of information about the sneaker.. Including the release date, rareness at launch, the artist or collaborator.
Well I had just to give you guys the insight of the site i luv to check up on. You guys should check up on it some time..
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.
Hicalorie.com is the online portfolio and shop of the HiCalorieDesign crew. Besides custom sneakers they design toys and illustrations. Superfresh stuff from England.

Some words from the HiCalorieDesign crew:
All of these shoes are designed in extremely limited runs and most are exclusive to the Hicalorie store. Some of them as exclusive as 1off originals, that means the face lickingly good pair you bought from us, that’s right, is the only pair in the world! Doesn’t that just make you feel like you’re the ambrosia pudding of life itself.
These shoes are all fresh out of the box, into the studio, onto a workbench, back into the box and ready to wrap themselves round your unworthy feet. They’re so shiny and new the soles havent even been licked yet.
Hicalorie sneakers are the new black.

The man who is responsible for the Pigeon Dunks writes about sneakers, the business and his life. Jeff Staples blog offers insight into one of the leading minds in this biz. (Darrin Hudson should really google his name to know whats up…)

Some words from Jeff Staple:
I think everyone had a “Darrin Hudson” in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn’t matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever…it was ON. Well for Darrin and I…it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then.
This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I’m still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I’ve since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own.
It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006…

Hikmet the owner of Solebox started his first sneaker shop in 2001 in Berlin Mitte. He was a bit ahead of the time because not many people in good old Germany really understood why he sold “old sneakers”. He sold OG sneaker, deadstock stuff in their original boxes.

In 2003 he moved to a new location and started Solebox with his two brothers. Right now they have two shops in Berlin, TRAINER in central Berlin and SOLEBOX in west Berlin. Solebox has all major brands, rare sneakers and frequently exclusive releases. The sneaker culture grows in Germany and top shops like Solebox support this development.
Some word from Hikmet:
May the sole be with you…
Immortalsole is a “sneaker speciality store” for lovers of classic sneakers. Great to see some people holding it up for the real classics. Some retros will never have the flavor of classic models.

Some words from the Immortalsole crew:
Some shoes deserve to die. Some are so aesthetically challenged they should be strung up by their laces, taunted for several days then boiled in acid. Others are immortal and should be worshipped as gods.
Immortal Sole was created in 2004 by a couple of 30-something lads who never had the sneakers they deserved. When the classic styles were all the hype, they were pre-pubescent paper boys, banking £3.62 a week. By the time they’d saved up, the sneaks were either not cool anymore, or only available in a shop-soiled size 17. They bought the size 17’s in the hope that they’d grow into them. They never did, and stumbled around looking wack for years. These early mental scars, and the knowledge that 1000’s of people out there suffered the same traumatic experience, became the driving force behind Immortal Sole.
Bow down. Chow down. Toe candy never tasted so sweet.
