12/99-12/2004 who’s still here from the first 5 years?

[eaglebball1499]

Been on site since 99 Nike park Nike street days but didn’t make an account til around 07 that’s when I first signed up for anything besides eastbay foot action finish line spike and kicks magazine

Those were the two! Nikepark and Nike Street. Damn I feel old. LOL

 

[T_p_Hill]

Yahoo search engine while searching for pictures of the XIV lol.

AKA Guccjermaine 1, 2, & 3

 

[wayniac211]

Found the blk & red site in 2001 typing “cheap Nike shox r4” at the coc community college library in SoCal. Still typing in “cheap Nike shox r4” but now it’s via mobile

This and calling the Nike Outlets. Nike Outlet Thread was gem back in the days when ogs share info and looking out for each other.

There's still a few triple OGs in there, outlets have just sucked. Not even worth updating there lately... man I miss the phone orders though, Nike even took away our surveys, jacked around with our birthday discos, shelves BEEN empty, anything good is retail with no disco...

jordan 15 black/red was the first hype shoe

 

[jmpboy]

Been around since 04. College friend put me on to niketalk. Been here every since

 

[jshortt]

Anybody remember Sneaker Nation? That was my message board precursor to NT.

 

[blastercombo]

I remember Shoetrends would sometimes ship their shoes early! Good to see a familiar screen name.

Lol shoe trends and in style shoes. The trinity of shoe information along with nt. Jump man 23 for jordan info lol. Lawd take me back, take me back lawd have mercy

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Shoe Trends was my favourite spot back in the early years. I had the Flint Grey Retro 9 on my feet before launch day, thanks to them. Good times.

Man, Shoe Trends ALWAYS shipped early if you bought enough from them. They sent me a bigass Nike bench for being "a good customer." They did trades too, if you had something they wanted. Miss those dudes.

 

[barrebaby]

Where you at ekin702 you said you'd BRB...

 

[jigga boi]

Loved those ekin posts/wallet breakers lol

 

[Junok]

Kind of?

 

[blastercombo]

Remember when a rare OG jordan pickup would run you back………. 350-400 max? Lol people that much for GR’s now. Crazy how times have changed

 

[cubanbeee]

Still hanging in there. Had another Cubanbeee screen name but had start over when there was that relaunch or whatever in '03 or whenever it was.

 

[Jgeezy79]

Those were the two! Nikepark and Nike Street. Damn I feel old. LOL

Me too! I mostly just lurk these days though. Still remember selling a pair on foamposites on here back in the day when you had to wait on the money order to come in the mail to make sure it wasn't counterfeit

 

[RyGuy45]

I remember pullin up Nikepark in the computer lab in college and showing off my "sneaker knowledge."

We used to go crazy looking at that site for upcoming kicks, dudes thought I was some insider. Great times!

 

[jordanfreak23]

Time flies, I was 32 when I joined in 1/04 and Niketalk has been a daily check in ever since. I’m about ready to pull out the silver and face boxes and pour one out for the good old days. lol

Raising my hand. Been here since 99-00. It’s come a long way. I’ve taken years off of here but seem to always find my way back.

 

[ceo insane]

‘03 for me- I remember when Method Man leaked that ginormous catalog image of the blk/red XVIs in ‘2000

Wow the Nikepark memories! ..anyone remember pimptight.com? -Kicks section -my first view of the stealth XVs before the 2nd Kicks mag. The little geo city webpages were great for seeing unreleased samples -anyone recall the ‘brownie’ XVIs and the ‘red pill, blue pill’ XVIs??? Those were fire!

 

[bmandagod]

06 07? Trying to find those barry sanders retros . I still don't have them till this day lol .

 

[3thaman]

Yes money orders, these resellers would give up if we were still doing those. Lol

 

[WOOWOP]

I think I joined in 2003 under the name djkoopknock. Think nt switched over throughout the years cuz I got locked out lol now I’m woowop. I can’t leave this site. Remember the crazy post from the first altitude release. I posted pics from my sidekick 2 from sharptstown mall(rip) in Houston Texas. It was a **** show. They literally pulled the front doors off the hinges.
