Been on here since 2001 through multiples accounts that have been locked out or banned. As a high school kid, I moved states and schools. NT and sports were the constants during those years that I could count on. It exposed me to a lot of culture and insights that I otherwise wouldn’t have had access to. As imperfect and dysfunctional as it may seem on here sometime, I believe most NT’ers are genuinely good and unique people. It is funny how it has shifted over the years from seeming like it was mostly teenagers and college kids to a bunch of us old folks.

As previously mentioned, it is wild seeing people like Neek Supreme and Muscle68 who have spun off into success beyond NT. I don’t know that NT is influential anymore, but it played a huge part in shoe and streetwear culture in early 2000’s.
 
My official join date is September 2000, but I lurked for a few months before that after learning about NT from the shoutout it got in the KICKS issue of Slam Magazine.

Never did I imagine that I would still be on here 24 years later and that, for most of my time on here, I’d be coming in mostly things other than info on shoe releases. It’s a testament to the founders and members that NT became a place where so many people could come together on-line for so many different things.

The NBA thread is part of my daily life, period. I’ve looked at other options and it remains my favorite spot in-line by far to chop it up about NBA basketball.

Heartfelt congratulations and a sincere thank you from me to the founders, as well as the moderators, who’ve contributed to this site’s 25 year run.
 
Who’da thought that we’d still be sittin around this many years still talkin bout sneakers…. I know some don’t talk as much as they used to, but it’s still a part of all of us.

Happy bday NT :nthat::pimp:
 
Happy 25th NT :smokin

Stumbled upon NT when I was in Afghan choppin’ it up with a friend of mine about kicks. That was our first deployment together and bonded over sneaks and he put me on NT. That was 2013 and been here since :smokin
