NikeTalk is an Internet forum for the discussion of sneakers and sneaker collecting. The community is on the Yuku network. This website was started by Nelson Cabral, from Montreal in Canada on December 10, 1999. Since then Niketalk has evolved past just talking about shoes, and now is a place for discussion about sports, the media, music, video games, and the news.
