NikeTalk

Welcome, everyone, to the new NikeTalk.com! Since the founding of our community in December of 1999, NikeTalk has outgrown or outlasted no less than three different software platforms in the course of our ongoing efforts to provide you, our fellow members, with the best possible experience. On behalf of our entire team, I'd like to thank you for your patience throughout the upgrade process.

This latest rendition of NikeTalk offers an array of new features designed to make our forums safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable. Yet, for all the changes, we've worked hard to make our revamped website feel like a natural extension of the community that so many of us have grown up with.
