Are there other sneaker forums that aren't nike-based?

Are there other sneaker forums that are heavily into non-nike shoes? I'm always on the lookout to trade and buy dope adidas, new balance or vans and all I see are nike, nike and more nike.

sadly, theres not too much of a market outside nikes, not as far as the beasts go at least. sb's alone keep nike eons ahead of the other companies for hype. adidas hopped on for a minute with some of their 35ths; consortium series were going for insane prices when they dropped (they might still be, i havent been up on em in a while). but yea, crooked tongues is a good bet...those brits love their nb's and adidas just as much, if not more, than nikes. i guess theyre into the fact that they got a home based company (nb). nike has absolutely no presence in the US as far as production goes.

so there was my cry for help about the sneaker community...theres more out there than the pink (purple/black) boxes. if you ask me, thats when sb took a sharp turn downhill. damn dunkles.

hypebeast forums are good too, them heads got plenty of info on other stuff, including a grip of streetwear info. good guys over there at hypebeast, keep us way informed.

BALDERDASH.

another vote for Crooked Tongues ... it's a bit more 'mature' than the others

[DJ_Flame]

To those who suggested crooked tongues, much thanks.

The peeps on there have equal love not only for nikes, but adidas, asics, nbs etc as well. hardly any flames and shit, and they have great info besides.

Only bummer is they're mostly located in the UK, but heads there are tight.

crooked tongues is dope. but really no other company is doing it for me with diff materials and colors except for nike. some nbs are getting there and es is doing some cool k7 colorways. as for nike, no other company seems to be doing it big technology wise either. free + 360 (gnarly) vs adidas 1 ( bleh no one likes having to buy new batteries for their shoes )
