With the Kardashian women doing so well, brother Rob has been getting a lot of heat for his lack of personal success. On an episode of Khloe and Lamar, Rob revealed his desire to create a sock line. The family called him crazy, but the success of the brands below have proven that its a viable idea.
- Stance Socks. California
Stance has made a niche in the Action Sports market, targeting Skate and Snow. They are lucky enough to sponsor Andrew Reynolds (skate) and Stevie Bell (snow). They offer 6 collections, Reserve (shown below), Casual, Art, Performance, Snow, and Kids and promote bold expression and free-thinking through their colorful, often non-matching, line of socks. Stance is the uncommon thread.
- Happy Socks. Sweden
Started in 2008, Happy Socks is currently targeting the quirky businessman through color and high quality cotton. They have done collaborations with Opening Ceremony and Barneys, among many others. The new collection, Chapter #FOUR, will be delivered 3 season drops in stead of 1 massive delivery. This means HS will be “giving you the right Happy Socks for the right Happy Season.” Check some of the current collection.
- Topman.
- Volcom Puppet Socks. California
My personal choice when it comes to showing a little flare around the ankles, Volcom’s Puppet series is really fun. Besides their obvious playful nature, the long time action sport brand is doing it up with these socks. Grab a pair, and you’ll be addicted like me.
