I'll take the other pair

I too would rock them for hoops - no problem.... I could care less that everyone and their brother/sister/cousin/aunt/uncle etc... now has access to and wears elite socks.  They are a good look, they are comfortable, and they last.  Before these, I would wear a lot of JB socks and they were near as expensive and stretched out, frayed, and wore out much faster.

I wear elite socks darn near every day for casual, paddle tennis, hoops, tennis, and just general loafing around.  Call me a hypebeast or whatever you will, but for my $, they are the best socks out there.  I have spent bigger bucks on dedicated winter/hiking/padded socks by Smartwool and been very disappointed with the longevity and quality.  Feet are always comfortable, warm, and secure in Elites, especially in here in the cold midwest. 

I am in the exact same boat bro. I have 25+ pairs of elites and wear a pair every day, I just like being different.

Im with both of yall, i even got my girl on them.  Her mom wants some too.

Do you have to half size up on your shoes to wear the elites comfortably? I feel like the pink football ones will be ok, but the Bball elites will be too tight.

Found some white/carolina blue ones by me for $10, picked up a pair. Any way you can bleach these to make all-white pairs or anything like that?

Elite socks are legit I have the standard elites white/black, white/royal blue, and black/white, black/red I just hit up the outlet (I live in Vacaville CA) every now and then and get them from there. Though I do also recommend the "cushioned" crews I wont hoop in anything other then them or the elites.

For those who are looking for them the Pink and White KAY YOW's are available at the NIKE OUTLET at the CITIDALE... I picked up the last 2 pairs of ELiTE PLATINUMS the Blue and Grey , and the Orange and Grey ones... kinda wish the socks were all grey with the blue stripe, Owell they are still pretty dope...

Anybody know where to get any colors for cheap? I just wanna try em out and I'm not trying to pay 14+7 for shipping. Thanks in advance!

 

[keebantot]

Definately just ordered some pink compressions from sneakerfarm. Can't wait!

 

[rillo561]

I need to check the outlets or something because I can't find any hi-quarters. I can only find the Kobe and LeBron hi-quarter socks.

 

[manamazing55]

I got a couple of pairs of those too , their still going strong ,I also have a pair of the original Olympic ones with no stripe. I kinda like the ones with the grey stripe on the back, their a little thicker... Great come up 

 

[venomenon]

Yep got my OG pair from 3 years ago too. Black has faded and the padding aint much but still works wonders..

bring back black/org/grey!

 

[stokleythegr8]

Yeah my black grey and orange pair have faded too but other than that are still going strong
