What's good with Nike Elite Basketbal Crew socks? (SOCKS FTW!)

Here's our take on the Phoenix Suns Foamposite coming out this weekend. Our socks feature an old school vibe with an allover pattern around the sides featuring a basketball sun and cacti. In the middle you will find gradient streaks inspired by the Suns logo. We had a ton of fun making these, they release tonight at 8pm EST.
How do you guys even make the designs on these? It seems very time consuming. Do you guys have like designers or just you?
 
Unfortunately all of those colors are direct through Nike, so we wouldn't be able to get them for ya, sorry!

Here's a preview of an insane collab we're executing with the University of Central Florida this weekend. Definitely the start of a great relationship with one of the nation's largest colleges. During the UCF/Memphis game, they will be dropping these custom Nike Elite Socks from the rafters with tiny parachutes as a giveaway, almost 100 pairs will be given away. If you're in Orlando, it will be quite the sight to see!



Are you able to "mock up" different colors based on these same designs. Would love to see a white or orange elite sock with black, orange, and white Digi camo like the one third from the left. Excellent job on these btw. I would think other programs would like to get on board asap after seeing these.

I would also love an orange one like you described or the splatters
 
Can anyone here post an on-feet picture of a custom elite sock?

Want to see if the split is noticeable.
 
Rock Em, are they seamless or not?

If not, are they noticeable and where is the cut located? 

Don't ignore this the third time.

I hope you realize that it's sunday at 10:25 am...

I believe they have that kind of stuff on there site. What do you mean by seamless?
 
Like is there a noticeable cut in the design?
Not necessarily, we try to make our designs as seamless as possible. There is however a thin line that appears on some items that is a shade darker because it is where the patterns meet. You can see it a bit in this picture, a pair of elephant/cement print custom Nike Elite socks we made for our guy Alan Stein

Thank you for the picture!

They blend in really well.

Do you have an Instagram or some place where I can see most of your customs?
 
this thread is boo boo now

this thread has been ruined by all this custom talk. there should be a separate post for all that in sneaker showcase or something. this thread should be for just the regular nike elite socks and whatever other variations there are of them (sequalizers, 2.0s, etc)
 
$15 on socks is bad enough, $40 is ridiculous

Nike can get away with ridiculous prices because the dumb consumers are willing to buy just about everything to fit in with the trend, hype, etc.

Bunch of clowns grown men wearing bright socks and bright shoes

yeah, this thread is like the Q&A section for 'specific', go do your own business somewhere else.
i thought we have a mod here.....

they're like what eastbau does with their account. I don't see anybody complaining about that..

this is a TERRIBLE comparison. eastbay provides release information, product stock info, and help with customer service. this sock company is promoting their own products and just trying to sell their stuff. you dont see eastbay posting in threads trying to get people to buy their eastbay brand reversible jerseys or their version of elite socks.

So which are the best?

Elites, 2.0s, Sequalizers or Vapors?

Comfort and cushioning wise, I'd say 2.0 but a lot of stitching in the inside causes fraying. The OG elites didn't have that problem but they went flat quicker IMO after several washes. Haven't tried the sequalizers or vapors so I can't comment on those two

Also I agree, take the custom talk elsewhere. I rather see real info on Nike's socks then someone elses work. It's great and all but still a form of advertising. I'd say either talk through PMs or a different thread.

ill look into it.

the thing that throws me off is the "Insider" designation of the account which means there might have been approval of customer service-type of discussions.
