I mean I have a few pairs. THese are good socks but I don't think they are as godly as people make them out to be. They are probably the best socks out there right now, but they aren't like perfection or make you play any better. The regular Nike basketball dir-fits are about the same IMO.

True.......... but the white/navys is not fair behind, and the black/red are one of my new favs now.

these socks are good, indeed.
As I suspected, after you wear and wash them, the grey stitching starts to fray on the back

Of course they don't make your game better, they're socks.

I got my two pairs today and I only tried them on but I have to tentatively agree with this. They don't feel much different from the NBA socks besides the extra cushioning, but even that's barely noticeable.
I will play in them before I completely write these off as overrated, but then again a lot of NT'ers are fashion > function.

What makes these socks excellent is the materials used in them and the way they are executed.

having more cushioning more than NBA socks is a good amount of cushioning...... NBA sock were basically the best socks you could get before these came out, personally i think they fit better..... and like Crazy said, they did a great job choosing the right materials and the execution. They are fashionable and fulfill the function side as well.

Balled in a pair tonight for the first time, the material on the outside of the sock is way too soft, my foot was sliding around way too much in my ZKVs and I had tons of heel slippage. They look great yeah, but the performance is nothing to write home about. Some of you in here are acting like Nike just reinvented the sock when really, they just put a cool design and added some extra cotton to their Dri-Fits, and marked it up 240%. I would never pay retail for these, glad I only paid $4 for two pairs. Plus for some crews, they are cut pretty low, much lower than my NBA crews.

got me out here paying 12 bucks for a pair of socks.
The anatomical ones that much better than the reg dri fit? The reg are 6 for 18 and the anatomical are 3 for 15.

Are they more comfortable than a regular NBA sock?
