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

[luichi]

im interested, how much are they? living over here in New Zealand we don't get them

 

[xx legod xx]

I'll be in California in August so hoping to scoop up a variety of these.

Would anyone be able to pick a couple pairs of these up for me if you have them around you? If so, message me please. I've been on the hunt for awhile and can't seem to find them anywhere

$12

Just a heads up. Footlocker has a BOGO sale on socks. Check your local Footlocker, Champs, and Footactions. I got 4 pairs for $36.

^^The Nike Elite's?

 

[phnrprman]

Yes. They had white and black elite crew socks at the ftl I went to this morning.

 

[andfattoo]

Which footlocker was that?

 

[ehh]

SMH @ these being listed for $100 on ebay.

 

[andfattoo]

LOL......... the white/blacks and black/whites are pretty rare...... i havent even seen college players wear white/blacks.

 

[dneou20]

Dudes tripping over these socks with that price... Fortunately I got some hookups hah, just grabbed some red/whites and navy/whites for 6 each.

 

[onesole]

I work at FTL and I can't even get these socks from them.  Stock locator FTL...I had to pick up a pair at FNL, and they only had the white/oranges 

 

[bigsupa]

I WEAR MINE WHILE REFFING....KIDS BE LIKE LOOKING AT ME LIKE YO REF...

I've been reluctant to post in here, but I've read nothing but praise on these since the thread started.

My question: my feet sweat A LOT (doesn't matter if I'm playing or at work). I'm aware of the moisture-wick gimmick -- does it really make a difference with socks?
I'm ready to stock up on these seeing that it's summer down here and I'm wearing lots of kicks to the office.

ALSO, I'm used to ankle/"no show" socks. I've seen the Nike Elite Running socks and it seems they incorporate the same technology. Can I just go with these and call it a day?

Thanks for any input!

Oh, and Happy Monday.

i have both the running elite and basketball elites. the running elites i didnt like too much. i feel like they lost their benefits after one wear. theyre alot thinner than the bball elites. it also depends on how breatheable your shoes are as well if you have super sweaty feet. i noticed that my foamposites and flightposites are the worse with breathability no matter what socks i wear. i havent balled in the running elites, and i dont think i'll try, they just feel too thin with the pounding i get from my feet when balling. bball elites i have no complaints, nice cushion and i dont notice them when i'm balling. but if you plan on wearing low cut socks with moisture wicking for work, you can go with just about any brand socks that isnt 100% cotton. i get sweaty feet too and ive enjoyed under armour socks because theyre thin and the moisture wicks well. they also seem to last longer than cotton socks. get a cheap 3 pack from marshalls like i did and try them out, see how you like em. i'd recommend that before dropping $6-12 on one pair of nike socks.
