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

[iks mod]

When you guys wash your elite socks, do you flip them inside out before throwing them in the washing machine?

What I usually do is dry them inside out, whether it's tumble drying them for a bit or hanging them up

In my basement I have a rack that I can hang stuff on that works out nicely.  I'd say the safest move is to hang dry them.  I do use the actual dryer here and there though...

they dry much faster also, when its hung inside out.

Cool, but when washing (not drying), you keep them as is (I.e not flipped inside out)?

Haven't posted in here in a long time.

I got these from my 11 year old son for by birthday not too long ago. These are the elite match fit soccer crew socks. I wear them when I work out at the gym.

The only basketball Nike elite socks I've had are the ones pictured below so that's the only comparison I can make.

The footbed on the soccer crews feel a little more cushioned. They are also designed to keep your foot in place of your soccer "boot".

It's a really nice sock. It's not as thick as the elite basketball crew but the fabric seems much more durable & supportive.

How should I be washing the Elite or DriFit socks?

I know not to use fabric softener on DriFit but other than that any recommendations?

One last thing. I was looking at the make up of the fabric of the hyper elite basketball crew & found how different it is with the elite match fit soccer crew (taken from Nike.com's product description).

hyper elite basketball crew - Dri-FIT 70% polyester/24% nylon/4% cotton/2% spandex.

elite match fit soccer crew - 44% nylon/40% polyester/12% cotton/4% spandex.

i gotta try some stance performance socks soon

Love the low-key look of the black n white nba socks and to have that with a compression sock would be excellent

For basketball elites, I hand wash, turn them inside out and hang dry them.  Assuming you live in the ideal climate of course.

Time to get a pair of the new NBA stocks.  I like the Stance Basketball socks (I have the All-Star west version), but not worth $25 retail to me.  I do want to see how the Stance NBA socks are.

That reminds me I need to stock up on some for bare feet joints
