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

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...

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.

appreciate your thoughts.  repped. 
 
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.
