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

anyone around size 10-12 wear a size medium? is the fit too tight?

i'm a size 11 and i only wear mediums.

the foot bed of the sock is a bit shorter so the socks don't go up your leg as far, but they aren't tight.

it's about a half inch difference on how far it goes up your leg.
 
Any info on these?

Just a heads up, be VERY careful washing the White/Red based colorways of these socks, as Nike with their cheapness, has used a dye that bleeds all over the socks and everything else, even when washed in cold water.

Puerto Ricos and White/Game Royal/University Gold are available in Large.

Damn, I missed out on the Fireberry!

Eastbay, how come the live chat representatives always say they have no incoming shipments, but then these 2 socks suddenly appeared on your website?

Could be a return or a missing stock and not an initial incoming shipment.

You see, I knew one of you would say something like this..

Before,

After,

This was after cold water wash, no bleach, and mild detergent.

Now what?  Personally, I play in socks from Old Navy, then only got these while on sale for 9.99 in the pack of two. Still wasn't worth it.

SOLEdier could be right. It could have also been a shipment we didn't expect, or the agents on chat didn't have access to the upcoming shipments. You can always feel free to contact this account via a PM if you'd like us to check thoroughly on an item for you, as we do have access to some additional resources.

I've noticed that there's no love around here for the Elite-like Jordan Game Day crews, but when I went to the recently re-opened Niketown Chicago, they had a new version in a few colorways. The sales associate claimed that they were only being sold at Niketown Chicago.

The fact that you took pics of the socks before kinda makes me think you were either trying to screw them up, or at least hoping something would happen to them.

They are now pink.
