The GRENADE CrossFit Socks and Explosive Training


An "Explosive" Performance Sock


Why do I love these socks so much? I don't know why, I just do. The simplicity of the grenade symbolizes so much. To me, mostly strength. 



It's strong. It's Explosive. It's demanding. It's everything I want for a symbol of an athlete: Strength, Agility, Aggression, and Determination.


I did coach swimming for two years at Claremont McKenna College. It's a small private school in sunny Claremont, California and also my home town. While learning as much as I could as an Assistant Coach, I wanted to be more creative and more innovative with the sets I created. As a distance swimmer miler, (I swam the event that requires lap counters and hours of time for all the heats), I was bored. Seriously, what is more boring and challenging than starting practice, and spinning your arms and kicking your legs for two hours STRAIGHT?


The hard question I had to ask myself was, how do I make this interesting? How do I challenge myself to create an innovative practice?


The answer came to me one day: Explosive Training.

IRON Cross CrossFit Socks!

Iron Cross Ultimate CrossFit  Socks
 So when we went to the 2012 CrossFit Regionals, we did notice a few details about the CrossFit culture and community: it all had to do with edginess. Edginess because the Sport of Fitness is not only a Gym revolution, but also a cultural revolution. With the rebellious spirit against the LA Fitness and cookie cutter Globo-Gyms of the world, CrossFit embraces diversity, individuality, and competing in a futuristic tense. 

A facet of the alternative culture we noticed, besides from the heavy metal blaring during the dumbbell snatch event, was the prevalence of tattoos. This links back to the shift about embracing diversity and individuality - these people have it. Within the arena holds a certain and precise enthusiasm, a magic if you will.  People have 

We thought a Maltese Iron Cross with the words "CrossFit" inside, would be killer. What do you think?

Remind you of West Coast Choppers?

That's the beauty of all of this: we can create whatever we want.

CrossFit Socks made for US Military

Memorial Day just passed yesterday and it reminded us about our fallen nation's heroes. I feel proud and grateful of everyone in our military, from


To salute our nation's heroes we've put a few more designs into our production.


Stars and Stripes forever!
Over the past few months, I have sent hundreds and hundreds pairs of socks to military bases. There is a reason they want our socks: they are highly durable.




Meet Sergeant Pain

Also if you take notice, check out the small notches on the Sergeant Pain sock. If you look on the front of the foot, we have arch support surrounding the base of the sock. This both protects the front of your foot, as well as your sole. Also, on the back (Just below the skull of Sergeant Pain), you can see the same notches. This is our Achilles heel protection, and it wraps around to the front towards the shin as well. 

Let us know what you think! And also you can check out our entire selection of great CrossFit socks at:


Thanks for reading, and thank you to our committed military heroes!
