Now this has an alien/godzilla/lizard feel to it. Definitely almost something relapsed from the 90's, maybe the Godzilla remake movie with Matthew Broderick? It's a good thing that after this, we will have the next sock available, "WODZILLA". Hopefully a whole bunch of CrossFit gyms will go crazy after that :).
Looks familiar, doesn't it?
That's fair game, but don't underestimate these babies. First they Achilles tendon and arch support (check around the gear). And second on the front, you get a little extra padding and breathing, as well as a little Crossfit signature on the toe.
I hope you enjoy our socks and they make your WOD much better, and more fun! How many CrossFit guys would like to see some performance crew socks?
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.
So we knew our Ultimate CrossFit socks look great, but we knew they'd look a lot better in pink. Hundreds of girls ordered our Striped Skull socks, so we thought we'd continue with a pink version of our Original CrossFit Socks.
What makes them so special? It definitely has to do with the pink notches surrounding the heel and front of the foot. The texture and weaving of the sock, around the base of the foot, provides compression support for your Achilles Tendon and sole of the foot.
