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

Volts sold at retail and was restocked numerous times throughout.

Got a few pairs of orange/white, white/orange, black/red, white/black, black/white
 
Definitely a lot of hype for a sub-par performance sock. A lot thinner than I had suspected...my Champion crew socks that I bought at Costco were thicker...

At least I know now why players double sock with these.
 
the newer ones recently released are a lot thinner, granted they fit better but probably half the cushioning than the ones released i want to say september and back? my white/pink fit perfect brand new but feel as if they're only a little bit thicker than my regular dri fit socks...

Yes, the XL's are ridiculously big
If you dont have a size 15+ foot dont even bother with the XL's

the ones i got from a couple of years back are thicker than the ones that just release a month or so ago.  not only are they thicker, but they are thick in the right places.

Ah, figures.  Going to look into Thorlos...or maybe just stick with my Champion crews haha.
 
I got a pair of thorlos and i like Elites better....... again because the Elites are thick in the right places instead of thick everywhere for the most part. and i didnt like they way they made my foot slide.

I'll try rocking socks underneath my elites then.

Not as thick- stretchier in fact. I think the Nike football pinks and volts are even more comfortable to some extent than the basketball elites.  Not as much padding, but very reasonable.
 
nope.....i would say the fit tighter..... but definitely not as much padding. i like how the neons feel though.
 
Can somebody tell me where to get those Volts for retail?

Sad day when dudes trying to flip socks for profit.
 
its been a sad year and some change cause people have been doing it for a while now. and you wont be able to find real volts for retail right now from what i know.
 
do you guys know any places i cant fint white or black elites for below retail these are the only colors i rock dont do the color thing
 
Just picked up another pair (black/white)... Love these things

Copped some new ones myself. Got the maroon/white crews for my KD III "********" and some white/red hi-quarters. Probably swing by the local outlet store after the holidays and scoop some more with the $25 score card Nike gave me
 
BEWARE.... navy/reds and green/yellow coming very soon on NDC........ smh on the price hike to 14 bucks though.
 
saw that too... hopefully that means they'll show up at the es, if not i'll be grabbing on swoosh
