made me feel bad for spending 12$ for a pair of socks 

He doesn't know %!$*. Most FL don't know about their product that much. When I say most I say 88%.

Seriously. NBA Elite socks are probably the best out there right now. Nike is a HUGE name for a reason, they don't put out crappy stuff. Well, 90% of the time.

Not sure which socks you're talking about broham...there are NBA socks...and there are Nike ELITE socks. Two totally different socks.

Are they the elites or the essentials?? The essentials crews have made there way there in the last week or two

ehh.. iunno man. i played in my nike elites a few days ago and they were ok to ball in. i'm not sure if i'd buy more pairs.

 

[becomelegendary]

picked up black/red lebron elites yesterday so sick! might go back for the white/reds!

 

[just another pair]

elites are one of the most comfortable socks i've ever played in. thorlos are really comfy too

 

[haam sap lao]

I can't really tell the difference between Hyperelites and regular Nike socks. I only have them because they were on discount or I needed them to reach $100 to use a coupon.

I rock elites with thorlos on top. I found that the thorlos slip around a lot if it's just against your skin, but the elites aren't cushioned enough for me but fit to my foot well. It's a perfect combination for me

Yea, I have had quite a few pairs of NBA game socks from different years, and I have some  D League game socks

The NBA socks I have had were made by Champion in the mid 90's. Cotton, not the acrylic blend that you buy in the stores and at least twice as thick and soft.  The D league socks are for bare feet but they are the game version. I have 3 pairs of high quarters and 2 pairs of crews. Same thing very thick and soft. These are direct from the locker rooms.

Here is a tip- The closest readily available socks that are most like NBA game socks that I have found are Wigwam King Cotton

I two pairs of the kobe high quarter elites in XL.  Idk about the lebron's

 

[just another pair]

you know what i was always puzzled about? how kids rock 2 pairs or even 3 pairs of socks at one time. im pretty sure not all elites, but does that mean these kids are wearing shoes a little to big for them and do that? because i wear a true to size 10. and i could never wear 2 pairs because it would just be too cramped!

 

[tdrizzle]

I want some no show or low cut elites.

I have the kobe's and those are nice but I fee ridiculous wearing kobe socks with jordan kicks.

Is it just me or do jordan socks wear thin really quickly.

 

[lbfitted]

yesterday i copped some of those regular nike dri fit basketball socks at marshalls.... 3.99 i got both black and white lol gonna wear em in my game tonight an see how that goes lol

I get basketball shoes a half size bigger so my toes dont hurt when im on the court. Double socks sometimes if the the extra half size makes the shoe feel roomy. I feel as if I dont have to double sock with Nike Elite socks.

 

[cobyatch]

has anyone seen the site that had the usa socks (not sure if they were elite, but from the pics they came in a box) for like $6.00 with free shipping if you spend 120+ on a shoe? i cant think of the site, but i remember seeing a sz. 11 kobe 3d for 190. let me know if you came across that site.
edit: nvm it was kicks-lab

 

[andfattoo]

i always double/triple up on socks when i ball/workout, i a lot of college/professional ballers do it too.

I wear 2 pairs cus I have slimmer feet. It helps fill out the shoe

 

[catchntds]

I wear two socks for cushioning and stability so my feet don't slip or anything

 

[eugenile gts]

i wish i can double up on socks, my gigantic wide feet prevents me from doing that ha

THIS!! Haha. I have wide feet too and can't do double sox cuz it gets real cramped. I did find those basketball sox too from marshalls. Mine were 2.99. I bought every pair (5). Theyree real comfortable and I like the fit. They're a lil too thin tho. Starting to like thicker socks for cushioning!!!
