Being a shorter stockier guy, I find if I wear crew socks and shorts they make me look shorter than I already am. So in that case Ill go ankle socks on 1s, 3s, 4s and 5s often. That's my opinion anyway.
Ngl if I am wearing pants and don't plan on letting anyone inspect my socks, I might be wearing some black adidas socks with my J's. But trust if I am wearing shorts I am definitely not brand hopping.
No….please don’t. The whole outfit means a lot, better to have no brand socks on for those occasions. But, I get it…..who really cares, we’re grown ups. My bad, it just makes me cringe when I see it happening
Can’t front…..didn’t want to watch this video, but getting ready for work today and just woke up……and bruh….. I love this one……you’re on point with the sock knowledge. I’m 45 and am 100% a sock head……always always buying new socks……mostly black, either Jordan or Nike……and just started to buy more white again……even though I always had a pair or two ready for that outfit. Ty for taking the time to get this one out…..A LOT OF PEOPLE have no idea about accessories and how much it completes the LOOK. DJ kills it again!!!
I use quarter socks for high tops. They still go above the shoe but not as much as crew. Crew socks make everyone's legs looks shorter and out of proportion.
I'll just say, for someone who has a variety of brands for my sneakers, I've been getting like different brand socks that do not really tie you down to only one brand of sneakers. For example, I've been rocking undefeated, stussy, etc for my socks for all my sneakers. Not just nike with nike, adidas with adidas, etc. It saves you from buying different socks for each brand of shoes you have! Just my advice!
I have my reasons for rocking mids. I’m short. I rock high top top but mids don’t make me look short like high top do. 😂 I appreciate you sharing your style preference.
i’m sayin .. high socks are for the fab 5 cuz that’s the last time it was ok .. don’t know why all these muppets now think it’s ok to wear tube socks now
I think that if you are wearing the white crew socks with the swoosh with j1's u should scrunch the sock and hide it in the shoe.It looks better in my opinion
I usually wear the same brands as Skechers 🧦 as Skechers 👟 and 🥾 match together. But, I now wear the Nike swim shirt 👕 I need to wear in the water park and beach. 🏝️
I remember when knee high tall tube socks were common & popular (1970 thru 1984 or so). The fabric was cool, breathable, stretchable acrylic elastic. To make more money, manufacturers changed the fabric to thick, tight, non-stretchy cotton with tight nylon elastic. The cost for the cotton fiber yarn was much less than the acrylic stretch nylon yarn, mo' money for the hosiery mills, so why not?. These socks when worn up tall were very uncomfortable & HOT all the time since they were so thick. Everybody stopped wearing this style because of this by 1989. The other reason was the preferred shorts length went to knee length or longer. This gave a home-boy ghetto gangsta kinda look that very few men liked when wearing tall socks. Tall socks still have their place with certain sports such as baseball, intramural sand lot baseball, football, soccer, rugby, and distance runner compression tall socks, etc… This is because of the extra protection given to the wearer. It's no fun to slide into home plate wearing quarter socks since you will always leave a streak of hair, skin, & blood on the slide area. This is followed by 10 days of antibiotics for the raging infection that follows, ouch, "pain!", no fun at all! What goes around comes around, so this style will come back eventually like all styles do. A welcome and surprisingly cool break when seen worn by young people on walking across campus or shopping at the mall these days. The standard gen-z or gen-x street clothes uniform with shorts & shwoosh logo crew socks is BORING and so-so--cliche. You say it doesn't matter, they're just socks. Okay, but we live in a world where everything matters, even this. So how about it, hosiery manufacturers? Start making tall sports socks with stretchy comfortable acrylic yarn again, and your sales will boom to accommodate the new trend. Not sure about all this, reader? Do a google search for the movie "Everybody Wants Some" set in 1980 about college baseball guys. Download & watch, or do a search for images. Tyler Hoechlin (a.k.a. Superman) looks pretty cool in his black striped tall socks. The other guys are dressed this way too. Try a pair for yourself if you can find acrylic elastic socks, and see if you like them (no cotton nylon please). Or take a look at the UA-cam video that Alec Benjamin put up titled "Water Fountain". Alec looked pretty good when he was younger & wore that style every day. Or take a look at Olympic athlete Mondo Duplantis doing his pole vault sport. The smooth fabric will slide more easily over the bar if he touches it with his legs when going over. This can make all the difference in whether you win that jump and a gold medal or not. And no, he does not wear that length sock for casual street wear, for work on the pole vault only. They still look good on him. Check it out. Distance runners report the recovery time after a nice long run is much less if tall compression socks were worn for the run, good idea. Why not?
Have you really had to explain yourself to someone because of the socks you were wearing? Idk man.... If somebody asking me about my socks, I'm just moving along hahaha Great vid though man, had some good laughs! Thanks as always!
Don’t see a problem with low top socks paired with high top shoes. It made your legs look longer therefore your whole body scale more golden and look taller. If this combination is a problem wtf are ppl wearing socks with sandals?
Only time I've ever worn Adidas socks with a Nike shoe was when it was my only clean pair and I had pants on that day so nobody knew but damn it felt wrong
For me, black or white Unbranded socks is a go. So that it does not choose shoe brands. Great vid man! Do also vid on what socks with different types of pants and sneakers 🔥🔥
It helps to have skinny legs 😅, I have pre thick calves and this whole crew cut sock scrunch with jordans just doesn't look good on me 🤣. Any tips or am I doomed?
Bro i think you're doomed. Im 6'1 212 and my calves and ankles are damn near the same size. Been that way my whole life even when I was skinnier, I've not found a solution to this problem yet besides just wear jeans lol
This is completey random, but today at school, after gym, i was waiting for a turn to change back to my clothes, and there was a toilet which had it's water very high, and i randomly decided to flush the toilet. Then, it overflowed into other stalls and somebody's beanie got wet with toilet water. Oops.
Interesting video but I do disagree--here in the NY city area and at the gym I always see high tops with a no sock look. It's way sexier because it shows off the legs better. My go to is 3/4 jogger shorts with high tops and no show socks. I think the high tops with high socks (especially WHITE) give too much a little boy look--just my opinion.
I agree with the whole video. Expect!!! Hey man I'm damn near 50. So I like my socks up every now and then. My theory on that. It looks funny and you like ole man sneaker game killing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Them high socks captures the attention. Good Vid
Older mids are fire bro , all the newer shit is mostly trash 🗑️ , tik tok kids think they doing something with those joints. Great video bro keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

We OG sneakerheads so we dont feed into the Mids/ Lows Hate
OG mentality 💪
I’m not a “look at my sock guy”. I rock the mids with the ankle socks. Makes me look taller. Just my preference I guess

If anyone questions you wearing low cut socks with Jordan highs, tell them to find something to do with their lives. They worry about a mans sock.💀

ankle socks with jordan 1 highs 😹💯
=menace
Just here to say the X one in the thumbnail looks bomb asf tho 🥺
Definitely scrunch the socks, that needed to be said💯
I been rocking the STANCE socks with my Jordan 1 high tops and low tops.
Great Video!!!
I mix in a little of this and that just depends on the shoe and fit
I rock the no show premiums with my OG highs. I like the no sock look. You just gotta walk slow, or they fall down lol
I’m the same I wear all my high tops with no show socks
Me personally I hate wearing socks with the Jump man or Nike Logo. I like plain solid colors
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and learned a lot! Thanks
I used to wear reebok socks with foamposites everything but the brand loyslty in this video was dope imo haha
just got my first pair of 1s. and im more of a shorts guy so i needed this video.
The Kirklands are shockingly good quality. They're even a tiny bit better than gold toes in some ways.
New to the shoes game. This sock vid sure helped .thanks
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

You make the fit, don't let the fit make you.
Full size run should invite you to their show. Keep doing what you’re doing man👍
lmfao when he said "look at my m&m's i lost it
basic socks are the best
Low socks with the mids is a good look imo
The high tops make my legs look chunky specially with a AJ1 high.. 😆. But this video makes me just wanna go buy white & black socks.
And what about Stance socks? Their basic ones are the best quality socks I've ever tried
I heard they were nice.
Stance socks are good socks
Wear what you want whenever you want. Merry Christmas 🎁
Might go buy a pack of the white nike crew socks after this. I always wear black socks, thinking of switching it up a bit.
I like the double stripe og socks for 1s , ones with Nike air are a plus
What a great idea for video. I’m 💯 % tuned in.!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great advice, socks are so important. The nikes are supposed to be the "star of the show", don't let goofy socks steel their thunder.
I don’t wear high socks with my Jordans but I will try to.. I don’t know way but for me is wired
white socks cant go wrong
fax
No socks better with Jordan’s
