At American Socks, we’ve always been surrounded by people who create. Friends who cook, tattoo, cut hair, paint, or spend weekends grilling with a beer in hand. They’re the ones who make life more interesting, and we started thinking: why not make something for them too?

Check out our Original Aprons!

Dog jumping for AMSSCKS aprons

That’s how the AMSSCKS aprons happened. We didn’t want the usual boring kitchen apron, the kind that hangs in a drawer and only comes out when you’re cooking pasta. We wanted something you’d actually want to wear. Something that feels like part of your style, whether you’re working in a tattoo studio, behind the stove, or outside at a BBQ.

We came up with two main cuts. The “traditional” apron is the one you know, good coverage, easy to throw on and get to work. The “sharp cut” apron is a bit more fitted, made with barbers and tattoo artists in mind. Then we had some fun and made themed versions like “Obey” and “Suuuper Fast Food,” which even come in a gift box with matching socks. Perfect if you’re looking for something original to give a friend who’s always cooking or sketching.

What we love most is seeing them in action. A tattoo artist with their tools in the pockets, someone painting a canvas without worrying about stains, or a friend grilling on a sunny afternoon. The aprons aren’t just practical, they’ve got personality. They’re made to move with you, get messy, and still look like they belong in your world.

So yeah, they started as an idea to give back to the people around us who make life better. And now they’re out there, part of the same creative energy that inspired them.

If you’ve ever spent time in a tattoo studio, you know it’s not the cleanest place on earth. There’s ink, coffee, machines buzzing, and sometimes a little green soap flying around. It’s part of the process, part of the art. That’s why having the right gear isn’t optional—it’s essential.

American socks traditional apron for tattoos

At American Socks, we’ve spent years hanging out in studios with friends who live and breathe tattooing. We’ve seen it all: old-school flash artists, fine-line pros, and those who mix styles just to keep things interesting. They all have one thing in common—they need an apron that actually works. Something durable, comfortable, and made for real studio life. OUR APRONS HERE

AMSSCKS Traditional Apron in use

That’s where our Traditional Apron comes in. Built from sturdy canvas with reinforced straps, it’s made to last through long sessions and endless setups. The fit’s adjustable, so you can move freely without stopping every ten minutes to fix it. It’s protective but never heavy, and it ages the right way—like your favorite pair of jeans.

AMSSCKS aprons used by artists

We kept the design simple: just enough pockets for your markers, razors, or phone, no unnecessary zippers or gimmicks. Clean. Functional. Ready for work.

AMSSCKS Apron in daily use

And yeah, it looks good too. The Traditional Apron carries that same American Socks attitude—minimal, timeless, and a little rebellious. We’ve seen them in shops across Europe and the US, some even personalized with patches or embroidery. It’s more than studio gear—it becomes part of your story.

So if you’re after a tattoo artist apron that’s made to handle the mess, match your vibe, and keep up with your grind, this is it. Whether you’re tattooing, sketching, or setting up for the next client, it’s built to move with you.

FW25 More than socks...

The world is loud, full of trends and copies. But we don’t follow the script, we at American Socks still believe in real creativity and real quality. We’re not here to be another NPC in someone else’s game. We play our own, set our own rules, and keep moving no matter what.

Call us misfits, punks, freaks—we’re fine with that. Because we’ll never be like you. Our stories are written in ink on skin and stitched into every pair of socks we make.

The FW25 Collection isn’t just another drop. It’s a manifesto. A reminder that you can roll while others walk, scream while others scroll, and create while others copy.

That energy runs through our Signature Socks, the backbone of everything we do, and our Mid High Socks, built for the everyday grind, skating, shows, and late nights with friends.

FW25 is about making a statement. About wearing something that feels like you, clothing that really stands out, not like everyone else. Because in the end, we are more than socks, we're a collective.

LOVE S*CKS
Valentine’s Day is back.With couples everywhere, parading their love, hand in hand, smothering everyone with affection... What you might not know is that this year, Kiddo’s not feeling it at all.Love...

Valentine’s Day is back.
With couples everywhere, parading their love, hand in hand, smothering everyone with affection...

What you might not know is that this year, Kiddo’s not feeling it at all.
Love didn’t exactly treat him right. A broken heart, bad timing, and just days before Valentine’s Day, he suddenly found himself alone. What used to be love and affection quickly turned into anger and frustration, making Valentine’s Day go from cute to completely unbearable. So Kiddo did what Kiddo does best.

Instead of staying quiet, he took it to the streets. Walking block by block, hanging anti-love posters and making his feelings as loud as possible. Romantic gestures don’t stand much of a chance right now, so if you ever locked your love on a bridge with a padlock and your names on it… don’t be surprised if it’s no longer there.

Can you blame him? For Kiddo, it’s just a way of dealing with heartbreak during a time of year that can feel like hell.

But this isn’t only about being mad at love.

Behind all that rage, there’s also empathy. Kiddo knows he’s not the only one spending Valentine’s Day alone, heartbroken or tired of pretending this date means happiness for everyone. He doesn’t want anyone feeling left out, that’s why he’s opening the door for everyone who needs to get it off their chest.

Click this broken heart 💔, share your worst heartbreak story, rant as much as you want, and let Kiddo enjoy a laugh or two while cooling down. And because we all deserve a little something during these dates, he’ll hook you up with a discount you can use on your next online purchase.

So if you’re single, dealing with a broken heart or simply done with Valentine’s clichés this year, don’t worry.
Kiddo’s got your back.

And if you’re backing him up, help make this Valentine’s Day a little funnier ;)

Cat Socks For Each Personality
If you’re a cat lover, chances are you have a habit of collecting everything with whiskers, little paws, or that “I didn’t do it” face. We won’t judge you: honestly,...

If you’re a cat lover, chances are you have a habit of collecting everything with whiskers, little paws, or that “I didn’t do it” face. We won’t judge you: honestly, who can resist those cute, fluffy, and funny little creatures? At American Socks, we feel the same weakness, which is why cat socks always sneak into our designs.

And, come to think of it… cats and socks have more in common than you’d think: they’re warm, make life more comfortable, and once you find the right one, you can't imagine your life without them. 

But just like felines, no sock is exactly the same. Every cat has its personality and quirks… and the same goes for our socks. Today, we present some of the different cat personalities you can find at American Socks. If any of these steal your heart, try clicking their photo and see where you can adopt them ;)

The Rebel Kitty – Evil Cat 

This is the cat who always gets its way. The one who knocks things over while looking you straight in the eye, clearly the ruler of the house. This mischievous design with a classic touch is perfect for those who know their cat isn’t bad… just full of character.

Ideal for owners of naughty kitties that always find a way to get their way, no matter what their humans say.

Radioactive Kitty – Radioactive 

If your cat gets a little too excited with catnip, this design will feel familiar. A psychedelic, intense, out-of-this-world kitty, paying homage to those wild feline moments. It’s also perfect for those cats that feel a little… alien. You know the ones with big, wide eyes, that have a permanent look of being mentally somewhere else. 

With these unique cat socks, you can accompany your kitty on their “feline adventures”… without leaving the house.


Cuddly Cat - Feline Hearts ❤️

These love-struck kitties are not only adorable but also have a style many would love to copy. With punk outfits and a design inspired by old-school tattoos, they’re a nod to those who appreciate detailed, classic aesthetics. Sweet, mischievous, and hypnotic, these socks will melt your heart.

Anti-Systemic Kitty – Hell No Kitty 😼

The evil twin of a famous sweet and gentle kitty, the complete opposite of our rebel feline. For owners who sometimes wonder if their cat is really a demon in disguise. Especially if your cat freezes at night, staring into a dark corner like it’s in the middle of a silent conversation with something (or someone... 👻) you definitely can’t see.

At American Socks, we love all our kitties equally, but some fit your style (and your cat) better than others. 

Whichever one is yours, there’s surely a pair of cute, fun, and comfortable cat socks that match you. Plus, your cat will probably love seeing you in them: after all, felines love being the center of attention and feeling like the king or queen of the house. 🐾

The Highlights of the 2026 Grammys in Alternative Music

The 2026 Grammys had a little bit of everything, but the most interesting moments happened away from the predictable pop hits. In rock, metal, and alternative, there was real movement, with artists who’ve been around a long time standing alongside those shaking up the scene.

Turnstile really stood out, winning Best Rock Album for Never Enough and Best Metal Performance for “Birds.” They also got nominations across rock, metal, and alternative in the same year, which had never happened before. They went up against big names like Deftones, Linkin Park, HAIM, and Yungblud. They’re not new, but 2026 made it clear nobody can ignore them anymore.

Yungblud left the night stronger too, winning Best Rock Performance for “Changes,” recorded at Ozzy Osbourne’s final UK show. He accepted the award with Sharon Osbourne and turned it into a tribute to Ozzy’s influence rather than a personal win.

In alternative music, The Cure finally got the recognition they deserved. “Alone” won Best Alternative Music Performance and Songs of a Lost World took Best Alternative Album, marking their first Grammys in nearly 50 years. The band wasn’t at the ceremony because they were at the funeral of Perry Bamonte, a longtime member who had recently passed. Robert Smith sent a short, sober speech that was read by another artist, making the wins feel like historical justice instead of hype.

A standout moment came during the tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, led by Post Malone with Chad Smith, Slash, Andrew Watt, and Duff McKagan. The performance felt heartfelt and honest rather than flashy, and the Osbourne family was clearly moved.

Still, the night left a bittersweet feeling. Rock and alternative categories were presented off-air, showing how the Academy sidelines these genres compared to pop and urban music. The Cure’s wins highlighted prestige and legacy over trends, quietly and almost apologetically. The 2026 Grammys didn’t change the system, but they reminded everyone that rock and alternative are respected while still being pushed to the margins, and for some of us, that feels personal.

Traditional Japanese icons and styles never fail to impress, with bold lines, flat colors, and motifs inspired by water, clouds, animals… Since these designs first appeared in Japanese textile art on kimonos, yukatas, and even ceramics, centuries ago, they’ve traveled the world, evolving and adapting. Today, we see them in clothing with Oriental inspiration, Japanese fashion accessories, tattoo styles… and yes, also in our Japanese socks! 😉

We know you, dear sock lovers, are into that vibe too, so today we’re bringing you a generous variety of options to carry a little piece of Japan on your feet! <3

Eternal – Signature

Kicking off with the latest season, we present the Eternal socks from our Signature collection: illustrated with a Japanese dragon and a spectacular tiger, combined with classic Eastern floral motifs. A pair of socks with a unique design in the wabori style (traditional Japanese tattoo style). Cool, eye-catching, and super comfortable!

👉 Bring wabori to your feet here

Cool socks with japanese tattoo style tiger and floral design on white background american socksHannya – Signature

Next up in the Signature line, these are not just for lovers of fashion trends in Japan, but also for fans of its culture. The Hannya socks feature the iconic mask of a demon from Nō theater, representing the spirit of a young woman consumed by jealousy and rage, transforming into a demon. A design for those who adore the history of Oriental art.

👉 Embrace the demon here

Bengala – Signature

We couldn’t close this selection without bringing some power, intensity, and edge. Enter the Bengala socks, a reinterpretation of Japanese style with bold, uncompromising illustrations, highlighting every muscle of the Bengal tiger and every scale of the snake wrapping around it. Vibrant reds and greens crank up the energy of the design, and the tiger’s grumpy expression makes it clear: this pair is not made to go unnoticed.

👉 Unleash the claws here

At the end of the day, it’s all about what you like. Think of it as.... a sock buffet! We give you options, and you decide, so... Which one are you choosing? ;)

New Collab with Donots!

Get ready to turn up the volume and get your feet in the pit, because we've teamed up with our friends from Germany, the legendary punk-rock band Donots, for an epic limited-edition collaboration!

What's up #Sockers!

Get ready to turn up the volume and get your feet in the pit, because we've teamed up with our friends from Germany, the legendary punk-rock band Donots, for an epic limited-edition collaboration!

Do you have lots of friends? Is that like somethin' that's still normal nowadays? We can't really say. 

What's true is that there are some friendships that just feel natural, and that’s exactly how it’s been with our dear friends The Donots. We’ve crossed paths so many times over the years, at festivals, backstage hangs, random nights out, that teaming up for a collab just felt right. When a band has been around since 1994, constantly putting out bangers and keeping their energy real, you know you’re dealing with legends, and legends always end up together. 

The timing couldn’t have been better. Last year, they invited us to their show in Munich, which was already huge for us, but on top of that, it was their birthday celebration, huge. If you’ve ever been to a Donots gig, you know it’s not just a concert, it’s a full-on Blast. Everyone’s singing, sweating, smiling, Punk incarnate to say the least; and the band is right there in the middle of it all with the crowd. We're proud to have celebrated with them, to have raised a glass, and be a part of that milestone moment.

Somewhere between the laughter, the booze, and the music, the idea of doing something special together turned into reality. The result is our Donots “Since 1994” mid high socks. They carry the band’s history and spirit, designed for fans who have been with them from the early days and/or for those who just discovered them last week. Just like their music, these socks are built to last and made to move, they carry on their spirit.

This isn’t just merch. It’s a piece of that night in Munich, of their journey, and of our friendship. Every time you put them on, you’re stepping into a story that’s been years in the making, music history in sock form 

From all of us at American Socks, happy birthday to Donots. Thanks for letting us be part of the ride. And for all of you out there, enjoy these socks that exemplify being real to yourself.

Aigth #Sockers, peace out.

We know how this goes. New year, new goals, and suddenly the gym shows up in your life stronger than ever. At first, it’s tough—you feel lazy, you’re out of the habit… but sometimes all you need is a small push. And today, we’re here to give you that push, starting with something almost no one thinks about.

Because yes, you’ve probably thought about buying a new tracksuit, stylish gym attire that motivates you, and a solid pair of sneakers. But be honest... Have you really stopped to think about your socks?

Man in streetwear performing handstand freeze at a skatepark american socks

Gym socks are often the most overlooked part of a training outfit, yet they are literally the foundation of every workout. Your feet carry you through every rep, every sprint, every jump, and every day you decide to show up and train. Wearing just any socks is not the same as wearing proper workout socks designed for performance.

Performance socks aren’t just there to cover your feet. They’re designed to help you train better—to keep you focused instead of distracted by friction, sweat, or discomfort. That’s exactly why our Signature collection exists: original athletic socks built to handle intense training without letting you down. Thanks to Coolmax® fabric, these moisture-wicking socks help sweat evaporate quickly, keeping your feet dry and comfortable even when your workout gets serious. Less moisture means less irritation, less odor, and fewer excuses to quit early 😉

Cushioning is another detail people rarely think about—until they need it. Cushioned gym socks with reinforced heels and toes absorb impact, reduce discomfort, and help prevent muscle fatigue. Add a touch of compression socks for the gym, and you get a secure fit with less friction, less movement inside your shoes, and fewer blisters. That’s real sock comfort for workouts. to start your gym journey without any fear 

And that’s exactly why our Signature collection is such a solid choice.
You can check what’s available right here and start your gym journey without second-guessing your gear.

And no, this isn’t just about the gym. These socks work just as well as gym socks for running, cross-training, group classes, or any activity that requires real movement. They’re not a minor accessory, they’re a core part of your performance. Choosing the right gym socks can be the difference between a smooth workout and one filled with discomfort, fatigue, or minor injuries.

The good news? You no longer have to choose between function and style. Today, you can train comfortably, stay dry, and protect your feet while wearing stylish gym socks that actually look good. Because feeling good in your training outfit matters, and sometimes motivation starts with the smallest details. Trust us: this one matters more than you think.

Ankle socks vs. no-show socks: comfort and style tips

What’s up #Sockers?! Ever notice how skaters almost always go for ankle-high socks instead of no-shows? It’s not random, and it’s definitely not just about looks. Spend enough time at a skatepark and you’ll see it everywhere, low shoes paired with socks that actually show. It’s one of those small details that says a lot without trying too hard.

American Pride - Ankle High short socks with two stripes classic American Socks old school striped White Color

Part of it is pure function. When you’re skating, your shoes rub, your board hits your ankles, and you’re constantly moving. Ankle socks give you just enough protection without feeling bulky or restrictive. No-show socks might look clean, but they slide down, bunch up, and honestly just get annoying after a few tricks. Skaters want gear that stays put and keeps up.

Then there’s the culture side of it. Skateboarding has always had its own uniform, even when it claims not to care about fashion. Visible socks, especially ones with stripes, graphics, or bold colors, are part of that language. They tie back to old skate videos, punk influences, and that DIY attitude where personal style matters. Showing your socks is just another way to say, “this is me.”

At American Socks, that’s something we’ve always connected with. We grew up around skate scenes where socks weren’t an afterthought, they were part of the fit. Our ankle-high socks are made to feel good on the board, stay in place, and still look right whether you’re skating all day or hanging out after. Comfortable, durable, and with designs that actually mean something.

So yeah, ankle socks aren’t just a trend, they’re a skate staple. They work, they last, and they let you bring a bit of personality into every session. Whether you’re learning your first ollie or rolling through the city with friends, sometimes the right socks make more sense than you think.

As the summer sun peaks and the festival season gets into full swing, Jera On Air stands out as one of Europe’s most electrifying punk and hardcore music festivals. Nestled in the picturesque Dutch countryside, this festival is a melting pot of the finest bands, passionate fans, and, this year, an exciting new participant—American Socks. Known for their retro-inspired, eco-friendly socks, American Socks is making waves with their vibrant pop-up store and an exclusive pair of socks designed just for the event.

The pop-up store, strategically located within the festival grounds, was more than just a retail space—it's an experience. Festival-goers can expect a dynamic setup adorned with colorful displays, music, and friendly staff ready to help them find the perfect pair of socks to complement their festival attire.

To commemorate the participation in Jera On Air, we designed a special edition pair of socks exclusively available at the festival. These socks encapsulate the spirit of Jera On Air with a design that echoes the festival’s edgy and vibrant atmosphere.

Limited in quantity, these exclusive socks are not just a stylish accessory but also a collector’s item. The design process involved close collaboration with the festival organizers to ensure the socks reflect the essence of Jera On Air, making them a perfect memento for fans

When Design Sparks Change: Our Collaboration with Arrels Fundació
There are footprints you can’t see, but they’re still there. In Barcelona, every day thousands of footsteps cross the streets. Some rush to work, others stroll without hurry, others are...

There are footprints you can’t see, but they’re still there.

In Barcelona, every day thousands of footsteps cross the streets. Some rush to work, others stroll without hurry, others are simply looking for a place to rest. But among all those steps, there are some almost no one stops to notice: those of the more than 1,300 people who live on the streets.

They also leave footprints. Footprints that travel kilometres in search of shelter, a bathroom, a hot meal. Footprints that endure the cold and exhaustion. Invisible footprints that deserve to be seen.

That’s where Pisadas Visibles was born, an initiative that turns an everyday gesture like putting on a pair of socks into an act of empathy. A project that brings together ROSAPARKS (a creative consultancy specialised in social impact), Arrels Fundació (which has been supporting homeless people in Barcelona since 1987), the illustrator Javirroyo and us, American Socks, with a simple but powerful idea: to shine a light on homelessness through design and solidarity.

A project that walks with purpose

The idea came up during a creative meeting driven by ROSAPARKS, where different NGOs and creative minds came together to explore new ways of communicating social causes. From that connection came the seed of what is now “Pisadas Visibles”: socks that don’t just keep you warm, but reveal what we often ignore – and they’re already available at the Arrels shop (C/ Ample 3, Barcelona).

From American Socks, we brought what we know how to do best: making urban-soul socks, sustainable and packed with meaning. We donated 300 pairs to be sold through Arrels and produced 200 more that will be distributed through our channels. All the money raised will go entirely to the foundation’s programmes.

Because every step, no matter how small it seems, can bring us closer to a more just, more aware, more human city.



Socks that warm, support and accompany

It may sound simple, but a sock can mean much more than we imagine.

For those living on the street, a clean pair of socks can be the difference between getting by or getting sick. It’s a barrier against the cold, protection from the pavement, a gesture of care.

We like to think that, in a way, a sock is also a small home. It wraps, protects and keeps you warm. It’s the minimum shelter that travels with your steps when there is no roof. And beyond the physical, it symbolises something deeper: support. Socks are made to hold your feet, to cushion the road. In this project, they become a symbolic support for those who walk without a fixed destination.

As Javirroyo, the illustrator, says:

“Socks are the second skin of those who live on the street.”

Their design, with simple lines but full of meaning, reflects that mix of resilience and vulnerability. For us at American Socks, collaborating on this initiative is not just about design or production; it’s a way of using what we love to take a real step towards change.

When design becomes activism

At American Socks we believe creativity can move mountains… or at least, move people’s conscience.

Our essence has always been tied to the streets: to freedom, expression and movement. But this time, those same streets remind us of another side: the people who live in them without a choice.

“Pisadas Visibles” turns design into a universal language. A pair of socks can be just a garment, yes, but it can also be a statement: the statement of not looking the other way, of understanding that every step counts, including the ones we take to get closer to others.

Each person who buys a pair of these socks is helping to fund real programmes for housing, social care and support. It’s a simple but powerful way to walk together.

Seeing the footprints others don’t see

This campaign is not about looking down, but about looking with empathy. Because behind every footprint there is a story, and behind every pair of socks, an opportunity to change something.

From American Socks, we feel proud to be part of this collaboration that brings together art, activism and social commitment. We want everyone who puts on these socks to remember that not every step leaves a visible mark, but every footprint matters.

We’d like to thank ROSAPARKS, Arrels Fundació and Javirroyo for trusting us and allowing an everyday gesture like putting on a pair of socks to become an act of care and visibility.

Behind every pair of socks there is a story walking. Stories that endure, that dream, that deserve to keep moving forward.

With “Pisadas Visibles”, we want those stories to be seen, heard and felt in every step.

Because we all leave footprints, but not all of them are seen.
And this initiative wants to make sure none of them stay in the shadows. Every pair counts.

Every trip we take turns into a bit of a walking disaster, and Warped Tour this year was exactly that in the best possible way. 

We landed in Florida, grabbed our rental car, and the first thing we did was stop at a gas station to buy nostalgic gas station snacks we used to eat years ago. With the car full of chips, candy, and way too many sodas, we drove straight to Orlando listening to loud punk-rock playlists and the AC fighting for its life. 

As soon as we reached the festival, we headed straight to the massive inflatable board where they show the lineup for the day. If you’ve been to Warped Tour, you know it’s huge and everyone crowds around it to see who plays when. We checked the bands we wanted to watch and then walked to the first stages.

We met up with our videomaker there and got ready to start one of our favorite things to do at festivals: give away socks. No plan, no script, just surprising people and seeing their reactions. People at Warped Tour never disappoint. One girl literally ran up to us asking where she could get the socks, completely out of breath. When we handed her a pair, she just stood there in shock. That moment alone made the whole trip worth it.

We didn’t stop with fans, we gave socks to bands too. Musicians, crew members, merch teams… everyone needs fresh socks when on tour, right?. Some put them on right away, some laughed, and others asked us where they could grab more. It felt good to spread that energy around and connecting with bands like 408, A Day to Remember, Less Than Jake, As It Is and Comeback Kid.

We also visited our friends at Keep A Breast Foundation. We filmed a small video with them for a special collaboration we’re doing together: a solidarity sock to support breast cancer awareness. It’s a project that means a lot to us, which we'll shortly announce on all our social media so you can become a part of the "I <3 boobies" team.

Later, we went around the vendor area which was crowded with vendors and met our friend Vinnie from Borndead Clothing. It had been a long time since we’d seen them, and catching up was amazing, like no time had passed. They’re still one of the realest and coolest brands out there. Go check them out and support what they are doing! 😎

What we realized is that ones lead others follow. We have been connected to the music scene for more than 12 years, building friendships, going to music festivals and we've always been the first sock brand to do that. Others may try to copycat, jump on the wave or recreate the vibe, but everyone will know who was really there from the start

Can't wait for Warped Tour 2026 😎

FW25 ソックス以上のもの...
世の中は騒々しく、トレンドや模倣で溢れています。しかし、我々American Socksは、型にはまったやり方にはこだわりません。真の創造性と真の品質を信じています。我々は、誰かのゲームに出てくるNPCの一人になるためにここにいるのではありません。我々は自らの手でゲームをし、自らのルールを定め、何があっても前進し続けます。 はみ出し者、パンク、変人と呼ばれても構いません。我々は決してあなたたちのようにはならないからです。我々の物語はインクで肌に刻まれ、我々が作るソックス一足一足に縫い付けられています。 FW25コレクションは、ただのドロップではありません。それはマニフェストです。他人が歩いている間に転がり、他人がスクロールしている間に叫ぶ、他人が真似している間に創造できるということを思い出させてくれるのです。 そのエネルギーは、我々のすべての活動のバックボーンであるシグネチャーと、日々の仕事、スケート、ショー、友人との深夜のために作られたミッドハイに流れています。 2025年秋冬コレクションは、何かを主張することです。自分らしさを感じさせる服、他の人とは違う、本当に目立つ服を着ること。だって、我々は単なるソックス以上の存在。我々は集団なのですから。

タトゥーアーティスト、理髪ショップ、バーベキューなどのためのオリジナルエプロン
American Socksでは、常に何かを作る人たちに囲まれてきました。料理をしたり、タトゥーを入れたり、ヘアカットをしたり、絵を描いたり、週末にビール片手にバーベキューをしたりする友人たち。彼らは人生をより面白くしてくれる存在です。そこで我々は、彼らのためにも何かを作ってみようと考えました。 当ショップのオリジナルエプロンをぜひご覧ください! こうしてAMSCKSのエプロンは誕生しました。引き出しに掛けておいて、パスタを調理するときだけ取り出すような、ありきたりの退屈なキッチンエプロンは作りたくありませんでした。着けたくなるような、本当に着たいと思えるエプロンを作りたかったのです。タトゥースタジオで作業するときも、コンロの後ろで作業するときも、バーベキューのときも、どんな時でも、まるで自分のスタイルの一部のように感じられるエプロンを。 2つの主なカットを考えました。 「トラディショナル」エプロンは、皆さんご存知の通り、しっかりカバーし、さっと羽織ってすぐに作業に取り掛かれるタイプです。 「シャープカット」エプロンは、より体にフィットするデザインで、理容師やタトゥーアーティストの方を念頭に置いて作られています。さらに、遊び心を加えて「Obey(オベイ)」や「Suuuper Fast Food(スーパーファストフード)」といったテーマバージョンも作りました。こちらは、お揃いのソックスが入ったギフトボックスも付いています。いつも料理やスケッチをしている友人に、何か特別な贈り物を探している方にぴったりです。 我々が一番好きなのは、エプロンが活躍する姿を見ることです。ポケットに道具を詰め込んだタトゥーアーティスト、汚れを気にせずキャンバスに絵を描く人、晴れた午後にバーベキューを楽しむ友人。エプロンは実用的であるだけでなく、個性も兼ね備えています。動きやすく、汚れても、あなたの世界に溶け込んでいるかのようです。 そうです、彼らは我々の周りの、人生をより良くしてくれる人々に恩返しをしたいというアイデアから始まったのです。そして今、彼らは、彼らにインスピレーションを与えたのと同じ創造的なエネルギーの一部となって、世に出て活動しています。

ゲームオーバー:2000年代を生きる
#Sockers の皆さん、調子はどう?流行遅れにならないものがあるって、もう気づいていますか?バギージーンズ、焼き付けたミックスCD、スケートパークでの夜更かし、ジャケットがかっこいいからという理由で映画をレンタルすること。それこそが、今回の撮影で我々が再び取り上げたかったクールな精神です。それは、いつの時代も変わることのないモットー、 「クラシックは決して流行遅れにならない」というものです。 撮影に二人の友人を招き入れ、堅苦しいポーズを取らせる代わりに、2000年代初頭の10代の頃にみんながやっていたことを再現してもらいました。壊れたスケートボードで縁石を滑ったり、安物のヘッドホンで大音量で音楽を聴いたり、どの映画を借りるかで口論するためだけにビデオ屋に行ったり。 当時と変わらず、衣装はシンプルにまとめられています。クラシックなストライプのソックス、無地のTシャツ、ゆったりとしたショーツなど、これらは常にシーンに欠かせないアイテムです。だからこそ、 AMSCKSのクラシックアイテムは重要なのです。 スケートセッションの後、仲間たちはその雰囲気を盛り上げるためにホーム路についた。ジャンクフードがそこら中に溢れ、コントローラーを手に、音楽を爆音で鳴らし、ディスクを飛ばし、ビデオゲームで悪口を言い合い、他に何も心配することはないかのように大笑い。まるで10代の頃のゴミみたいなエネルギー、あの頃をもう一度味わいたくてたまらなくなる。 それが今回の撮影のポイントです。 2000年代のカルチャーは、完璧な見た目ではなく、派手に生きることだったのです。ゆったりとしたフィット感、破れたスニーカー、一つの技に何時間も費やすこと、同じDVDを100回も観ること。このキャンペーンでは、そうした瞬間が決して我々の中に残っていないこと、そしてそのバイブスが今も生きていることを示したかったのです。 そう、クラシックは決して死なない。あなたと共に成長し、スタイルとは楽しむことだということを思い出させてくれる。AMSCKSは、スケートスポットで遊んだり、友達と過ごしたり、散らかったソファでくつろいだり、どんな時でもエネルギーが溢れ続けるようにお手伝いします。 街で会いましょう #Socker。
