I agree with the color of the sock matching the shoe, but for me the biggest detail is the sock liner. If the sock liner is black I'll go with black socks, if it's white I'll go with white socks. It's it's a colored, then it depends whether it's a dark or light colored sock liner.
Yup I agree with you fosho, I have all good socks, not matter what I do there always ends up having pilling in the sock liner, way easier 2 maintain IMO.. Can’t do the white pills in black Jordan 6 etc
I used to mix brands before I could work and make my own money so I don’t do that anymore but sometimes I guess it’s hard for some people to afford multiple things from the same brand so that’s why I don’t judge. Sometimes I do mix brands but not from direct competitor brands (Nike-Adidas)
Dude !!! I was doing this in the 80s AND the 90s, so glad it's come back around . I will say you are spot on by saying don't mix brands ...and always ALWAYS white socks with white sneaks and black socks with black sneaks Personal preference is never wear crews with lows , looks like your going for a game of tennis.. crews only for mids and sometime high tops
WOW GLAD TO SEE THIS INFO. JUST IN TIME BEFORE MY COMPANY TEAM LUNCH THIS DECEMBER 2021. ITS JUST 10 DAYS BEFORE OUR TEAM LUNCH. THANKS TO YOU FROM PHILIPPINES HERE
I tend to choose socks with inconspicuous branding so I don't worry about visible brand mismatching. As for quality, I love thicker socks, so I'd say it's worth spending few extra bucks for comfort!
Love this video and all the helpful tips. One of my favorite brands to wear when I’m not matching brands, is Stance! Some of the most comfortable and they have great designs.
I agree with you Eddie on where to not buy socks from , but Target has this brand called “goodfellow” their essential socks are pretty good quality. It’s thick and doesn’t fray after multiple washes
I think I understand what you mean with the brand mixing. So, the sock is a continuation of the shoe as far as you're concerned. It stands to reason that you would want a Nike sock with a Nike shoe just for a continuity sake.
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 TH-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?
Adidas joggers And Jordans Be me 😭😂 but I feel ya on that dress according I can mix brands b/c I’m broke but I still make it fly but I’m getting older to wear it does get to me now I’m finna pick up sum adidas shoes just for da joggers 😂
Teaching little Middle eastern and white kids who wear Yeezys ain’t don’t know how to dress ALL the black male style secrets lmaooooo I love this channel
Always rocked w the high socks but u gotta scrunch them up alittle bit. I hate them pulled all the way up. Been rocking w ankle socks alittle more this summer tho.
Duh you don't wear nike socks with yeezys but i wear adidas socks with yeezy. But you can wear nike socks with jays so idk why that would be a prob. I live in nike socks tho i have to wear the high nike socks. But i recently got into adidas and champion socks. But nike socks are always number 1
Can definitely agree with keeping them basic, I had bought a couple of stance socks with designs I thought looked cool, can pretty much only wear them with my basic vans because on anything else they take all the attention and look like there’s too much going on
I can't wait till fall THAT'S when you go on BEAST mode.... With the outfits and everything. My opinion. Keep up the good work always great content Eddie.
Strong video once again. I agree on all point except I will get creative with the colors/ patterns. I definitely dig Stance Socks and had recently picked up a couple pairs from Honor The Gift....Russ has something nice going with his brand.
He missing out. Stance got some dope pattern socks that you can kill a combo with kicks. Stance essential packs are my go to; rock with any brand shows as they only have the Stance logo
Crew socks are the GOAT...my current rotation: Macy's: White polo socks navy logo, Black Tommy socks little logo, White Tommy socks little logo. Stance: White NBA socks, Black NBA socks. Nike: White socks black logo, Black socks white logo Gray premium crew light gray stripe match my gray yeezys. Cream premium socks for my sesame v2s. White Adidas w black stripes for yeezy zebras...black adidas w white stripe for black and white ultraboosts and black core white v2s.
I just can’t do white or black I need socks with colors i like designs on my socks etc I’m from harlem i feel if you carry yourself right you can wear whatever lol
i start mixing brands the last couple months, no socks and shoes though, a t-shirt and a jacket or t-shirt and shoes yes, maybe it's bad, maybe it's not, first seemed weird to my but now i see no problem doing it
"I don't get cute with it" LOL. Best line of the video. I have team socks such as Warriors so that helps with Curry 6 Oakland or custom Warriors Vans I have. But otherwise lots of black and white crew socks, some grey and red now for Jordan
I know i've mixed brands solely because I didn't have a shoe by the brand and I was cringing doing it. Lol I felt uncomfortable. But I am good now. I totally agree with not mixing brands but sometimes its all you have.
recently started watching you man and I gotta say im loving it, youre so damn chill and cool it jus feels refreshing watching your videos. keep making them!
@@Eddiewinkicks yessir!! 10 pair pack of crews for around $10. Not better than Nike but definitely worth the price. Recommend white socks over black, the black tend to fade quicker and cotton get's rough quicker imo
I might be wrong, but I think you have to take consideration with the pants you are wearing too. Contrary to the video statement, I've seen a lot of people rocking their whole outfit with for an example black jogger / black cargo pants, black crew socks, and white / cream sneakers. For me it enhances the looks of the pants while also making the sneakers stand out more
@Eddie Win amazing video Bruh, now I know how to wear my crew socks🔥🔥🔥 btw how tall are you and what size do you wear them nike crew socks? They look kinda small because they don't reach the lower calf🤔
Agree on the not mixing brands unless it’s a fashion brand like polo, stussey, etc. I’m with you on the sock color but I do rock colorful socks with pants and sneakers. White socks with jeans (and white kicks ofc) is meh
I do tend to wear champion socks a lot and people have given me shit for wearing champion socks with Jordans or Nikes. I don’t see what the big deal is.
Here’s an updated version of this video for 2022 - th-cam.com/video/oHxI_AImX-Y/w-d-xo.html

I once got caught slippin wearing Nike socks with yeezys and my quick fix was to flip the top of the sock down a little to cover the Nike swoosh.
Freaking loser 😭

@@spicycalamari8891 it's not a big of a deal, it's just socks
Crew socks are huge where I live. People wear basic vans old skool with black Nike crew socks all the time
thats been a style since forever fool
honestly, no socks look way better with vans and shorts
I agree 100 percent. White Nike crew socks with white sneakers is my everyday.
“the sock guy” 😂😂
Absolutely correct.White socks and black socks that's all you need.

i wasn’t feeling the tie dye socks either, but they didn’t look too bad on foot with the shoes you were wearing
4:01 trigger warning
I remember in middle school I messed up my ankle in basketball had to wear a boot and would match my sock color with my fit 😂
Bruh I did the same thing 😭

Gotta go neutral then!

Macy's: White polo socks navy logo, Black Tommy socks little logo, White Tommy socks little logo.
Stance: White NBA socks, Black NBA socks.
Nike: White socks black logo, Black socks white logo
Gray premium crew light gray stripe match my gray yeezys. Cream premium socks for my sesame v2s.
White Adidas w black stripes for yeezy zebras...black adidas w white stripe for black and white ultraboosts and black core white v2s.
Also...more plain white premium crew socks (premium ones have grey toe and heel usually) for my all white sneakers or skate shoes.
I agree with not mixing brands. Tie dye socks are nice for woman.
I intentionally wear colored socks, but they’re brand neutral (Uniqlo) and I’m happy to say I can pull them off
Wow socks matters, i never thought it before the pairs of socks and shoes
Name of the jordan shoe on the Thumbnail plss🙏
Colored crew socks with like pants and a neutral colored outfit is kinda nice tho. It’s like the only splash of color. Kinda nice imo works well
I mustard up the nerve to cop the red pelicans Zion jersey with the matching red pelicans Nike elite socks. And have actually worn them together
for summer, really loving all-white runners with no-show or really low cut ankle socks
