I'm currently trying out the Nike Elite 2 layer high quarter performance cuts, but I've heard good things about the Underarmour Zagger Crew cut socks. Looking to possibly add a couple points to my pick-up game totals, and maybe a rebound or two if I'm lucky as well.

I'm really digging the Nike Elite 2s because of the added layer of thickness. I feel like the extra 0.3mm of cotton really gives me that support I need. The breath ability is great as well during these hot summer months.


Next thread will be: what do y'all prefer, horse or pig?

Looking forward to future threads

Normal Nike crew socks. Unless you are on some team where everyone has those, or you can drop 30+ per game, you look like a tool in my book.

I have some Elites in Centenary colors (maroom w/white accents) that I bought earlier this year while I was in Shreveport. Wear em when I'm playing tennis sometimes.

Can you even buy long tube socks anymore? You know, the ones with the stripes.

I were black crew cut Hanes. Good enough for MJ, good enough for me. I let my game do the talking, not my socks.

So is this accepted attire for your local country club courts? These are the Elite Crew Cut in Navy Blue (also Concord Blue; not pictured). I have a very similar pair which I wear with my older Lebron 8 V 2s.



I have definitely stepped my game up to another level with this set-up. The comfort, ergonomics, breathability, & protection is unrivaled IMO.

I find that when I wear the ankle socks they don't weigh me down as much. I'm not able to dunk unless I wear the ankle socks. Also the high socks pull my leg hair which leads me to shave my legs make me more aerodynamic as I cut through the lane and do an up and under.

I've been trying out this badass sock. You get them at Wal-Mart, they are white with grey on the heel, and they are about ankle high.

Um...country club courts? not sure what you mean

Also what I wear is not the sock in the pic you posted. I don't have them in navy blue like you probably do, just white socks with a Nike logo. No razzle dazzle on the back

Can you tell me more about what makes them badass? Have you noticed a significant boost in your standing vertical or breakaway speed?
