Performance meets purpose

The lettering is knitted into the sock, not printed on it. A jacquard knit works each letter into the fabric with the yarn itself, so there is no print to crack or peel after months of training and washing. The knit is a regular sports weight, about 50 g a pair, with no towelling sole.

CATALYST runs up the back of each leg, from just below the cuff. The left sock carries PERFORMANCE on the top of the foot and the right sock carries PURPOSE. Stand with your feet together and the pair reads the studio line.

Two colourways, white with black lettering and black with white lettering. Size S fits EU shoe sizes 36 to 40, and size M fits 40 to 43. Like every drop, the socks are made once, in a single run.

How it is knitted

These are the charts the socks are knitted from. Each cell is one stitch, so the lettering is part of the fabric, not printed on top.
