Some people wear no shows.
For me, not trying to get some matchy matchy socks to go with my shoes and my fit.

95% of shoes look better with no show socks. I'm over these loud cats and their goof troop socks. LOLOLOL

 

[robin thicke]

Yall act like black crew socks dont exist

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

I wear my WTL X's often, these 11's will get the same treatment.

That how it should be. Wear ya' ****.

LOL man where have you been....i haven't seen you in here in a minute....the WTL brings everyone out! 

PRETTY MUCH. I WOULD STILL PAY IT. THE HYPE IS DEF REAL FOR ME ON THESE. WILL HAVE A PAIR WHETHER IT'S RETAIL OR RESALE.

Don't take much more than the most hyped shoe of the model to bring Cuz out of hiding.....

Yeah I don't touch those tall Nike Elite socks either. Most of the time I wear the Nike no show Hyper Elite socks or no show Nike Elite Dri-Fit socks.

for me it depends on what I have on, it's i'm in shorts mostly it's low quarters, I can't do the no shows they be rolling off my feet which is a7734 annoying, and if I have on pants then it's long songs normally the matchy matchy but you can't really see so meh

No show socks for life.

Crews/Elite for winter and basketball. Quarter socks in the spring and summer so you dont have that dreaded crew sock tan line.

Man I was born with a mid calf tan lol. I'm already pretty tan as is, but March through September I look like I have monkey feet when I wear sandals due to lacrosse and football lol.

I was never into the high crazy sock fad but I do like the way the elite socks look and feel with the XI model

First time breaking em out on-court

These things are like some coral reefs you see in Hawaii. Absolutely beautiful to look at but they'll destroy your feet in a heartbeat.

The 2 hotspots for me were the lateral shanks and the ankles. If you stick your hand in your shoe you can literally feel the lateral shanks. The only thing between your foot and that shank is a piece of nylon (I'm assuming) and your sock. That thing literally dug into my foot with every step, especially lateral movements.

The 2nd spot was the ankle area. More specifically the rubber dots. Because the shoe is so stiff in the midfoot area, it doesn't want to bend at all. So as you're transitioning to toe-off, your foot bends but the shoe wants to stay straight. My theory is that they realized heel lockdown was terrible after wear testing. Instead of making the shoe a little more flexible, they decided to just add some rubber grip to "grab" your ankle. The rubber dots ended up giving me a burning sensation on my skin. They did their job though, I guess.

To sum it up, they're stiff, the lateral shank killed my foot, and the heel lockdown feels awkward.

But man, I sure love how they look
