What's good with Nike Elite Basketbal Crew socks? (SOCKS FTW!)

[eastbayrep]

Thanks for helping with the catalog code, guys. I was able to locate the catalog with these socks and check on their availability, and it looks like we're getting a shipment on the 1st of December. They should be online closer to that date but you can order them by mail or phone right now.

No, they are not.

they got black/white and red/white elites on FNL.com now, just to let people know.

^ thanks man

i just copped 2 new pairs of white NBA crew socks, and looks like they beefed up the cushioning in these. Theres like an extra layer for your foot sorta like the elites, but it covers your whole foot oppose to certain areas like the elites.

Ima try em out on the court come thursday, ill keep yall posted on how these perform.

 

[jgh0st23]

Just was able to get some white/sky blue ones, the green ones, and the maroon ones. Can't wait to rock these.

 

[insanity peppers]

^ Money, looking forward to hearing how the updated NBA crews play.  Where did you get them? Eastbay?

 

[moneylicious]

I found them at my local champs. I had a few quarter ones layin around that I never wore, so I decided to exchange em for some crews haha.

But eastbay seems to have the best deal tho 2 for 18 oppose to 12 for one in stores.

I'll be back with the update Friday morning.

white/carolina blues...

The new NBA crews are much thicker and feel great on court. I dont think you can go wrong with either NBA or Elites socks. The NBA feels a little less breathable compared to Elites, but thats the only thing imo.

 

[waveyjoneslocker]

Got 4 black and 4 white pairs from Eastbay.

Glad I didn't kowtow to eBay's ridic prices.

 

[dro 44]

Just got 3 pair for 28 with my discount at ****'s Sporting Goods. Paid retail for the white/black 

 at HOH Detroit.

well i succumbed to the hype on these and bought a pair last week, used them already for balling and though i agree with you that you can't go wrong with NBA or Elite socks, i thought that the NBA ones had better breathability than the Elites

Do you have any pics of these "new" nba socks? Maybe inside out too to show the more cushion?

 

[moneylicious]

Nah..there isnt a big enough difference to show in pics.

Its not like the elites where you see the certain spots with extra cushion.

Its basically a thicker version of the old NBA socks, thus makin it less breathable compared to elites imo.

Another downside about NBA socks is that they lose its color quick. I've been wearing nothing but white crew socks as of late. The Elites and regular dri fit crews from Nike get dirty fast , but it still holds on to that white after multiple washes. Whereas the NBA's lose the white and start turning greyish

 

[andfattoo]

greyish??...... wow

 

[moneylicious]

^yah bro..you've never owned a pair of NBA socks??

I didnt expect that from you

 

[andfattoo]

i do........ i got pair in hand now. and i didnt expect them to turn greyish since mine hadn't after having them for a few years...lol

 

[moneylicious]

haha word? How do you wash em? Cause this happens to me and everyone that i know who owns a pair.

Hook it up with a pic and ill try to get a pic of mine lol

 

[moneylicious]

Alright here its is..you can sorta see that the new ones (left) are thicker than the older ones (right). And thats what i mean by grey

also, anybody rockin these..

wht/purple crew and wht/orange high quarter

 

[dneou20]

i have blacks in those nikes.... need to find those white/purples!

 

[kicks10123]

I need to find the white/carolina blue ones!..I need at least 4 pair!
