2(X)IST Rolls Out the Much Needed No-Show Sock

True story, I was asking many of my guy friends where they buy those tiny little socks nobody can see when you are rocking your boat shoes, dress shoes, or hell, these days any shoe where you want to appear sock-less. Nearly half of them said they had to sneak into the women’s area to find some since men’s ‘peds’ are usually too bulky. Sad but true.

Luckily, 2(X)IST has launched a line of no-show-socks that are handsome and practical. These lightweight, durable and ultra-low profile socks are engineered to fit a man’s foot, and feature a square-cut design across the instep to ensure a fit that gives that “sockless” look.

Added bonus: the 2(X)IST No-Show Sock Collection includes a non-slip rubber grip at the heel.  This added feature virtually eliminates that awkward “fish, find and pull-up” routine we’ve all come to accept as a reality of a no-show sock.

We appreciate the thought they have put into the line rolling out three categories – Dress, Casual and Athletic – so we can have a choice for each occasion.

If you are new to the no-show-sock look, give it a shot. You won’t look like a nerd wearing black socks in the summer and when you come home, change at the gym or get ready to snuggle with your gal, the last thing you want to see is dirty feet.

The collection is available now at www.2XIST.com and retails for $10 – $15.

Athletes who make a mark on their sport almost always go on to create something off the court as well. After they leave a lasting legacy within their respective athletic venture, they look to have the same effect on culture. The most popular example is Michael Jordan and his Air Jordan shoe line. While he is the greatest basketball player of all time (no disrespect to Kobe or LeBron), his shoes have changed the world in so many ways that it's hard to quantify. But before MJ, you had Sergio Tacchini. While he was a legendary tennis star, he made a lasting impact on culture when he launched his self-titled brand. It started on the court and was worn by dozens of tennis legends from the 1970s to the 1990s, but it was also adopted by the British subculture "The Casuals" and hip-hop artists like LL Cool J and Nas. Since then, it went through some hard times before being acquired in 2019 and relaunched. The Sergio Tacchini SS25 drop heads back to its tennis roots, reminding everyone where it came from.

Zenith introduced a new Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar chronograph model. It has an 18-carat rose gold case and a black dial. This addition comes after the steel model came out earlier in 2024. The new materials and color difference change the appearance of the design.

At 38mm the watch showcases a configuration from El Primero's past. Not many people realize the high-frequency chronograph movement from Zenith had a triple calendar, besides the moon phase. In 1970, the company made 25 prototypes using the A386 case design.

Although Saucony has recently released its premium footwear line, that doesn’t mean the brand has lost touch with one of its favorite retailers. To celebrate the release of a new Triumph design, Saucony has partnered with Nordstrom for an exclusive sneaker that embodies the brand’s chic, modern, and classic style. Created by New York creator Alex Dymond, this new iteration stays true to the Triumph look while adding a few details that help it stand out from the rest. Along with a 30-second video, the new release introduces a global campaign that celebrates running together and the community the sport fosters. Under the name “Run As One,” the brand looks to establish itself as more than an athletic brand, but also as a point of connection for people to come together.
