“Racing is the best way to test production cars and victory is the best sales tool.”
– Jean Rédélé, Racing Pilot and Founder of Alpine
The Alpine A110 has been recreated for the modern era, but its original story began six decades ago with Jean Rédélé and the first A110 – and, évidemment, a lot of racing in the Alps (hence, the name Alpine) while eating baguettes au fromagge. Rédélé, also knew that lighter cars go faster, because the A110, although sometimes equipped with less powerful engines than its direct competitors, weighed about as much as a soufflé.
In its many versions throughout the 60’s and 70’s, it won almost every rally it competed in, including Monte Carlo Rally and was crowned the first World Rally champion in 1973. Couple that with a Le Mans win and it’s easy to understand why the A110 remains the stuff of folklore in France.
A glorious racing history stretching back over 60 years, that only received its coup de grâce by the introduction of the revolutionary mid-engined Lancia Stratos.

Once upon a time, there was Lancia, one of Italy’s greatest car manufacturers. Back then, before the Scooby’s and the Evo’s, lived the hero of our story, the Lancia Delta. And, like a character from a fantasy world, it suddenly went from quiet utilitarian to a Rally God. When it entered the WRC battlefield in its Martini war paint, it was so damn good that it made everything else look prehistoric in comparison, carelessly destroying competitors and leaving nothing but tread marks behind.
It won the WRC manufacturer’s title in its debut year in 87 and then went on to win 6 (six!) years in a row and becoming, to this day, the most successful rally car of all times. And, more than a quarter of a century after its introduction, the Integrale is still loved and respected, perhaps now even more than ever. Please come back, Lancia. We’ve missed you!

The Williams FW16 competed in the 1994 Formula One season and was raced by British driver Damon Hill to finish runner-up in the 1994 World Drivers Championship. Unfortunately it was also the car in which Ayrton Senna was killed during the third race of the 1994 season. This is our tribute to the greatest F1 driver of all time.The inspiration for the sock design comes from the Rothmans cigarettes sponsorship livery.

In 1991, Mazda became the first Japanese automaker – and only rotary-engine racer – to win the world’s most demanding endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In the end, it came down to the reliability of the Wankel rotary engine that made up for the lack of speed against the mighty Jaguar and Mercedes competitors.
The unique conditions that enabled this surprising victory – along with a crowd pleasing high-revving engine with F1-like noise – immediatelly elevated the 787B to racing legend status. The orange and green diamond Renown livery makes for a pretty cool looking pair of socks, even if you first had to google “wankel rotary engine” to get what all the fuss is about. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

The car that invented the hot hatch set a pretty high bar for all that came after it.
But its birth wasn’t easy…
The prototype was based on a Scirocco, with an EA827 engine with dual carburettors and a lowered and stiffened suspension. When this prototype was driven by Volkswagen’s Chief of Research, he objected to the harsh suspension and excessive noise from the intake system and declared the car “undriveable”. Nevertheless the VW Golf GTI team preservered and ended up assembling a truly special automobile.
Gunhild Liljequist was tasked with creating a set of features that would set the GTI’s interior apart from the normal Golf. Her contributions became car interior design legends: the bright Tartan plaid upholstery and the dimpled golf-ball-like gearshift knob, making this sock design sort of a no-brainer for us.
