HEEL TREAD HT-GTI Low Socks
8,00€
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.

We use seamless knitting to create a sock with no stitches.

From back when watching Formula One was like watching a soap opera – it had no lack of controversy, cheating, moral conflict, tragedy and more than a few plot twists. Michael Schumacher drove it like he stole it and ended up taking the Benetton B194 to his first of many, many Drivers’ Championship titles in 1994 – although the FW16 was able to secure the Constructors’ Championship for Renault-Williams that year.
For us it was the Benetton/Mild Seven gorgeous livery that sealed the deal – cigarettes might be bad for you but didn’t they use to make all the best liveries?
* a very special thanks to Wout Jonasse for this great design idea!

A rear-engine 4-wheel-drive mini rocket that was purposefully built to compete in the infamous Group B rally – with the likes of the Audi Quattro Sport, Peugeot 205 T16, Lancia Delta S4 and Ford RS200 – while still keeping some visual resemblance with its biological father, the MG Metro. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

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.

Heel Tread’s garage welcomes Hollywood royalty.
The Mustang Shelby GT500 is just one of those eternal machines – as if the “regular” Mustang wasn’t already one of the most instantly recognizable cars anywhere in the world.
Its pedigree goes beyond being arguably the most beautiful and extreme Mustang ever built. It’s also been immortalized twice in the silver screen and starred in some of the most spectacular car chases ever filmed – whether you’re a fan of the 1974 or 2000 version of the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. It has since become a pop icon known simply for it’s screen name, Eleanor.

A celebration of the amazing life of Ayrton Senna.
Ayrton, the racing driver, needs no introduction. King of Pole Position, King of Rain, without a doubt one of the greatest racers that ever lived. So many of today’s F1 fans can establish a direct connection between their first love for the sport and the brazillian. Many still wake up at odd hours to see distant races in the hope of getting a glimpse of what F1 was back then, the end of an era when man was still greater than machine and F1 driving was a pure experience.
Ayrton, the man, is beloved the world over for his honesty and passion for the sport and for life. A silent humanitarian who invested most of his fortune in the fight for social equality in Brazil, imposing only one condition – total secrecy (no, we’re not crying, you’re crying!). In a country that worships football like a religion and footballers like gods, Senna is not only the most beloved sportsman to ever come out of Brazil – he’s the most beloved person, the immortal embodiment of all that’s good about Brazil.
How lucky we are to have met you!

The Land Rover Defender is a true icon. The best 4x4xFar, remaining in production for almost 70 years until 2015. In the end it were the ever-tightening emissions regulations that closed the curtains… We cannot guarantee that our socks are emissions free, that’s really up to you. Also be advised that our socks are not expected to endure 70 years nor are recommended to walk on mud.
