HEEL TREAD HT-PASHA-ON-Socks

Vintage Porsche fabric for your feet.
Let’s face it. Car interiors have become dull. One look at the inside of a modern car and chances are you’ll be instantly bored.
But once upon a time, the good fellows at Stuttgart fought (and won) the battle against dull interiors with some pretty wild pattern and color options on their car seats.
One of the most notorious became known as the Porsche Pasha. Designed in the late 70’s and first released on the 928, it combines racing and disco-psychedelic genes, a pattern that evokes the movement of a checkered flag waving – come on… use your imagination!
We love the excess of it all and went a little crazy ourselves with the color combinations.
For the discerning Petrol Head. Nerdy but stylish.

Some say you can’t call yourself a true petrolhead if you’ve never owned an Alfa Romeo.
We wouldn’t go so far as saying that – though we certainly do understand the appeal – but we can all agree that it’s hard to think of a car maker that’s more intimately associated with motorsport than Alfa Romeo, a brand that practically established the sport that later became Formula 1 – and was also the starting place in the business for a young Enzo Ferrari.
Anyone who’s ever heard the noise of one of these old Alfa tuned engines, or one of the modern V6’s, has reason enough to never buy an electric car – we are firm believers of protecting ALL endangered species.
The Giulia GTA (“A” for Aleggerita) was a lightweight version of the Giulia GT production car from the 60’s and its track version quickly became a bit of a racing legend in touring car championships the world over.
The inspiration for the sock design is the triangular front grill with the round headlights with and added Quadrifoglio green to complement its Italian heritage.

“If God was a machine, it would definitely be an F40” – Enzo Ferrari *
The best Ferrari’s were always built with a particular purpose. The F40 was designed for speed and performance, a car specifically engineered to beat the Porsche 959. This meant that it that it would need to become the first production car to reach the mythical 200 mph mark – not to mention the, at the time unheard of, 0-62 mph time of 4.1s. To achieve its purpose, a 2.9L twin-turbo V8 putting out close to 500 hp was mounted in the back and extensive use of carbon, kevlar and magnesium made it race car light. It also probably didn’t hurt that the expression “true Ferrari” was commonly thrown around by the team that developed the F40.
It was also, from the very beginning, the last Ferrari to have Enzo’s touch. Both him and the team knew at the time that this would be the last Ferrari that “Il Commendatore” would ever personally sign off on.
No wonder then, that it turned out to be a “true Ferrari”.
Enzo Ferrari called this Jaguar “the most beautiful car ever made”. The iconic front air intake was the inspiration for this design. Simple, yet impossibly elegant.In British Racing Green, of course.

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.

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.

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.

It gave us the first BMW M3. It is by far the best looking 80’s sedan, it has the coolest stance and the coolest DTM paint job that made our life very very easy… Can you tell it’s one of our favorites?

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!
