A few weeks ago we got FEATured on an episode of Hard Knocks on HBO. Charles James, the cornerback on the Houston Texans (Now Baltimore Ravens), grabbed his pair of fun FEAT Socks in this clip.
Assorted Updates It was certainly a summer full of surprises and progress for everyone here at FEAT Socks. We started the summer with just 30 retailers, a home-made website and a team of just four. As of September; FEAT Socks can be found in over 60 retailers, we have launched a whole new website and our team has grown to 10 people including 6 sales reps, a full time designer, operations manager, creative director and marketing guru. This summer we attended the Agenda Trade Show in Long Beach, California and spoke with buyers from some of the nations premiere retailers. We are now gearing up for a huge fall and holiday push with new styles, inventory and in store displays. More updates...
We are all very excited to announce the first ever FEAT Socks Kickstarter launching very soon. We will be introducing 20 new styles for our crowd funding campaign. Get excited, tell your friends, new styles are just around the corner.
It has been interesting to see how much buzz there is around custom Nike socks but the fact of the matter is any printed/sublimated Nike socks fade, and end up looking pretty mediocre once washed. We started with custom nike elite socks but quickly moved away knowing we didn't feel right selling such a low quality print. Believe us, while custom printed Nike Elites look awesome at first glance, wash them once and the color will fade.
We are excited to announce our latest retailer of the week: Sartorius Sports in Avon, CT. Comprised of a skate shop, lax section and pretty much every other sport..we are confident that the local crowd will love the new socks! A big shout out to Chris Stephen and Nick Gilman for finding #featsocks
