Product Insights
Sock Affairs' NASA Rocket Socks are knit-in graphic socks made in Portugal from combed cotton that resists pilling, fading, and peeling while providing a silky feel and effective moisture wicking. The 80/17/3 blend with spandex ensures a wrinkle-free fit and reinforced heel/toe, but the socks are uncushioned and lightweight, a tradeoff offset by the smooth fabric. At $22 CAD, they offer better materials and Portuguese manufacturing than similar options, with care tips to extend longevity.
