Product Insights
Adidas Originals' Lettuce-Trim White Ribbed Ankle Socks 3-Pack ($28) marry 1970s disco-era heritage with contemporary Gen Z style: the wavy cuff, invented by Stephen Burrows and revived by Marc Jacobs, reduces pressure and adds kinetic movement. The 95% polyester/4% spandex synthetic blend resists sagging, wicks sweat, and dries quickly, but lacks a silicone heel grip, relying on stretch and cuff friction to stay up, and Puma ankle socks are reported to outlast these. Preserve the lettuce edge with cold-water wash and air dry.

User notes poor durability of Adidas cotton-polyester socks
Adidas/hanes are just a cotton-polyster blend which fall apart after the fourth wash or so (tho I found their lifetime to be increased if I air dryed them instead of in the machine).
