Socks


It’s a mathematical fact.

Low-cut DC Comics logo socks are great for times when wearing knee-high superhero socks with capes might be a little over-the-top.

We have a thing for old school Nintendo and girls in knee high socks, so these are irresistible. Choose from 1UP and villains versions.

Hot Topic has opened up a virtual wing of their shop for merchandise available for pre-order for The Hunger Games. They of course have the standard t-shirts and tote bags emblazoned with a mockingjay or the motto of the games, “May the odds be ever in your favor,” but they also have some neat products. I like the jewelry designs (my mockingjay necklace is actually from Hot Topic back when they had merchandise from the books – I got it off a clearance rack) and items like the District 12 backpack. I wouldn’t necessarily carry it, but it’s a nice tie-in considering Katniss carries around an orange backpack in the arena. Speaking of the arena, Hot Topic is even offering a replica of Katniss’s bow.

The items have various ship dates so if you’re shopping for the movie premiere on 3/23 be sure to check the dates closely.

Check out photos of some of the cooler Hunger Games products Hot Topic is offering after the break.

The length of a skirt says a lot about a lady’s mood. Alternately, it could just mean she hasn’t done laundry in a while and the mini skirt is all that’s clean. These tights assume the former though. They come with a helpful guide for anyone looking. I don’t want to know if there’s a notch above “dangerous.”

If socks with capes isn’t your thing, perhaps you would prefer these TMNT ankle socks. You could wear them in identical pairs, but I say it’s best to mix and match them into two turtle teams.

These caped superhero socks bring me an enormous amount of joy. Choose from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman versions.

But that’s not all. 80s Tees also has smaller DC Comics socks and TMNT socks in stock! Check out more pics after the break.

In Portal, Long Fall Boots ensure that test subjects survive long falls. As we’ve seen in the past, it’s not so much to protect the subject as it is to keep the expensive objects the people have in their arms safe. These socks won’t keep you fully protected despite the fact that the design matches that of the boots, so don’t go jumping off tall buildings to test them.
