It’s a mathematical fact.

DC Comics Logo Socks

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.

Hot Topic Hunger Games Motherload Stretches From Socks To Replica Bows

Amy Ratcliffe — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:00:19 +0000

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.

Leggings Take You From “Demure” To “Dangerous”

Amy Ratcliffe — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:00:47 +0000

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.”

Teenage Mutant Ninja Ankle Socks

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.

Superhero Knee-High Socks With Capes…Seriously

Portal 2 Long Fall Socks

Amy Ratcliffe — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:00:00 +0000

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.
