Stance Partner With Barcelona For Limited Edition Sock Capsule

Sock specialists, Stance, have teamed up with Barcelona for a limited-edition collection that features a range of styles inspired by the iconic red-and-blue striped kit of the Catalan giants.

In half a decade, American brand Stance have revolutionised the world of socks, bringing the magic to the previously mundane and turning the overlooked bits of cloth that we wear under our sneakers, shoes and boots into one of the world's most exciting accessories. OK, maybe a slight exaggeration, but their products are pretty cool, offering yet another avenue for self-expression. Over the years they’ve teamed up with some of the biggest sporting licenses over the years, from the courts of the NBA, the MLB, and the NFL, so it was only a matter of time before they made their move into the world of football. And they’ve done so with one of the biggest clubs in the world: Barcelona.

Designed collaboratively by both parties, the Stance x Barcelona collection boasts three distinct styles that feature the club’s quintessential colours and crest alongside the FC Barcelona “Més que un club” [More than a club] motto, as well as drawing inspiration from the city’s reputation as a creative hotspot.

The socks boast Stance’s Infiknit™ technology, which never rips and never tears (and if it does, they've got your back), while targeted Cushioning adds to their comfort. Engineered Arch Support stabilises your swing in style, and a Seamless Toe Closure provides an anti-friction finish. And there was you thinking that these were just a pair of socks with a Barcelona badge on them. Shame on you.

The limited-edition FC Barcelona x Stance sock capsule is available to buy now from stance.eu.com
