Aprons for Tattoo Artists

If you’ve ever spent time in a tattoo studio, you know it’s not the cleanest place on earth. There’s ink, coffee, machines buzzing, and sometimes a little green soap flying around. It’s part of the process, part of the art. That’s why having the right gear isn’t optional—it’s essential.

American socks traditional apron for tattoos

 

At American Socks, we’ve spent years hanging out in studios with friends who live and breathe tattooing. We’ve seen it all: old-school flash artists, fine-line pros, and those who mix styles just to keep things interesting. They all have one thing in common—they need an apron that actually works. Something durable, comfortable, and made for real studio life. OUR APRONS HERE

AMSSCKS Traditional Apron in use

That’s where our Traditional Apron comes in. Built from sturdy canvas with reinforced straps, it’s made to last through long sessions and endless setups. The fit’s adjustable, so you can move freely without stopping every ten minutes to fix it. It’s protective but never heavy, and it ages the right way—like your favorite pair of jeans.

AMSSCKS aprons used by artists

We kept the design simple: just enough pockets for your markers, razors, or phone, no unnecessary zippers or gimmicks. Clean. Functional. Ready for work.

AMSSCKS Apron in daily use

And yeah, it looks good too. The Traditional Apron carries that same American Socks attitude—minimal, timeless, and a little rebellious. We’ve seen them in shops across Europe and the US, some even personalized with patches or embroidery. It’s more than studio gear—it becomes part of your story.

So if you’re after a tattoo artist apron that’s made to handle the mess, match your vibe, and keep up with your grind, this is it. Whether you’re tattooing, sketching, or setting up for the next client, it’s built to move with you.

FW25 More than socks...

The world is loud, full of trends and copies. But we don’t follow the script, we at American Socks still believe in real creativity and real quality. We’re not here to be another NPC in someone else’s game. We play our own, set our own rules, and keep moving no matter what.

Call us misfits, punks, freaks—we’re fine with that. Because we’ll never be like you. Our stories are written in ink on skin and stitched into every pair of socks we make.

The FW25 Collection isn’t just another drop. It’s a manifesto. A reminder that you can roll while others walk, scream while others scroll, and create while others copy.

That energy runs through our Signature Socks, the backbone of everything we do, and our Mid High Socks, built for the everyday grind, skating, shows, and late nights with friends.

FW25 is about making a statement. About wearing something that feels like you, clothing that really stands out, not like everyone else. Because in the end, we are more than socks, we're a collective.

Thanks 4 Chord 2025!

We crammed the van full of boxes, coffee, and a questionable amount of gas station snacks, then hit the road to Pittsburgh for the Four Chord Music Festival. At some point someone swore they saw a raccoon riding shotgun in a passing truck, and honestly, by hour six of the drive, we weren’t even surprised. That’s how road trips to festivals go: a mix of exhaustion, inside jokes, and the kind of chaos you can’t plan for.

Four Chord has always been about pop punk, emo, and alternative music, and this year’s lineup was unreal. blink-182, AFI, Jimmy Eat World, Jawbreaker, Hot Mulligan, Bowling for Soup—basically a playlist of every band we ever had burned onto a scratched CD in the early 2000s. Just reading the flyer felt like a time machine.

Main Stage 4 Chords 2025 American Socks Four Chord Festival 2025 Stand

When we finally got to the football field where the fest happens, it was madness. Vans unloading, gear everywhere, vendors yelling for duct tape. We set up our booth in the middle of it all, banners flying, socks stacked, and the exclusive American Socks x Four Chord collab front and center. Before long, people were streaming in. Some made a beeline for the collab pair, others just wandered up curious about why socks were getting so much attention at a punk festival in Pittsburgh. But that’s the thing—our socks have always been part of the lifestyle, and seeing people leave with them (grinning and holding them up like trophies) felt right.

AMSSCKS Stand in the esplanade American Socks Four Chord Festival 2025 Stand

The scene around us was just as fun. Dixon Flannel and Borndead were close by, so between waves of people we hung out, cracked jokes, and shared snacks like it was a family reunion. Someone even tried to trade a hot dog for a pair of socks. Not gonna lie, we thought about it.

Fan American Socks Pittsburgh 2025 Four chord 11American Socks 4 chords 2025 Fan

And of course, we couldn’t just stay stuck at the booth. AFI had everyone swaying in darker vibes, Jimmy Eat World turned the entire field into one giant singalong, and when blink-182 closed the night, it was pure chaos. Fireworks exploding, strangers screaming “All The Small Things” into each other’s faces, one guy crowd-surfing with a pizza box. No idea how he pulled that off.

Back at our booth, we kept things wacky with giveaways. Our “hide and sock” game had people hunting around EQT Park like it was punk rock Pokémon Go. Toss a pair into the crowd, hide one near the bleachers, suddenly there’s a swarm of fans laughing, snapping selfies, and walking away with free socks. It made our little corner of the festival feel like its own side show.

American Socks Four Chord Festival 2025 Stand

By the end of it all, we were wiped out, voices hoarse, ears still ringing. Packing up felt like playing Tetris with boxes and leftover snacks, but we managed. The van ride back was a blur of bad singing, festival stories, and brainstorming where to take the American Socks tour next.

Four Chord Festival reminded us why this scene matters. Music, chaos, community, and yeah—punk rock socks right in the middle of it. We left tired but stoked, and ready for whatever comes next. Thanks 4 Chord, that was a truly amazing experience!

And now a photo dump with people that took a pic at the stand.

4 CHORDS WE'RE COMING 4 U

Four chords, a basement, and some friends who just wanted to play louder than their parents could handle. That’s how punk rock has always felt. Simple, messy, and full of energy. Fast forward and those same chords are now filling up big stages, pulling thousands of us together just to scream along to the songs that shaped our lives.

This September, that energy lands in Pittsburgh. Four Chord Fest is happening September 13 and 14 at EQT Park, and it’s basically a two-day love letter to punk. blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, Jawbreaker, Alkaline Trio, Hot Mulligan and a long list of others will be tearing it up. If you’ve been around the scene, you know how big this is.

For us at American Socks, it’s more than just another stop. We’re officially teaming up with Four Chord Fest this year, and together we cooked up an exclusive pair of socks you’ll only find at the event. It’s something that came straight from the heart, made for the community that raised us. You’ll be able to grab them at our stand or the official merch booth, but once the festival ends, they’re gone.

We’re also keeping it playful with our “hide and sock” game both mornings. We’ll stash a few pairs around EQT Park before the gates open. Show up early, keep your eyes open, and you might just score one for free.

Four Chord has always been about more than bands. It’s about giving our little corner of music a place to feel big, to meet old friends, to make new ones, and to walk away with your ears ringing in the best way. If you’re in Pittsburgh, this is the weekend to be there. Come hang, say hi at the stand, and share this moment with us.

Ink Meets Socks: A Barcelona collab

Barcelona isn’t just a city, it’s a whole mood. Between legendary skate spots, street art on every corner, and underground culture buzzing around MACBA, something real is always happening. That’s exactly where our latest collab took root.

We teamed up with Bobby, a Barcelona tattoo artist who’s keeping it raw and old school. No tablets, no shortcuts, just flash sheets and ink. Every design is hand-drawn, straight from paper to skin, the way tattooing started and the way it’s meant to be.

Bobby’s style hits heavy. Thick black lines, bold imagery, and symbolism that’s as timeless as it is rebellious. Skulls, roses, chains, demons, third eyes 👁️… it’s the kind of tattoo flash that feels alive even before the needle touches skin.

The collab came together right by MACBA, the heart of Barcelona skate culture and a meeting point for skaters, artists, and outsiders from all over the world. It’s not just a spot, it’s a symbol of freedom and creativity, which made it the perfect backdrop for mixing tattoos & socks.

This project is about more than just designs. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, DIY energy, and the underground scenes that inspire us every day. From Bobby’s flash sheets to our #AMSSCKS collab pieces, it’s all fueled by passion for culture and community.

And trust us, this is only the beginning.

Sockers, out.

What's up #Sockers!

Get ready to turn up the volume and get your feet in the pit, because we've teamed up with our friends from Germany, the legendary punk-rock band Donots, for an epic limited-edition collaboration!

Do you have lots of friends? Is that like somethin' that's still normal nowadays? We can't really say. 

What's true is that there are some friendships that just feel natural, and that’s exactly how it’s been with our dear friends The Donots. We’ve crossed paths so many times over the years, at festivals, backstage hangs, random nights out, that teaming up for a collab just felt right. When a band has been around since 1994, constantly putting out bangers and keeping their energy real, you know you’re dealing with legends, and legends always end up together. 

The timing couldn’t have been better. Last year, they invited us to their show in Munich, which was already huge for us, but on top of that, it was their birthday celebration, huge. If you’ve ever been to a Donots gig, you know it’s not just a concert, it’s a full-on Blast. Everyone’s singing, sweating, smiling, Punk incarnate to say the least; and the band is right there in the middle of it all with the crowd. We're proud to have celebrated with them, to have raised a glass, and be a part of that milestone moment.

Somewhere between the laughter, the booze, and the music, the idea of doing something special together turned into reality. The result is our Donots “Since 1994” mid high socks. They carry the band’s history and spirit, designed for fans who have been with them from the early days and/or for those who just discovered them last week. Just like their music, these socks are built to last and made to move, they carry on their spirit.

This isn’t just merch. It’s a piece of that night in Munich, of their journey, and of our friendship. Every time you put them on, you’re stepping into a story that’s been years in the making, music history in sock form 

From all of us at American Socks, happy birthday to Donots. Thanks for letting us be part of the ride. And for all of you out there, enjoy these socks that exemplify being real to yourself.

Aigth #Sockers, peace out.

Our Teams On the Road: Festivals, Music, and Good Times

This summer has been wild for us. While most people pack for one or two festivals, we’ve had more than five teams on the road, crisscrossing Europe and the US, setting up booths, selling socks, and soaking in the music. From Slam Dunk to Hellfest, Rock am Ring to Punk in the Park, our crew has been everywhere, working hard and living the festival life.

If you’ve been to any of these events, you’ve probably seen them. Sometimes they’re all rocking the same American Socks t-shirt, like at Rock am Ring, looking like the most stylish team on tour. Other times, they’re just blending into the crowd, dancing to bands after a long day behind the booth. Rock for People in the Czech Republic, Nova Rock in Austria, Mystic Festival in Poland, Greenfield in Switzerland, Impericon in Leipzig, the list goes on. And yes, even when we lose track of exactly which Slam Dunk stop we’re at (England? Italy?), the vibes are always the same: good people, good music, and socks flying off the shelves.

Life on the road isn’t always easy. Some days the booth feels like a sauna, other days the rain turns everything into a mud bath. But our teams don’t mind. They’re fueled by Monster, the occasional beer, and the energy of being surrounded by the scene we love. Shifts are long, but there’s always time to sneak off and catch a set when customers give them a break. That’s the balance. Work hard, play hard, and never miss out on the music.

What makes us proud is how much heart our teams put into it. They’re not just selling socks, they’re connecting with people, sharing laughs, and making sure every stand looks like a little piece of American Socks energy dropped into the middle of the festival. Every sweaty, muddy, sunburnt, or rain-soaked day is worth it, because being part of this culture means showing up no matter what.

So here’s to the crew. To the road warriors who’ve made every festival a little brighter (and a little comfier for everyone’s feet). If you spot them at the next show, say hi. They’ll probably be tired, but trust us, they’re having the time of their lives.

Resurrection Festival is a special one for us because it’s where everything started. Our very first festival stand happened there, and back then it was just a table with five pairs of socks. No big setup, no party, just us hoping people would check them out. Now it’s completely different. We’ve got a huge stand, a proper spot at the festival, and every night it turns into a little party of its own.

american socks resurrection festival collaboration socks

Resurrection has always been one of the best festivals of the season. People who go there are super passionate, and it shows. Every year, socks become part of the festival routine. It’s kind of a tradition now that people load up on them, whether it’s a single pair or a whole bag to take home.

american socks resurrection festival collaboration socks

Another thing that’s become tradition is our after-party. It’s not official, but once the day is over, we put on 90s hits like La Macarena, Backstreet Boys or Britney Spears, and everyone just dances around. After hours of heavy music, it feels good to just let go and have fun with something a bit silly.

american socks resurrection festival collaboration socks

This year we also wanted to do something special. Since the festival happens in Viveiro, Galicia, we designed a pair of socks inspired by the Galician Kraken. The sea and its legends are a big part of this place, and it felt right to bring that into the collab.

Resurrection has been part of our story from the very beginning, and it’s always going to feel like home.

Bludfest was a first for us and honestly, we didn’t know exactly what to expect. Yungblud started this festival because he’s sick of seeing ticket prices go through the roof. He’s been pretty vocal about it, saying how festivals charging £800 are ridiculous. Bludfest is his answer to that. Affordable tickets, loads of bands, and a space that actually feels like it belongs to the people who go.

american socks skate ramp bludfest

We set up our spot right next to the skate ramp, which ended up being perfect. All day long skaters were hanging out, pulling tricks, falling, getting back up, and just keeping the energy alive. It didn’t feel like a brand activation or any of that, it just felt like being part of the hangout.

bludfest american socks collaboration 2025

For Bludfest we made a special pair of socks, super limited, only for this event. The best part? We actually managed to give a pair straight to Yungblud himself. He was cruising around the festival on a golf cart, checking in on everyone, making sure things were running smooth. We handed him the socks mid-drive, quick exchange, but one of those moments you don’t forget.

american socks skate ramp competition bludfest

The collab socks didn’t last long. People spotted them and within two hours they were gone. Our little corner turned into a mini meeting point, with people chilling, waiting, talking about the shows.

And the shows… stacked lineup. Chase Atlantic, Denzel Curry, blackbear, Rachel Chinouriri, Peach PRC, jxdn and more. Each set brought its own vibe, keeping things moving all day. Then Yungblud closed it out with that chaotic, high-energy performance he’s known for. By the time he finished, the whole place felt like it had been through something together.

ROCK IM PARK, ROCK AM RING AND NOVA ROCK🔥

American Socks is on a mission across Europe, and we’re doing it loud, proud, and with our socks pulled way up. This past week we’ve landed at Rock im Park, Rock am Ring, and Nova Rock, three iconic festivals, three insane crowds, and one unstoppable crew ready to bring the full force of the American Socks attitude. Festival season is officially in overdrive, and we’re here to live every second of it with you.

Rock im Park (Nürnberg, Germany)
Back in Nürnberg and it feels like home... if home had thunderous guitars, muddy fields, and 70,000 rockers jumping in sync. Rock im Park has always been a wild stop, and this year it’s wilder than ever. We’ve set up our booth right in the thick of it, with the freshest sock drops, exclusive gear, and a crew ready to chat, dance, and hook you up between sets. From sunrise to stage lights, we’re here for the full experience. If you're in the pit and your feet are still dry and looking fire, yeah, that's on us.

Rock im Park 2025 - 06/06/2025 (3 días) - Nürnberg - Zeppelinfeld - Alemania

Rock am Ring (Nürburgring, Germany)
Just when you think it can’t get any louder... boom! Rock am Ring hits. Nürburgring is shaking, the stages are exploding with sound, and the energy is on another level. This festival is pure history in the making, and being part of it with our socks on the feet of die-hard fans, bands, and roadies is something we’ll never get tired of. We’ve met legends here. If you’re rolling through the crowd and spot that flash of bold stripes or skulls in the air, chances are you’re looking at a pair of American Socks mid-crowdsurf.

Rock am Ring 2025 - 06/06/2025 (3 días) - Nürburg - Nürburgring - Alemania

Nova Rock (Nickelsdorf, Austria)
Then there’s the Austrian beast. Four days of non-stop noise, beer showers, dust storms, and some of the most dedicated fans we’ve ever met. The view from our booth? Endless fields of movement, mayhem, and music. We brought the heat with our wildest designs yet and they’re flying off the shelves. Everyone here’s got a story and most of them end with losing their voice and gaining a killer pair of socks. This is what festival dreams look like: epic lineups, outrageous outfits, good vibes everywhere, and a booth full of rebels like you.

Nova Rock 2025 - Cartel, Entradas y Horarios

These aren’t just events: they’re moments we live for. Every shout, every laugh, every muddy footprint on our rug at the booth adds to the story.

So here’s to the moshers, the stage divers, the campers who haven’t slept in two days, and everyone who came by to say hi. This week belongs to you.
The tour continues.

The American Socks World Tour 2025 is officially on the road and trust us, it’s not just a tour, it’s a movement. This year we’re going all in, hitting up the biggest festivals, wildest skateparks, loudest venues and cities that breathe the same rebellious energy we live for. We’ve packed our bags with fresh socks, exclusive drops, good vibes, and absolutely zero chill. The booth is more than just a place to shop, it’s where stories begin, friendships form, and legends are made.

From the dusty madness of FISE Montpellier to the screaming crowds of Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany, every stop has been next-level. We’ve sold out faster than ever, danced until the sun came up, and connected with a global tribe of misfits, punks, artists, and skaters who wear their socks as a statement. And we’re not slowing down. We’ve got some surprises in store that might just break the internet...

This tour isn’t about just showing up. It’s about showing out. Bringing the energy and building a community. Spreading the message that style has no rules, comfort can look badass, and that socks can be the loudest part of your outfit. We’re here to leave a mark, one step at a time. So wherever you are in the world, keep your eyes open because the American Socks van might just roll through your city next. And when it does, you’ll feel it.

This is American Socks World Tour 2025.

This year's Slam Dunk Festival was everything we could’ve asked for. Loud. Sweaty. Ridiculous in the best way.

We set up shop in both Hatfield and Leeds, and from the moment the gates opened, it was mayhem. The good kind. Thousands of people running to the main stage, drinks in hand, eyeliner smudged, ready to scream their lungs out. And we were right in the middle of it with socks, stickers, laughs, and no voice left by Sunday night.

This year’s lineup was stacked. A Day To Remember, Neck Deep, Electric Callboy, The Used, Finch, Hot Milk, Wargasm, Alkaline Trio, Less Than Jake... just hit after hit, stage after stage. If you didn’t lose your voice, were you really there?

Slam Dunk Festival South 2025 - 24/05/2025 - Hatfield - Reino Unido

We dropped a limited edition collab just for the fest. Loud colors, bold attitude, built for jumping, dancing, surviving the pit. People were loving them. Some literally changed into their new socks right in front of us because they couldn’t wait. That kind of energy? We live for it.

Of course, the Slam Dunk collab wasn’t the only thing flying. Our stand was packed with people picking up Kaiju Kings, Ghostbusters, all-time favorites, and a few sneaky new designs we brought along.

But honestly, more than the sales or the product drops, what stuck with us was the atmosphere. Slam Dunk isn’t just about music: it’s about people. You bump into familiar faces from last year, meet new ones, connect over shared band obsessions, and suddenly you and a stranger are both wearing the same socks across the circle pit. It just happens, and it’s amazing.

We got to talk to fans, bands, photographers, and loads of new folks discovering American Socks for the first time. The conversations, the laughs, the stories... they’re what really make these weekends special.

So if you came by, said hi, grabbed a pair, snapped a photo, or just screamed next to us during a breakdown, thank you. You made Slam Dunk 2025 what it was.

We’ll be back.

This last March, American Socks landed at RUMBLExJAG 2025, the festival shaking the foundations of punk and rock at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname. And we didn’t come empty-handed: we brought an exclusive collab that lit the place up.

RUMBLE×JAG 2025 – Northern19 Official Web Site

Inspired by the festival’s bold lightning logo, we designed a pair of red socks that captured their rebellious energy. Available only at our booth, they quickly became the must-have accessory of the weekend.

The lineup brought serious voltage to the stage, with performances from Crossfaith, 10-FEET, BRAHMAN, Ken Yokoyama, Paledusk, and many more. Each band delivered raw power and unique energy, creating a weekend to remember.

Our booth was more than just a place to shop, it became a hangout spot for fans of rock and alternative fashion. Beyond the exclusive collab, sockers had the chance to explore more of what American Socks is all about and take home a piece of the brand.

We couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. The passion and excitement from the crowd blew us away. Japan, we’ll be back.

AS X TRIANGLE FESTIVAL: Rock, Sand & a Sold Out 🏖️

Japan continues to surprise us. this time with a rock festival on the beach. This year, American Socks packed up and flew halfway across the world to join Triangle Festival 2025 in Fukuoka. One of the most exciting events in Japan’s rock, metal, and punk scene, Triangle stands out not just for its lineup, but for its setting: sun, sea, and mosh pits in the sand.

Held from April 26th to 29th at Jigyohama Beach in the Fukuoka Seaside Momochi Park, the festival offered a unique scene where live rock music meets the ocean breeze. It’s not every day you get to enjoy both things at the same time.

TRIANGLE 2025" will be held at Fukuoka Seaside Momochi Seaside Park for 3  days on April 26, 27, and 29 next year! The first performing artists  include SiM, coldrain, BLUE ENCOUNT, and SHANK! - Toky Tunes

The lineup was intense, featuring acts like 10-FEET, HEY-SMITH, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, BRAHMAN, ROTTENGRAFFTY, SiM, coldrain, BLUE ENCOUNT, SHANK, and more. The energy didn’t dip for a second: 3 days full of music, sweat, and crowd surfers under the sun. Fukuoka stole a piece of our heart. There’s nothing quite like a weekend of loud music and sandy feet.

We knew an event like this called for something special, so we released an exclusive collaboration with Triangle Festival: a limited-edition pair of socks, which we sold out in record time.

Our team was in full festival mode between gigs, sand, and highly questionable hydration levels, we handed out stickers like there was no tomorrow and made sure everyone knew: socks carried the spirit of the festival. You come here to sweat, jump, and lose your voice, always in style.

If you missed it this year, you know what to do next time. We might bring back those limited-edition socks!

Petit Brabancon might be a new name to some, but their lineup is straight-up legendary. We’re talking Kyo from DIR EN GREY, Yukihiro from L’Arc-en-Ciel, Miya from MUCC, Antz from Tokyo Shoegazer, and Hirofumi Takamatsu from The Novembers. These guys know a thing or two about heavy riffs, raw emotion, and pushing boundaries. Their sound is a wild mix of heavy metal, hardcore punk, nu metal: super intense, experimental, and 100% fire.

To celebrate their upcoming “CROSS COUNTER -02-” tour, we’ve teamed up to create something special: the “Mad Dog” socks. This limited edition design captures the wild energy of Petit Brabancon, made for fans who want to wear that same attitude from head to toe. But here’s the catch... you’ll only find these socks in two places: our store in Koenji, Tokyo, and at the tour concerts. So if you’re in Japan this September, you know what to do.

If you’ve never been to a Petit Brabancon show, le us tell you something: it’s intense. Loud. Relentless. The kind of gig where you leave sweaty, exhausted, but absolutely buzzing. Heavy riffs, insane drums, and a stage presence that’ll blow you away.

And if you’re around Tokyo, make sure to swing by our Koenji store. Whether you’re hunting for the “Mad Dog” socks or just want to dive into the American Socks universe, we’ll be there.

This collab is a celebration of music, attitude, and self-expression.
Petit Brabancon brings the heat and we bring the style. See you at the shows.

If you’ve been following American Socks for a while, you’ve probably seen Ankor rocking our socks on stage, backstage, in random selfies… They’ve been with us since the early days. Supporting, vibing and showing up.

ANKOR OFFICIAL SITE

For us, they’re part of our story. So yeah, teaming up for a collab was bound to happen: two projects with the same energy doing something cool together.

Ankor is that perfect mix: they bring heavy riffs, catchy hooks, metalcore vibes with EDM touches, but also a fun, laid-back attitude that makes every live show feel like a party. They can hit you with a breakdown and two minutes later have you singing at the top of your lungs. That balance is exactly what we wanted to capture in this collab.

These socks carry their powerful sound and good vibes in every single stitch. Designed to be bold, to stand out, and to be worn with the same confidence Ankor brings on stage. Plus, of course, comfy as hell (we wouldn’t have it any other way).

But here’s the deal: These socks are tour exclusive. You’ll only find them at Ankor’s shows during their 2024-2025 tour. Limited edition, no restocks. So if you’re planning to catch them live (and honestly, you should), this is your chance to bring home a piece of that energy.

Ankor’s journey is inspiring. From Tarragona to playing massive festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Resurrection Fest… They’ve done it their way, evolving their sound, staying true to themselves. And that’s something we totally relate to.

This collab is about celebrating a connection. About giving back to a friendship that’s been there since day one Because we’re all here for the same reason: Loud music, good people, and wearing cool socks.

THE BABOON SHOW: Radio Rebelde in Sock Form 📻

At American Socks, we love teaming up with people who bring the same fire we do. We're talking about The Baboon Show.

The Baboon Show, punk-rock que incita a la revolución

If you’ve ever seen them live, you know what we’re talking about. Pure energy. Pure attitude. No filters. They’ve been doing their thing since 2003, blasting their punk rock anthems all over Europe and mixing old school vibes with a fresh kick in the teeth. It’s loud, it’s fun, and it hits hard.

One of their most iconic songs is “Radio Rebelde”. A track that’s not just catchy, but a full-on shoutout to doing things your own way. To fighting, loving, resisting or whatever it is that keeps your soul burning. That song was the spark for this collab.

Radio Rebelde - música y letra de The Baboon Show | Spotify

So we got to work. The idea was simple: turn that rebel energy into socks. Socks that stand out. That feel alive. That scream “I’m here and I don’t care what you think.” The result: a flaming radio design, straight from the heart of Radio Rebelde. It’s loud, it’s bold, and yeah... it totally rocks.These socks will only be around during The Baboon Show’s summer festival tour. After that, they’re gone. So if you’re a fan, or you just love wearing stuff that means something, you know what to do.

For us, this collab is more than merch. It’s about celebrating the connection we’ve built over the years in festivals, backstage, and on the road. Same passion, same mindset.

SUR LA ROUTE AVEC KNOSIS : Édition limitée👊

Nous revenons tout juste d'une tournée au Japon avec KNOSIS et, franchement… nous sommes toujours aussi enthousiastes. Ce voyage n'était pas qu'une simple collaboration : c'est devenu l'une des expériences les plus inoubliables que nous ayons jamais vécues.

Dès le premier jour, on a eu l'impression qu'American Socks faisait partie du groupe. On s'est entassés dans le van, on a partagé des sushis, on a bu du saké comme les locaux, on s'est marrés comme des fous sur la route et on a réussi à arriver à chaque concert en un seul morceau. Les gars de KNOSIS ? Des vrais. Ryo surtout, une bête sur scène et le mec le plus cool en dehors. Ils nous ont accueillis comme des membres de la famille, et c'est exactement ce qu'on a ressenti.

Chaque concert était un véritable chaos. La scène metal japonaise ? À un autre niveau. Les mosh pits étaient brutaux, les gens volaient dans les airs, hurlaient chaque parole, la sueur ruisselait sur les murs, c'était magnifique. Le genre d'énergie qui vous rappelle pourquoi vous êtes tombé amoureux de la musique live.

Nous avons lancé une collaboration de chaussettes en édition limitée inspirée du logo et du style du groupe, et elles se sont vendues plus vite qu'on ne l'aurait imaginé. Voir les gens les porter dans la fosse, sauter des barrières, couverts de sueur, chaussés d'American Socks… c'était incroyable.

Nous étions là pour tout, installant notre stand à chaque concert, échangeant avec les fans, prenant des photos, savourant l'instant présent. Et oui, nous avons tout capturé : le bruit, les sourires, le chaos, l'amour.

Cette collaboration est très importante pour nous. Non seulement parce qu'elle a été un succès, mais aussi parce qu'elle est née d'une véritable connexion. KNOSIS, tu as une place dans nos cœurs. Nous sommes fiers d'avoir réalisé cela ensemble et avons hâte de voir la suite.

Un grand merci à tous ceux qui sont venus. Vous avez rendu cela possible.

Certaines collaborations sont inévitables, et celle-ci était inévitable. American Socks collabore avec Sexy Zebras depuis des années, de vrais rockers, pleins d'énergie et toujours prêts à transformer n'importe quelle salle en chaos total, de la meilleure des manières.

Ces chaussettes sont faites pour les fans qui se font ballotter dans le pogo avec le reste du public . C'est déchaîné, bruyant et inoubliable. Même s'ils ne sont qu'un trio, ils sonnent comme une tempête : brut, puissant et imparable.

Avec la sortie de leur nouvel album « Bravo » , qui cartonne à nos bureaux, nous savions qu'il fallait absolument qu'on fasse quelque chose ensemble. Nous avons donc collaboré pour proposer une collaboration exclusive autour de chaussettes pour leur tournée.

Les chaussettes officielles de la tournée Sexy Zebras sont désormais disponibles sur notre site web, et vous pourrez également vous en procurer une paire lors de leurs concerts, sur leurs stands de produits dérivés. Et croyez-nous, si vous assistez à l'un de leurs concerts (la plupart affichent complet), vous aurez envie de vous jeter dans la foule, de vous plonger dans la musique et de ressentir le pogo en direct.

Nous partagerons une vidéo spéciale de leur spectacle à guichets fermés à la Sala Apolo de Barcelone ce dimanche, et il y a déjà une interview exclusive sur notre Instagram où vous pourrez mieux connaître le groupe.

Nous sommes ravis pour eux, fiers de ce qu'ils ont accompli et impatients de les accompagner dans leur aventure. Cette collaboration ne se résume pas à des chaussettes : elle célèbre la vraie musique, les vraies personnes et cette connexion électrique que seuls les concerts peuvent créer.

Prends ta paire. Saute dans la fosse.

LANDMVRKS : Des chaussettes Metalcore avec une âme 🌊

Chez American Socks, nous avons toujours dit que la musique et la mode allaient de pair. Ce qui compte, ce n'est pas seulement ce que l'on porte, mais ce que l'on représente. C'est pourquoi nous sommes ravis de nous associer à LANDMVRKS , l'un des groupes les plus en vue de la scène metalcore française , pour sortir une édition limitée de chaussettes aussi percutantes que leur musique.

LANDMVRKS | Spotify

Si vous ne les connaissez pas encore, LANDMVRKS est originaire de Marseille et fait parler d'eux depuis 2014. Ce qui a débuté sous le nom de « Coldsight » est rapidement devenu le groupe phare qu'ils sont aujourd'hui. Imaginez un mélange parfait de punk hardcore et de métal , avec des influences de groupes comme Bring Me the Horizon et Architects, mais avec leur propre touche. Ils ont tourné en Europe, aux États-Unis, au Japon, et ils font actuellement fureur sur les scènes de Nouvelle-Zélande et d'Australie.

Il y a quelques semaines, ils ont sorti leur nouvel album , The Darkest Place I've Ever Been . Lourd, émouvant, brut. Il ne s'agit pas seulement de breakdowns et de riffs (même s'il y en a plein). Cette fois, ils ont approfondi la question de la peur, de l'introspection et de tous ces moments sombres que nous traversons tous. Ils ont même ajouté des touches hip-hop, et franchement, ça claque.

L'endroit le plus sombre où j'aie jamais été - Album de LANDMVRKS | Spotify

On se croise dans les festivals depuis des années, on traîne ensemble, on boit des bières, on partage des anecdotes. À un moment donné, il est devenu évident de créer quelque chose ensemble. On s'est donc associés à un ami artiste qui partage notre passion pour le rock et on a créé des chaussettes inspirées de l'œuvre « The Darkest Place I've Ever Been » . Sombres, puissantes et carrément géniales.

Vous trouverez ces chaussettes uniquement sur la boutique officielle de LANDMVRKS et lors de leurs concerts. Édition limitée, alors si vous voulez un morceau du groupe à porter, c'est le moment.

De la part de toute l'équipe d'American Socks, nous souhaitons aux membres de LANDMVRKS une tournée mémorable et des projets encore plus ambitieux. Nous sommes fiers de cette collaboration et avons hâte de découvrir la suite. Metalcore et Socks : le meilleur duo de tous les temps.

LANDMVRKS: Metalcore Socks with Soul 🌊

At American Socks, we’ve always said that music and fashion go hand in hand. It’s not just about what you wear, it’s about what you stand for. That’s why we’re stoked to team up with LANDMVRKS, one of the sickest bands coming out of the French metalcore scene, to drop a limited edition of socks that hit just as hard as their music.

LANDMVRKS | Spotify

If you don’t know them yet, LANDMVRKS are from Marseille and have been making noise since 2014. What started as “Coldsight” quickly turned into the powerhouse they are today. Imagine a perfect mix of hardcore punk and metal, with influences from bands like Bring Me the Horizon and Architects but with their own twist. They’ve toured Europe, the US, Japan, and right now they’re melting stages in New Zealand and Australia.

A few weeks ago, they released their new album The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been. Heavy, emotional, raw. It’s not just breakdowns and riffs (though there are plenty of those). They went deep this time talking about fear, self-reflection, and all those dark places we all go through. They even brought in some hip-hop vibes, and honestly, it slaps.

The Darkest Place I've Ever Been - Album by LANDMVRKS | Spotify

We’ve been bumping into each other at festivals for years, hanging out, having beers, sharing stories. At some point, it just made sense to create something together. So, we joined forces with an artist friend who gets both our vibes, and designed socks inspired by the artwork of The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been. Dark, powerful, and straight-up badass.

You’ll only find these socks on LANDMVRKS’ official store and at their shows. Limited edition, so if you want a piece of the band you can actually wear, now’s the time.

From the whole American Socks crew, we’re wishing the guys in LANDMVRKS an epic tour and even bigger things ahead. We’re proud of this collab and can’t wait for what’s next. Metalcore and socks: best combo ever.
