The Nike Classic II Socks are meticulously engineered for athletes who prioritize comfort, support, and durability during intense physical activity. Featuring advanced moisture-wicking technology and an anatomical fit, these socks are designed to elevate your performance, though proper sizing is crucial for maximizing their benefits.
Dri-FIT Technology: Actively wicks sweat away from your skin, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout your game or workout.
Anatomically Correct Fit: Specifically designed for left and right feet, providing a natural, enhanced fit that minimizes bunching and discomfort.
Strategically Placed Cushioning: Offers targeted support and protection in high-wear areas, absorbing impacts and reducing pressure points.
Reinforced Heel and Toe: Increases the durability of the socks in areas prone to wear and tear, extending their lifespan.
Ribbed Cuffs and Ankles: Ensures a snug, secure fit that keeps the socks in place, preventing slippage during dynamic movements.
Arch Support: Delivers a snug and supportive feel around the arch, contributing to stability and reducing foot fatigue.
Knee-High Length: Provides comprehensive coverage and support, often favored in various sports for shin protection and warmth.
Nike Swoosh Branding: A subtle yet iconic detail located on the lower shin, signifying quality and athletic heritage.

The Nike Classic II Socks are built to perform under demanding conditions, making them ideal for a range of athletic activities, particularly team sports like soccer, football, and running where sustained comfort and support are critical. The integrated Dri-FIT technology actively pulls sweat away from the skin, preventing moisture buildup that can lead to blisters and discomfort during long periods of exertion. For example, during a 90-minute soccer match, players will notice significantly drier feet compared to standard cotton socks.
The anatomically correct left/right design ensures a contoured fit that moves with your foot, reducing friction and hot spots. This feature, combined with strategically placed cushioning, acts as a shock absorber, protecting the metatarsals, heels, and Achilles tendons from repetitive impacts. Runners will appreciate how this cushioning softens each stride, while field athletes benefit from reduced impact during quick cuts and sprints.
Arch support is crucial for maintaining foot stability and reducing fatigue over time, allowing athletes to maintain their form and explosiveness longer. The reinforced heel and toe areas are a testament to their durability, standing up to the constant rubbing inside athletic footwear without premature wear. These socks are designed to be a reliable component of any athlete's kit, from training sessions to match day.
Identify Left and Right: Each sock is specifically designed for either the left or right foot. Look for the 'L' and 'R' indicators (if present) or simply notice the contoured shape to ensure correct placement. Wearing them on the wrong foot can compromise the anatomical fit and cushioning.
Pull Up Fully: These are knee-high socks. Gently pull them up to your knee, ensuring the ribbed cuffs sit snugly but comfortably without constricting circulation. Smooth out any wrinkles, especially around the ankle and arch, to prevent rubbing.
These socks are highly compatible with various athletic footwear, especially cleats, running shoes, and trainers. They are explicitly designed for sportswear and team kit, providing optimal performance when paired with appropriate athletic shoes for activities like:
Soccer
Football
Basketball
Running
General training
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your Nike Classic II Socks. The material composition is 97% Nylon and 3% Elastane.
Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Using a gentle cycle is recommended.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the Dri-FIT fabric and elastane.
Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, air dry. High heat can degrade the elastic fibers (elastane) and affect the sock's stretch and fit over time. Lay flat or hang to dry.
Ironing: Do not iron. The material does not typically require ironing, and heat can damage the fabric.
Avoid: Do not dry clean.
