The Nike Classic II Socks are engineered for athletes and active individuals who demand superior comfort, support, and durability in their performance wear. Featuring advanced DriFit technology and strategic cushioning, these knee-high socks provide a snug, supportive fit for intense activity, although selecting the correct size according to the detailed guide is key for maximum benefit.
DriFit Fabric: Constructed with lightweight DriFit material, these socks actively wick away sweat, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable even during strenuous activity.
Reinforced Heel and Toe: Designed for enhanced durability, the heel and toe areas are reinforced to withstand the high-wear stresses common in athletic use, extending the life of the socks.
Arch Support: Integrated arch support provides a snug and supportive fit, helping to reduce foot fatigue and offering stability during dynamic movements.
Left/Right Specific Fit: Each sock is anatomically designed for the left and right foot, ensuring an enhanced, more natural fit that contours to your foot's shape.
Strategically Placed Cushioning: High-impact areas are equipped with targeted cushioning, offering support and protection where you need it most to prevent discomfort and absorb shock.
Knee-High Length with Fold-Over Cuff: The knee-high design provides ample coverage, while the ribbed cuffs and ankles offer a snug, secure fit that helps prevent slipping down.

These Nike Classic II Socks are built for dynamic activity, mirroring the quality found in professional athletic gear. The DriFit fabric is paramount, ensuring your feet remain dry during intense workouts, runs, or competitive sports like football or basketball. This moisture-wicking capability prevents discomfort and helps stave off blisters, allowing you to focus on your performance.
The reinforced heel and toe are critical for athletes who put significant stress on their footwear. Imagine a soccer player constantly running and pivoting; these areas are built to endure that friction and impact, extending the sock's lifespan. The arch support works to cradle your foot, offering stability and reducing fatigue during long periods of standing or high-impact movements, which is particularly beneficial for sports involving a lot of jumping or quick changes in direction.
Furthermore, the left/right specific fit and strategically placed cushioning mean the socks conform precisely to your feet. This tailored fit minimizes bunching and rubbing, while the cushioning absorbs shock in areas like the ball of the foot and the heel, crucial for athletes experiencing repetitive impacts. Whether you're training, competing, or simply engaging in active recreation, these socks are designed to provide consistent comfort and support.
Identify Left and Right: Each sock is anatomically designed for a specific foot. Look for the 'L' and 'R' indicators (if present) or observe the contoured shape to ensure you put the correct sock on the correct foot for optimal fit and cushioning alignment.
Pull Up Smoothly: Gently pull the sock up to your knee. The ribbed cuff should sit comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose. Adjust the fold-over cuff to your preference.
To ensure the best fit and performance, refer to the sizing chart below. An incorrect size can lead to discomfort, bunching, or reduced effectiveness of the support features.

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Nike Classic II Socks. The material composition is 97% nylon and 3% elastane.
Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the DriFit fabric and elastane.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry. High heat can degrade the elastane, affecting the sock's elasticity and fit.
Ironing: Do not iron.
Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Avoid Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the fibers of DriFit material, reducing its moisture-wicking effectiveness. It's best to avoid them.
