Nike socks

[Tchocky]

Have any of you guys noticed the socks the pros are wearing? Initially, I thought they were wearing some kind of brace around their ankle. On close inspection, I noticed it was part of the sock. Are these hi-tech socks available for purchase? I haven't seen them anywhere?

Pros wear two pairs. They are regular Nike 'tournament' socks, here they are:

pros wear 2 pairs? are you serious? why?

i imagine wearing 2 pairs of socks helps prevent blisters. many basketball players also wear 2 pairs when they play.

I thought this was to increase their shoe-size?

i wear one pair of really good socks, so i don't need 2 pairs

however, I used to buy Nike socks and I beleive they are the worse. Blisters, poor quality, 1/2 the seam is stuck in the corner of my shoe... They are 100% cotton and are hard to get on and off the feet with almost no stretch. I suffered for a year until I switched to Thor-lo polys, and now I can run 10 miles without a blister!

Sometimes I wear two condoms but that's a different story.

If you were training for 4 hours a day, if your feet were heavily taped, and if you had custom made orthotics in your shoes you would consider wearing 2 pairs of socks.

'Nike Tournament' socks are high quality made in the US socks (something worth mentioning when talking about a Nike product). Nothing like the cheap Nike socks you buy in packs of 5.

I think Fed wears an ankle brace under his sock. It looked that way during Wimbledon.
