Our favorite festival, Punk Rock Holiday is around the corner. This Monday, our team will drive right into the Slovenian town of Tolmin for 5th time in a row.

Are you ready to see the Fireball? 

Fireball is the latest American Socks model and a design created by Diego Jimenez. He tells us a little more about the design below.

-Diego, what inspired you to make this amazing design?

+ I mainly wanted to be inspired by skulls with fire, it seemed like a great idea to present this style of illustration. Thinking that socks are a piece of decoration that is attached to the body. Also taking into account in American Socks style with those colors and finishes with a lot of power and attract attention even from afar. I felt that I could contribute from my art.

Available now!

Stay Cool is the new American Socks design by illustrator and graphic designer Vinicius Gut. A colorful and perfect design to give a special touch to your look.

Vinicius explains that his greatest source of inspiration for the design was the design of skates and vintage characters.
Do you dare to stay cool or would you rather die?

Available now!

Shopping with @itssaramateo in the MACBA area of ​​Barcelona, ​​visiting second-hand stores. At the hands of the photographer @mariafrnandez we made some photos like the following. As the sunny days begin we start wearing sunglasses, and what better than the new American Socks sockglasses. Sara wears two pairs of classic socks and Round White & Black Sockglasses. The pairs of socks are the California Republic of the Mid High collection and the Stifler model of the Knee High collection.

Would you prepare for the summer with us?

 

From May 8 to 11 we were at the REC.0 2019 festival located in Igualada (Barcelona). We transported all our socks to a stand that we assembled at the festival so that you could enjoy all the fun with us.

Then we leave a video made by @albertmarcos_ and @_gerardlazaro. There are still many more stops in our Goes On Tour 2019. Have you already looked which one you have closest to? 

Last week we went for a walk in Barcelona with our two girls @itsxjudd and @clairehepburn and the photographer @mariafrnandez. On the way to Arc del Triomf we went through a bar and had a couple of cafes. To accompany the look of each one they wore Rocks n'Roses and Yamato socks from the Signature Series collection.

What socks would you wear for a morning walk around Barcelona with your friends?

 



Our friends Less Than Jake hit the road once again and will be visiting almost all European capitals with the Punk in Drublic tour. A great chance to release a new collaboration sock with the legendary Ska-Punkers from Gainsville FL.
Exclusive only available on their merchandising.

No coneixes el REC? Rec.0 Experimental Stores és la transformació efímera d’un vell barri industrial, el barri del Rec, a Igualada. Dues vegades l’any, i només durant quatre dies, les velles fàbriques i adoberies es converteixen en pop up stores de moda on marques de primer nivell hi venen els seus estocs i mostraris a preus únics.

American Socks ja en som uns experts per això, hem compilat 5 raons per les que no et pots perdre el REC 1.9. Del 8 al 11 de Maig al barri del REC a Igualada.

1. Descomptes de les Millors Marques.

Prepara la cartera. Més de 120 marques com Converse, Arnette, DC, Kaotiko obren les seves pop-ups per vendre a un preu reduït els seus stocks. Amb descomptes mínims del 15% i preus únics, hi podras trobar oportunitats outlet molt dificils de desaprofitar. Recomenem anar-hi els primers dies quan hi ha més posibilitats de trobar gangues. 

2. Música en directe i Activitats.

Igualada es vesteix de festa i per tota la zona s'ofereixen activitats, concerts i tallers per a totes les edats. Consulta tota l'agenda d'activitats en el següent enllaç. AGENDA REC.0

3. Explora el Barri del REC

Igualada és una ciutat amb un ric passat industrial. Durant segles, les seves fàbriques tèxtils i les adoberies situades al barri del Rec van ser autèntics motors econòmics. A mitjans del segle XX va arribar la decadència i aquells edificis imponents, poc a poc, van ser abandonats. Avui se’ns fa encara més evident l’esplèndid patrimoni arquitectònic que van deixar aquells anys de progrés: un barri sencer que, malgrat el temps, conserva una atmosfera particular que el fa especial.

4. Gastronomía: Rec Street Food

El Rec Street Food és el festival gastronòmic de menjar de carrer que complementa el Rec.0 Experimental Stores. Compta amb la boja quantitat de 41 food trucks espacialment seleccionats per representar diferents cultures i gustos. Qui no menja al REC, no menja enlloc!

 

5. Surt de Casa!

La previsió meteorológica es favorable, aixi que no hi ha cap excusa per no sortir de casa. Una activitat apte per a families, parelles i amics/gues.

 

Who does not want some colorful cereals American style? Today we have taken our model @evagfernandez together with our photographer @mariafrnandez to do a shoot at El Flako Corn Flakes & Co in Barcelona. 

Eva ordered a full bun of Froot Loops and Fruity Pebbles decorated with cloud and strawberry ice cream! To complete a glass of pink milk. This was our visit to the place. Showing the Freak Banana socks from the Signature Series collection, the McFly socks from the Mig High collection and finally the TurquoiseNoise from the Knee High collection.

To finish the walk we ended up taking some pictures in the street. This time Eva was wearing Wisemonkeys socks from the Signature Series collection.

The good weather begins in Barcelona and it's a blast to walk around Barceloneta to enjoy the sun, good company and a couple of juices. From the Signature Series collection we will see the Alchemy Chimera, the Casablanca, the Bondi Beach, the Snake Eater, the Skater Skull and the Mid High collection the BlueNoise, the Not My President. 

 

In the hands of the photographer @mariafrnandez and with the models @ghenn_lovegood, @xgece.13 and @toni_inkfected we achieved an incredible result by teaching the lifestyle that we associate with our socks. Different colors, styles to combine with any of your favorite looks for this spring/summer 2019.
