What to know about Stance
Socks carry the whole brand
The business was built on patterned crew socks, cushioned performance styles and soft Butter Blend fabrics, with underwear and apparel added around that core.
Graphics come from outside artists
Artist-series prints and collaborations with athletes, musicians and artists drive the designs, so the range turns over more like a graphics program than a basics line.
League licences legitimise the performance side
Stance makes official NBA and MLB on-court socks, which separates its cushioned styles from other low-priced patterned sock brands.
