Stride North East Performance Running Socks - Violet Velocity

The Stride North East Violet Velocity is a half crew performance running sock in white, with magenta and raspberry drip stripes running down from the cuff, a raspberry heel and toe, a magenta dotted sole and a black STRIDE wordmark across the toe. Despite the name, the colour is magenta rather than violet.

Underneath the colourway it is the same sock as the rest of the Stride performance range. The toe and heel are seamless, so there is no raised seam to rub across the toes or at the back of the heel, and both are cushioned to take the impact of landing and pushing off without adding bulk in the shoe. A compression-style band around the arch holds the sock in place, which stops it twisting or bunching over a long run.

The knit is 95% nylon for durability and moisture-wicking, with 5% elastic for stretch and a snug fit. It is a half crew length that rises clear of the shoe collar, and it is unisex, sized on UK men's shoe sizes. Stride North East are a running brand based in the North East of England, and design their socks in the UK.
