Ankle-length sports socks in Black & Grey, a vintage-inspired design from the French brand Mazarin.
These socks are ideal for any physical activity, such as tennis, golf or hiking. This specific model offers several advantages:
Its composition: cotton is a light material that makes the socks very breathable, perfect for sweaty sports sessions. Polyamide is used for reinforcement, protecting the socks from wear and tear and ensuring you can use them for longer.
Its thickness: the sole of these socks is made using a loop knitting method that provides additional thickness in order to reduce friction and avoid blisters.
Its elasticity: the addition of elastane ensures that these socks are particularly flexible and adapt well to the movements of your feet during exercise. The additional elastic at the top of the sock also ensures a perfect fit.
Its colour: Black is an elegant, simple and all-purpose colour that goes well with all sportswear. You're going to love the grey stripes, a casual vintage touch!
Composition: 80% Cotton - 18% Polyamide - 2% Elastane
Height: Ankle (very short)
Product Reference : 7232607944870
We offer three sock heights:
1- Mid-Calf Socks
Height: mid-calf socks are long socks that reach just below the knee, right above the calf curve.
Advantages: they provide better hold and fully cover the shin. Their height is suitable to be worn with dress pants.

2- Crew Socks
Height: crew socks are short socks that reach the middle of the calf.
Advantage: they are suitable for people who wear slim-fit pants.

3- No-Show Socks
Height: no-show socks are very short socks. Two cutouts: one for sneakers that reaches below the ankle bone and one for loafers that reaches below the instep.
Advantage: no-show socks are invisible in sneakers or loafers but still protect your feet and shoes.

Black socks: really essential?
Black socks are often presented as an absolute basic… but is it really the best choice? More versatile, navy blue often offers a more elegant alternative, while very dark shades remain easy to match—provided you don’t overlook certain trouser/shoe combinations.
Before automatically opting for black, it’s better to understand its limits and uses: in two minutes, you’ll see that even classics can hold some surprises… with, as a bonus, an unexpected detour into French rock.
