GADGET #42: Best Socks ever...???

Yohji Yamamoto

My friend is a huge admirer of Yohji Yamamoto a famous Japanese fashion designer. He wanted to visit the Mainbranch in Tokyo to buy some socks. I was asking him why he wanted to buy socks and he told me that 1 pair was 150 USD in the USA... Must be some socks if they are that expensive!!!

I could not believe that a pair of socks would be worth 150 USD so I bought one pair too. My friend was right the socks feel amazing but I would not pay 150 USD for it. The price in Japan was "only" 27 USD so that I was able to afford. My friend bought 6 pairs at the price of 1 in the US and he was so happy that he bought 2 Shirts too. While I am not a huge fan of Yohji, he has some cool stuff in his shop in Tokyo.

Would you ever spend 150 USD on a pair of socks ???

Whoa, that is insane, even at $27! I was out earlier and saw some Adidas socks, 2 pair pack for $15 USD, and I thought that was kind of high, waiting for a sale and I'll hopefully get them for maybe $10 LOL. So paying $27 or $150, I don't think I could do it.

27usd was just for my blog to test the sock.;) amazing but i would not pay that

Thanks for taking one for the team then, and getting a pair for the post :)

I can't afford $150 for one pair of socks, it's very high price for me. May be others can afford .

it was only 27usd inn japan. but still very expensive for socks

Do you know what the socks are made out of ? Silk or something

100% wool. the socks are really amazing.
