A friend of mine likes mocking me because I once wore slightly offbeat socks. She called them creepy, which is an odd choice of words for someone who claims to work in the fashion industry, because those socks are Japanese ergo fashionable. Relatedly, AshiDashi, meaning "stick out your feet" in Japanese (Moye, please confirm. Kthnxbi), is a sock company started by a Japanese American (Moye, Asian high five!) that aims to bring a a bit of color and whimsy to the dull lives of people like my aforementioned friend.
I especially like these two designs, "meat" and "kick the habit" cigarette socks.
