A loyal sock-enthusiast and NicSocks customer, Jason Bagley, recently sent in a fantastic image of his amazingly decorated feet. Jason and his wife Karina have just had a beautiful girl, Eva. They had a photoshoot with her recently and Jason chose to wear his pair of the Mario Block NicSocks during the shoot. We think […]
Everyone hates paying for shipping. We know this, you know this and you know we know this. Now if you order 3 or more pairs of NicSocks and you live in South Africa, shipping is free! image: ɹǝʇǝd
We’re gearing up for the holiday season of 2013. Yes, we like to plan ahead here at NicSocks. We also like to give you things you didn’t know you wanted but will love nevertheless. With this in mind you can now send socks as a gift to your favourite guy. All you have to do is […]
Since the start we’ve been convinced that monthly sock subscriptions would be the future of NicSocks. Since that moment we’ve been working tirelessly to make it possible to accept credit card payments (which is surprisingly difficult) on a recurring monthly basis in South Africa. That moment has finally arrived. You can now receive socks every […]
For months and months we’ve been deciding whether we should stick with our store currency as Rands or flip over to the more widely accepted Dollar currency. We’ve finally made the choice to move over US Dollars. There are a couple of simple reasons for this. Firstly we have a lot of overseas customers who […]
It’s sometime difficult to explain who wears NicSocks, what kind of gentleman we like to look after and aim to be. But then we discovered the Fierce Gentleman Manifesto. It’s a long read but they were kind enough to provide 21 points from the manifesto. Here they are for your reading pleasure: We seek first to heal […]
The entertainment, geek and comic worlds have been a bit of a buzz lately with the news that Ben Affleck will play Batman in the upcoming Superman movie. We thought it would be fun to see what Affleck would look like in a pair of the newly launched Sunset NicSocks. So here the man is […]
NicSocks have been packaged in two different ways since we launched in November last year. We’ve been working hard on giving our Sockaholics the very best unpacking experience possible and I think we’ve arrived at a fantastic way to present you with your socks. After some research into our past 8 months of sales and […]
The big man has just released his latest album and we wanted to see him kicking it with his NicSocks. So we’ve gone and done it. Above is what Jay Z would look like wearing a pair of EyeSpy NicSocks. And here, just for good measure, is the new Jay Z video:
Who wore socks better than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson? No one. That’s who. If he was still alive and he could wear a pair of NicSocks, I’m sure he’d rock the hell out of The Clown socks. Since we’ll never see this in real life here’s what the man himself would look like.
Socks are really just the start of any great outfit. To truly dress amazingly you need to understand how things fit. I hate rules as a general point of departure but there are some rules that matter because they make you feel and look fantastic. Here at NicSocks we bend the rules a little and […]
I visited my manufacturers recently and they had just received a brand now sock machine. This is the machine that will be handling NicSocks going forward. Look at it, in all of its glory.
It’s time for the next celebrity in NicSocks. Chris O’Dowd was the geek in the cult sitcom The IT Crowd and also recently played a part in Girls. Chris is wearing the very popular (and sold out) Black Brick Road NicSocks.
I was fortunate enough to be invited to tell the NicSocks story this week at Media24. Here are some photos of the staff rocking their socks!
It’s been a while since we’ve seen what a celebrity would look like in a pair of NicSocks. Today we’ve got Joseph Gordon-Levitt rocking a pair of The Humphrey NicSocks*. The Humphrey goes for R99 and is selling out quickly. Don’t forget, limited edition runs means that once they’re gone, they’re really gone! *DISCLAIMER: Joseph […]
Daniel is the very first in what will hopefully become a very important part of the NicSocks range of socks, the Artist Foundation. I interviewed Daniel to ask him about his experiences designing socks. NicSocks (NS): Tell us a bit about who you are (2 or 3 sentences) Daniel (D): My name is Daniel Ting […]
Starting NicSocks was an attempt at lean fashion ecommerce creation. With the help of the amazing skills over at Obox we launched a quick and effective site seen here: For the launch of the brand this site was perfect, fun and effective. As sales increased, our customer base grew and the brand itself grew legs […]

It’s Friday and I like to go formal on Fridays, you know, to keep things fresh. So this is what I wore on Formal Friday:
Ashamedly it has been a couple of weeks since my last post about What Nic Wore. But we’re back in action! Here’s what I wore on March 30th headed out for burgers. Guess what NicSocks were being worn? Looking at the outfit you should probably be thinking something with red. You’d be right. I […]
It’s always a tough look to pull off: Socks with shorts and we think Brad Pitt is struggling a bit. So we’ve given him a sock-lift. Here’s Brad if he were wearing a pair of the first foundation, Black Brick Road NicSocks:

Wearing a tie is something that was thrust upon me as a high school kid. I tied my tie at the start of each semester and then would carefully take it off each day so I could slip it back on again. Since moving on I quite enjoy wearing ties at the right occasion with […]
What if Ryan Gosling were to don a pair of NicSocks? Would we make him even more stylish than he already is? We think so. In this entirely satirical and hypothetical situation we’re giving you the chance to see what Ryan would look like rocking a pair of the famous Barber Shop NicSocks. Other […]
