Pantone, the proprietary color spacing company known the world over likes to lend a few of its shades to some products every now and then, and as part of their Pantone Universe collection they’re putting out some slick shaded socks.

Okay, so some people will say, “a sock is a sock is a sock,” but how can one argue that when you see these beauties and there’s just something else about them? They’re like what a sock should look like, the essence of perfect ‘sockiness’, if you will.
