Butter Goods Skateboard Socks
Butter Goods elevates the humble sock from afterthought to essential equipment with their premium constructions and distinctive aesthetic approach. Founded in Perth by skaters Garth Mariano and Matt Evans, the Australian brand brings the same thoughtful design philosophy to their sock line that defines their apparel – quality materials, functional details, and graphics that stand apart from skateboarding's visual norms. Their crew socks feature reinforced heels and toes that withstand the specific abrasions that come from skating Richmond's varied terrain, from the DIY concrete at Texas Beach to downtown's crusty brick spots. Beyond durability, Butter's socks deliver cushioning in high-impact zones while maintaining breathability during Virginia's notoriously humid summer sessions. Their height is intentionally calibrated for the contemporary skate silhouette – tall enough to protect your ankles from grip tape abrasion but not so high they overheat during all-day missions. Their signature stripe patterns and logo placements subtly communicate their Australian heritage without overt branding, while their seasonal graphic options integrate the same jazz, hip-hop, and counterculture influences that define their t-shirt graphics. Unlike mass-market options that quickly lose their elasticity, Butter's socks maintain their structure through repeated washings, with quality materials that prevent the dreaded mid-session slippage inside your shoes when you're filming at the Manchester spots.
