today we're going to be talking about the air jordan 1 and which socks you should
be wearing with them everyone knows the air jordan 1 comes in multiple styles and
colors but that does not mean you could wear the same socks with every single
shoe so today we're going to be going over the do's and don'ts on which socks to wear
sit back grab your popcorn kick your feet up and let's get into it
what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not know by now
my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already make sure you hit that subscribe
button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time i upload a new video and make sure
you hit that like button because that helps algorithm oh so much so before i get started
with this video i have to make the disclaimer now because we're gonna have a bunch of trolls
in the comment section talking about oh my gosh be yourself be your own style why are you gonna such
sheep and i completely understand this is just a representation of my style and my preferences
a lot of people have asked me this question via dm and comments and different stuff like that so
i figured it was right that i finally made a video for y'all and yes if you don't like my style i am
not mad at you at all everybody has their own preferences i'm just telling you the do's and
don'ts in my rule book so in this video i'm going to be giving you guys a lot of on foot options
showing you differences with white socks and black socks and different brands and colors and stripes
all different types of stuff like that and then which shoes to match with wet socks because just
because you have white socks that doesn't mean they always look good with every single shoe
sometimes you want to switch it up and we'll talk about that in today's video so for a really long
time i had always been a fan of black socks and that has been my go-to for many many of years but
one thing that everybody knows is black socks get faded and they look terrible so soon as you see
your black socks are starting to become faded and that's usually after a few wears get rid of those
things you can't be rocking dingy black socks with a fresh pair of shoes trust me right now it's not
a good look so while we're at it let's go into my favorite black socks then we'll go into the
white socks then we'll talk about coloring and patterning and then we'll go into wild colored
socks with different stripes and patterns like that so i currently have four different type of
crew cut black socks that i like one of them is going to be the premium air jordan jumpman
black socks right here i really love the look of that sock on the foot and i think they really go
well with obviously a jumpman shoe being an air jordan one especially i think it's a solid look
some people say it's overkill having the jumpman on there me personally i think it's cool and i'm
not mad at it but typically nine times out of ten i'm rocking the black crew cut sock with the
nike swoosh on there that's just classic og never looks bad unless it's dingy but besides from that
i think it looks really well you can rock that with a darker shoe i don't think it really goes
well with a lighter shoe i think if you have a darker sock liner and you have a shoe with
a darker sock liner it allows you to wear a black sock but i think it could potentially look better
if you had a white sock depending on the sneaker if it's predominantly white or lighter colors
if you have an all-black shoe something like the breads or the royals or something like that
i think they look great with a sneaker like that another favorite sock of mine and it's kind of
like a double-edged sword because i kinda don't like the sock as well at the same time and i'll
explain that in a second but we have the nba sock right here the nike collab version and these right
here man are so comfortable they're elite socks they're premium they're really hard to have fade
so they last for a really long time they feel super plush on the foot and you're gonna spend
a couple extra more bucks to get a sock like this but you're definitely gonna get your money's worth
when you're copping something like this so these socks in particular have the nike swoosh on the
front on the shin you have your nba logo on the side and the one thing that i really don't like
anymore is the elite hits here on the back of the foot i am willing to sacrifice that because i like
the whole nba vibe and everything like that but i wish they would have got rid of this elite vibe i
feel like the elites and everything like that that was cool like 10 years ago but just not
anymore but because of the comfort and the quality and other hits on the sock i really do appreciate
them and i still rock them i don't rock them all the time but they are definitely in my rotation
and last but not least is your classic hypebeast sock everyone always has this sock it's your hanes
supreme cheap little sock these things are honestly not even that nice quality
i think they're just good for photos and stuff like that you got your white supreme hit here
at the top of the sock on both sides and that's about it it's just your classic hypebeast sock
i feel like everybody kind of got to have it in their rotation i don't wear these all the time but
again for photos different stuff like that i tend to put them on now when it comes to crew cut white
socks now i only have two options right here and the third option is a no-go first one is going to
be your classic white tube socks now one thing that i can say is these run just a little bit
bigger a little bit more stretchy than the black ones are for some reason and they tend to go all
the way up your calf if you pull them up high and i've seen a lot of people pull their socks
all the way up to their calves and i'm telling you right now that is not a good look so definitely in
a situation like that you want to make sure that you scrunch the sock down a little bit give it a
little bit of character down below and make sure that sock is not touching the bottom of your calf
because you might get roasted and another thing is these socks aren't too expensive you can get
these at outlets and different stuff like that for pretty cheap they aren't the best quality
but i think they get the job done so at the end of the day if you want to grab a couple packs
especially for me like i travel a lot so taking vacations or whatever it is i always
make sure that i buy a fresh pair of socks and i have a new pack in my suitcase that way i'm
not traveling around with any dingy socks because these typically start to get dingy after you know
five maybe ten wears depending on the situation you know washing them everything like that so
you definitely always want to make sure you got a couple extra pairs sitting on deck ready to go for
that next fresh pair of shoes and another thing to make sure that you pay attention to is you might
get lint balls on the inside of your sock liner of the shoe so make sure if you know that you got
a cheaper sock like this that could potentially happen to your sneaker and then you're gonna have
to go clean it out scrape it out whatever it may be which we can talk about all that in another
video next up a very premium a highly slept on sock i don't know everybody doesn't have
a costco membership but the kirkland all-white socks these things are nice i think these are
great for that og vibe every time you're rocking some breads or some royals or something like that
you want to put this type of sock on it's going to give you that old-school late 80s early 90s vibe
with the socks like this i think it's a great look when you're rocking an og colorway especially at
air jordan one now this third one is a no-go and i'm telling you right now if you do this
oh please don't do this i don't even know why you would even consider doing this i feel bad filming
this on foot right here and that's rocking adidas socks with nike shoes and vice versa no nike socks
with adidas shoes no adidas socks with nike shoes i know nike says just do it but this situation
just don't do it now people are going to ask the question in the comment section as well what socks
should i wear with the jordan mids because i know people rock meds as well me personally i like the
older air jordan 1 mids they have a different type of cut and a different tongue to them and
i think they look really good on foot some people can hate all that they want in the comment section
but i think older air jordan 1 mids still look really dope and as you can see right here if you
switch out white or black socks right there with a chicago colorway especially like that i think
you can get away with your classic crew cut nike swoosh keep it simple that way you're not too loud
you know people already may be tripping about you rocking mids so i think just keep it subtle rock
something simple with the nike swoosh and that'll definitely give you a simple and clean look
now when it comes to low tops you got the same situation you could wear high top black socks or
high top white socks and i completely understand that doesn't look bad i think that's situational
based on the summer time the conditions outside do you think you're gonna get a sock tan or not
there's a lot of different factors when it comes to the low top air jordan one i think you can
definitely rock the highs and you can definitely rock the lows so you got two different types of
lows you got more of the no-show style or the one that has the ankle with the nike switch here on
the side so as that looks right there you can see you can definitely still see the swoosh you can
still see that you're rocking a sock or you can go with the no-show style and the nike switch is here
at the front but you can't even really see the sock at all you can just mainly seen the shoe on
your foot and that's the no-show look especially for the summer time i know a lot of people like
that style let me know what you think down below in the comment section so i gave you guys a lot of
different looks talking about color combinations based on the shoe you know if it has a black sock
liner you want a rock maybe a black sock or a white sock depending on the color of the shoe if
it's a predominantly black shoe i typically tend to go with the black sock but i know it doesn't
look bad with the white sock either and that's going to be a preference thing me personally i
tend to wear a lot of darker outfits as you can see i have a black shirt on right here so with
that i typically wear a lot more black socks but depending on your outfit as well the white socks
can give you more of a retro vibe or it may stick out a little bit more with the outfit and you
might have to tone it down a little bit rocking that black sock so it really kind of all depends
on what shorts you're wearing or what shirt you're wearing and how your whole outfit is looking with
that shoe but either way i think those type of socks that i just gave you are some good options
now let's talk about the don'ts now this one right here if you're wearing a wild shoe you typically
want to keep it very subtle with the socks and just rock a white sock keep it simple keep it
clean and let the shoe do all the work because i'm telling you right now that's already going to grab
all the attention you don't want to pull up to the scene with no yellow striped socks talking
about look at my m ms on the back bruh look at the shoes they're already so crazy i understand that
there's yellow on the sneaker but i'm telling you right now no bro oompa loompa vibes you can't do
it y'all remember back in 2012 when everybody was rocking the socks with their city skyline on them
and they matched with the shoes and they went to the games and everything like that leave that in
2012. we don't want to rock those no more don't wear the city socks another thing that you're
going to not want to do is don't wear low cuts with high top ones i have done it before and i'm
telling you right now it just doesn't feel right and sometimes i've literally just been wearing low
cuts already and i go to run out the door i got a pair of jordan 1 highs sitting by the door i
put them on i go out somewhere and somebody's like are you wearing low cuts with high top jordan ones
and i'd be like yes bro i was running out the house and i forgot to switch my socks and this
is where i'm at now then i gotta explain myself as to why i'm not wearing high top socks so what
i'm telling you right now is don't wear the lows with the high top jordan ones you gotta wear high
top socks with the high top shoes and another one socks with all these funky patterns with
the triangles and the abstract look and everything we can leave that back in 2015 as well because i'm
telling you right now that's not the wave and last but not least y'all remember back in 2015
when everybody was tie-dying the socks and taking nice nba elite socks and different stuff like that
dip dynum you name it bruh all that can stay in the past we don't want that right now it's
not a good look these right here i got these as a gift and i still never wore them i just wore them
for the first time for this on foot so you guys can see how terrible it looks so overall i hope
this video was funny educational helpful whatever you may call it i had a great time filming the
video i definitely had some good laughs cracking jokes about what socks to wear what socks to not
all those different things i appreciate you guys as always and again i really hope this was helpful
and at the end of the day like i said in the disclaimer have your own style be you i'm just
expressing my style the dudes that i have the don'ts that i have and the experiences that i've
had rocking these different type of socks over the years or the socks that i chose not to rock over
the years and that's just me expressing that so i hope you guys stay fresh i hope you guys stay fly
