Shorty’s Are Here: 90s Skate Style Meets Modern Comfort

If you were around in the 90s, you know the look. Baggy denim. Faded tees. Skate shoes that could take a beating. And, of course, socks that made a statement without even trying. The 90s were about more than just fashion—it was a lifestyle, one built on skating curbs until the streetlights came on, blasting mixtapes from a Walkman, and pulling style together from what felt authentic, not what was trending in a magazine.

At SOCCO, that energy has always been our foundation. Retro-inspired comfort. Durability that holds up session after session. And designs that speak to both the culture we grew up in and the one still pushing things forward today. That’s why we’re hyped to introduce our latest drop: the Shorty’s.

Same Socco DNA, just cut shorter for that laid-back 90s look.

Built Like Our Classics, Just Shorter

When we say the Shorty’s are cut from the same cloth as our crews, we mean it literally. The same premium materials. The same attention to detail. The same retro-inspired patterns and colors that stand out without trying too hard.

We kept everything that makes our crew socks a staple—the cushioned footbed, the reinforced toe and heel, the perfect balance of stretch and structure—and just gave them a shorter silhouette.

So whether you’re skating all day, cruising the boardwalk, or hitting a backyard session with friends, the Shorty’s are built to keep up.

Why Shorter Socks Are Back in Style

Let’s be real—sometimes less is more. The Shorty’s were made for those days when you want the same sock you know and trust, just without the extra length. It’s the perfect middle ground: shorter than our classic crews, but still long enough to stay locked in place when you’re skating, running, or just hanging.

Think back to late-90s skate style—the shoes were chunky, the pants were wide, and the socks peeked out just enough to complete the fit. That’s the inspiration here. The Shorty’s bring that same energy but with modern comfort and durability baked in.

Today, shorter socks are trending again, especially in skateboarding and streetwear. From retro sneakers to baggy shorts, the 90s vibe is alive and well, and the Shorty’s are built to match it perfectly.

Three Fresh Color Ways Dropping This Month

This first Shorty’s release comes with three new color ways, each designed with 90s fashion in mind. Bold but versatile. Retro yet timeless. Perfect for mixing into everyday outfits or making a statement on their own.

From neutral tones that fit any look to colors that pop like your favorite 90s skate ad, these socks are built to give you options.

The 90s Influence on Skate and Street Fashion

When people talk about 90s style making a comeback, it’s easy to chalk it up to nostalgia. But the truth is, the 90s were a decade defined by authenticity. The look wasn’t polished or overly curated. It was about self-expression, DIY culture, and community.

Socks were always part of the uniform. Skaters rolled their pants just right to show them off. Bands and brands earned credibility when people actually wanted to wear their logos on their socks. It was raw, real, and rooted in subculture.

The Shorty’s aren’t just socks—they’re a nod to an era where fashion was about individuality, not algorithms.
