Christmas gifts for skateboarders – Anti Hero Skate Socks

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

Nothing says, “I love you but you fill me with such a profound sense of emotional inertia that I couldn’t think of a better gift” than the time-honoured tradition of the Christmas sock.
In many ways, it’s a truly utilitarian present, I mean, we all need them, (well, unless you’re one of those, ‘everybody should just live and smoke Salvia man…socks are foot oppression’ types, but the less said about them the better).

If you’re finding yourself in a similar bind and you can’t come up with a more inspired idea for a Christmas gift but, at the same time, don’t want to make the recipient think that you’re obliquely informing them that their feet stink of death, then we may well have a solution for you courtesy of part 1 of this handy Sidewalk 12 Days of Xmas guide to potential Christmas gifts for skateboarders. These Anti Hero Skate Socks not only come emblazoned with the classic Anti Hero Skateboards script logo in a variety of colours, (not just the icy blue/white you see here), but they also carry a fecal gag on the packaging to deflect attention away from the fact that yes, you’ve actually bought somebody a pair of socks to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Of course these Anti Hero Skate Socks are not really ‘flushable’ as should be obvious from the ‘almost biodegradable’ joke on the card packaging but, for those of you who either can’t read, or take everything you read as gospel we’ll make it clear – do not try to flush these socks down the toilet. It won’t act as a substitute for washing them and it’ll probably clog up your pipes.
Being as these skate socks are from the mighty Anti Hero Skateboard brand, the ‘flushable’ joke is in fact a reference to life on the road and wiping your brown downstairs tears away with your socks in the event of being out in the bush with no access to toilet paper.

Anyway – it’s only day 1 and we’re already talking about commando poo’ing so that’ll do for now.
If you’re buying socks for a skateboarder this Christmas, give these a go – you’re guaranteed to get a better reaction than slinging some Umbros in wrapping paper.
