https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/The_Equal_Pace-Berlin-Detail-04.jpg?v=1765521698 The 1970s marked a golden era in marathon history, a time of awakening from the shadows of post-war recovery. The world rediscovered the essence of "running," transforming marathons from an elite competition into a public's sporting faith. Among the World Marathon Majors, Berlin, Chicago, and New York progressively ignited a city-wide long-distance running craze in the 70s. Each event symbolized freedom, perseverance, and the breakthrough of human spirit. In 1972, the Boston Marathon opened its doors to female participants for the first time. This was not merely a turning point in sports history but a renaissance of social culture. The track became a symbol of equality, with every stride rewriting the boundaries of the era. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/The_Equal_Pace-Berlin-Detail-01.jpg?v=1765521698 # FLIPPED DESIGN We've embraced the most iconic "vintage plaid" of the 70s as the soul of this collection—a symbol bridging fashion and streetwear, embodying rebellion, independence, and the courage to be oneself. FLIPPOS brings this era's energy back to your feet, transforming classic textures into a modern language for runners. The socks feature a 17cm length, ideal for training, offering stable support from arch to ankle. Whether for regular training or pushing your limits on race day, they ensure you maintain peak performance. The entire series is named after the "World Marathon Majors," symbolizing the unique rhythm and running spirit of each city. When the socks are flipped, the original plaid pattern turns at a 45-degree angle, coordinating with the sock's color—akin to switching into the running vibe of different cities. Imagine the wild energy of New York, the speed of Berlin, the order of Tokyo, the elegance of Boston. Each step in these socks is like stepping into seven cities, running with freedom and attitude in your own rhythm. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/The_Equal_Pace-Berlin-Detail-02.jpg?v=1765521698 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/The_Equal_Pace-Berlin-Detail-03.jpg?v=1765521699 **WHY FLIPPOS?** The initial idea behind FLIPPOS Flipped Socks was to create an all-purpose compression sock suitable for office wear, transitioning directly to sports after work, and comfortable for all-day wear. Considering modern work patterns often involve prolonged sitting or standing, leading to discomfort in the feet and calves, our compression socks apply "graduated pressure" from the sole to the calf to alleviate these issues. Furthermore, wearing Flipped Socks during exercise effectively reduces muscle oscillation, enhancing athletic power and accelerating post-workout recovery. **FLIPPED LENGTH, FLIPPED ATTITUDE** To accommodate any occasion and any outfit, Flipped Socks uniquely feature a reversible design. Wear them pulled up just below the knee, or fold them down to mid-calf, instantly transforming from long socks to short socks. ★ Length before flipping: 17cm above the ankle ★ Length after flipping: 13cm above the ankle https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/equal_size.jpg?v=1772766195 **FLIPPOS Flipped Socks are Suitable for:** Everyday wear, pre- and post-exercise (running, cycling, skateboarding, hiking, strength training, etc.), travel, long flights, or alleviating leg discomfort during and after pregnancy. **Key Functions of FLIPPOS Flipped Socks:** ✔ These are functional compression socks ✔ Preserves art, passes on culture ✔ Instantly change length, a dual-use long/short sock ✔ Relieves discomfort from prolonged sitting and standing ✔ Eases daily stress, enhances athletic performance ✔ Speeds up post-exercise recovery ✔ Cool in summer, warm in winter ✔ Quick-drying and sweat-wicking for all-day comfort ✔ High-tech nylon with a feel comparable to Egyptian cotton ✔ Silver fiber for antibacterial properties, odor-free even after 3 days of wear ✔ Washable and durable, maintaining elasticity without loosening ✔ Proudly Made in Taiwan **Compression Level** FLIPPOS Flipped Socks have a compression value of 15-25 mmHg, suitable for daily use and not classified as medical devices, thus not requiring medical certification. **Material** Egyptian cotton feel, silver ion technology The primary material for Flipped Socks is a blend of high-tech nylon and Lycra.

Additionally, silver ion deodorizing technology is incorporated in the sole, ensuring its effectiveness is not diminished by time or washing. Composition: 85% Nylon (High-tech Nylon) 7% Lycra 4% Cotton 2% Spandex 2% Silver Fiber (Antibacterial/Deodorizing) **Washing Instructions** Hand washing is the optimal method to extend the product's lifespan; avoid vigorous rubbing. For machine washing, place socks inside a laundry bag (inside out), use cold water (below 30°C), and a neutral detergent (pH between 6-8). Do not use bleach, fluorescent brighteners, fabric softeners, or soak for extended periods in specialized sports detergents. Avoid powdered detergents, as they can clog the sock's micro-pores, diminishing its functionality. If concerned about your detergent causing color bleeding, wash separately. Separate dark and light colors; do not soak or dry clean. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble dryers; air drying is recommended. **Precautions** The statutory appreciation period, as permitted by the Consumer Protection Act, extends for 7 days from the date of receipt.
