Stance

Stance is an American sock brand from San Clemente, California, which in 2009 turned the sock into a fashion and sports item with bold prints. At Šport 11 (11-11.si) we stock Stance socks for running, cycling, hiking, winter and everyday wear: the Run Light and Run Wool running socks, the classic OG and Icon, wool models, snow socks and Basic multi-packs.

Stance brand history

Stance was founded in 2009 by Jeff Kearl, John Wilson, Aaron Hennings, Ryan Kingman and Taylor Shupe and is headquartered in San Clemente, California. The brand made its name with daring patterns and colours on socks, until then a dull piece of the wardrobe, and later added underwear and T-shirts. In 2015 it became the official sock of the NBA and in 2016 of MLB. Stance calls its ambassadors, among them athletes, musicians and artists, Punks & Poets.
