Rototo - Checkerboard Crew Sock - Ivory, Yellow. Checkerboard has made its way back into the zeitgeist, and to be honest...we think it should've never gone away. Being from the city or race cars, we're definitely into a little checkered flag action. It's nice, after years of seeing bad versions of these, to get a high-quality made-in-Japan version. It's also nice to see something different as they offer it in so many colors. This has to be the one we were most excited about! The early 1980s saw a surge in ska music’s popularity mainly in London. The checkerboard motif is known as the symbol of 2 Tone Records, one of the initiators of the boom. Featuring the iconic pattern, these crew socks are carefully manufactured by a special machine to make the yarn ends on the backside of the pattern knitted in for a smooth feel. The eye-catching design will surely accentuate your look. Made in Japan.
