ELITE-1

Our previous sock the PRO 3.0 was made to better than what already existed on the market. The ELITE-1 is a completely different sock - engineered to be in a category of it's own.

Grip Performance
The ELITE-1 is engineered with our CompoundX grip interface. These are immediately tactile in hand, 350microns thin, flexible, breathable, and actively adapt to heat, pressure, and movement. The previous DuraGrip was ultra-suede, not very flexible, and didn't adapt to its conditions.

Base Material
The ELITE-1 uses our UltraDri Eco Polyamide blend. It's 95% more breathable, 300% more durable, and 33% lighter than the old PRO 3.0 material.

Dry Toe Material + Holes
The ELITE-1 UltraDri blend wicks away moisture, is softer, more durable, more densely knitted - but also more breathable and lighter. We have eradicated the toe holes that the PRO 3.0 struggled with after 6+ months of use.

The ELITE-1 uses our Gen-2 ExoFrame®. The external frame has been re-engineered for improved fit, feel, and power transfer. An integrated internal frame now delivers medical-grade compression to stabilise the ankle and reduce fatigue.

CompoundX is a truly unique grip material. It actively adapts to its conditions. Under heat and pressure it stretches and flexes to provide a wider surface area for grip. In moisture, the structure wicks water away and through the surface of the sock so it can be wicked away.

Engineered to provide unprecedented levels of grip, lockdown, and confidence - but in the thinnest, lightest, most breathable, most flexible package possible - to the point that the pads feel ‘invisible’ when worn.

We've tested the socks extensively to the point of destruction, and found that a pair will perform for between 3-6 months depending on volume and intensity of use. This is why we recommend to our Pro players and to you that players rotate 2-3 pairs.

The CompoudX® material is NOT designed to last forever - in a similar way to how an F1 tyre degrades during the course of a race.

The grip pads are structurally designed to adapt. This means that the initial hexagonal surface texture wears in over time and leaves the micro textured grip surface below. The material is designed to degrade slowly over time - this is the secret to how it is able to adapt, stretch, and flex wit your foot.

You may find that some of the grip pads around the ball of your foot, particularly dependent on your foot shape will wear faster than other parts of your foot. This is determined by your biomechanics.

If you're on a size boundary - you must size down. The ELITE-1 is engineered to be an athletic close fit. We have 3 sizes:

UK: 4-6 | US: 5-7 | EU: 36-39

UK: 7-9 | US: 8-10 | EU: 40-43

UK: 10-12 | US: 11-13 | EU: 44-46

Because we think internal grip pads are a gimmicky 'solution' to a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

For years, internal grip has been used to compensate for socks that move around inside the boot. Instead of fixing the fit, manufacturers over-engineer the problem and add grip material inside.

it's like making a glove that's too big or doesn't fit - and then fixing it by adding grip inside. Instead of fixing the actual glove.

It's insane.

Internal grip pads can create hot spots, add unnecessary weight, retain water and interfere with how the sock sits against the foot. More importantly, they are usually there because the sock itself isn't doing its job.

Internal slippage comes from a few things:

A. The sock is too big.
B. The sock isn't anatomically designed around the foot.
C. The material stretches, moves or holds moisture under pressure.
D. Lateral forces exceed the sock's ability to maintain its position on the foot.

We solved the problem differently.

The ELITE-1 is engineered to wrap around the shape of your foot and maintain that fit under pressure - at high speed, through changes of direction and in all weather conditions.

With 12–18 mmHg of active compression, a higher elastane content and an anatomical construction designed to move with the foot, the ELITE-1 maintains contact where it matters.

So rather than adding grip inside the sock to stop a poorly fitting sock from moving, we engineered the sock so it doesn't need to move in the first place.

No internal grip pads. Because a properly engineered sock shouldn't need them.
