Wataka Crew Length Socks
by Wataka
Celebrate the rich tapestry of African heritage with these crew-length socks, each inspired by iconic traditional patterns and artistry. Drawing from the intricate beadwork of the Zulu people, the vibrant geometric murals of the Ndebele, the earthy tones of Malian Bogolan (Mud Cloth), and the detailed Kuba cloth textiles of the Democratic Republic of Congo, these socks weave stories of identity, resilience, and cultural pride into every stitch.
Crafted from a soft, breathable cotton-polyester blend, these socks offer both comfort and style, sitting approximately 6 inches above the ankle for everyday wear. More than just a fashion statement, each pair carries a deeper meaning—honoring centuries-old traditions where patterns and colors serve as languages of identity, love, and belonging.
A portion of every purchase supports the 9Miles Project, a Cape Town-based nonprofit dedicated to mentoring and empowering at-risk youth in South Africa. By wearing these socks, you not only walk in heritage but also contribute to positive change, making every step purposeful.
Step into culture and comfort, wear the story, and give back with every stride.
