Made in Japan, these socks from Nonnative are a nice, colour-blocked option for spring. The ribbed top cuff, and mixed knit pattern are interesting additions to a simple half-length sock.

—01. Made in USA?
A preview of the latest Wtaps collaboration with Vans from the pages of Grind magazine. The colours, materials, and models all appear to be well-chosen, but the most exciting thing about this release is that the shoes are rumoured to be made in the US. If that's true, and all of the old details are in place, it's a huge development that will make a lot of people very happy indeed.
