There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

I've been super impressed with the end results. Our staff and friends have been testing out these socks for months and we're positive these are these best bang for the buck socks available anywhere. We took the already popular Trail Cuff, and made it a bit softer to the touch, made it a little thinner so you can wear this in the summer (the Trail Cuff is too thick/warm for that), and improved upon the Tron-esque aesthetics.
I'm thrilled we're working with Fitsok on this adventure. They are very well known in the running world. Fitsok is the athletic brand of The Sock Factory. All socks are dyed and manufactured in Hickory, North Carolina in their factory. A little known secret in the sock world is that there are only a few sock factories in the US, and a lot of brands outsource to these few. So rather than go with Brand X, who then acts as a go-between for us and the factory, we've gone direct. The end result is that we have more control over the socks being made, the process is faster, and we can negotiate a better value for you as we have eliminated the middleman.
The socks come in a 3-pack of all black, or mixed green/gray/light gray. I'm getting one of each. We also made sure to offer an XXL for our big-feeted friends. And since these are made in the US, the turnaround time is a lot faster - the socks will ship out in April!
Size 11.5 is conspicuously excluded in the sizing chart.
