World Cup Merch We Love: Happy Socks
With only a few days left until the World Cup officially kicks off (eeep!), we thought we’d showcase one last bit of footy related merch before we’re inundated with all the excitement, drama, and football hotties our secret chocolate stashes can handle.
In celebration of the biggest football comp in the world, Happy Socks have collaborated with NY design collective Wong Wong to create a limited edition sock collection inspired by the flags and team kits of nine of the participating countries.
Teams available include England, Brazil. Les Bleus and the Oranjes, who’ve been killing it with their own brand of WC related swag. No Spain unfortch, so we’ll just have to play footsies with Iker barefoot instead.
Side note: for the image-conscious who like to co-ordinate among us, there’s also World Cup-themed make up and nails on offer.
Very cute but the fact that they don't have spain is a scandal …
OMG loving it!
I loved the Spain Nails..why is there No Spain merchandise ever???? First the flip flops and now the socks! Grrrrrrrr..If people think boycotting La Furia is gonna make them loose they are oh so very wrong.

"No Spain unfortch, so we’ll just have to play footsies with Iker barefoot instead."
Yeah, no Spain Happy Socks? Right. That makes about half the girls who watch football upset. Get in the queue to play footsie barefooted with Iker, comrades.
He is happy to be of service, I am sure.
