Nike Swift Olympic Hockey Socks

I guess we know who bought those 100 pairs and screwed up their inventory

Rivercitysports.com was selling them at 60% off.... not sure if they still have them tho.

[VakarLajos 5]

RiverCity sold out. Some guy came in and ordered 100 pairs of them.....I wonder what he did with them? Probably kept one and gave the rest to friends and under-privileged bantams.

All Im saying is:

Coming from a HS player - HS kids wont care about being given a puck.

Not many coaches are going to go put it on a plaque, so just tell them "Good job tonight Johnny, keep up the good work."

Not the most loving price but...

called it the first time I heard a guy came in and bought almost all of the stock.

Thats what they said to me when I ordered a pair they said was in stock, called acouple weeks later and wondered where they were and thats what they said. Bastard <_<

I know how that feels

I have worn the Swift socks for a few games now. I like how the socks are so snug that I do not use tape at all. However, these socks are so snug that when I take them off after the game, my calf has the impression of the seams and back mesh of the socks on it! I am Theo Fleury size, BTW.

Thanks for the reminder to all of us who don't have any (yet)

[DarkStar50 680]

Just want you to know what to expect if you ever get a pair. :lol: Unlike top end skates, these socks don't add squat to your game. ;)

Really? Mine aren't nearly that tight...size Regular.

Have you had the fun of falling in them yet? JR warned me...I hit the ice wearing my EDGE socks, and slide just about Blue line to Blue line *L* I'd assume swift are roughly the same experience.

[VakarLajos 5]

I don't slide too much when I hit the ice. Maybe a little more than normal socks, but nothing crazy.

They are ok. I wear them now because it's what I have in my hockey bag. I've found that I still need to wear tape and they're harder to get on because of an exposed velcro patch holds onto them.

The spandex up top on the thigh is nice, but thats about the only feature that I love.

For $10 they were an awesome pair. For $50? Forget it.

Jeez, I don't check this site one day and I get shut out on the Swift socks again.

Imagine me wearing them, they are tight before I put shin pads on!

In my opinion, not unhappy about the original price but swift socks pretty much suck.

[VakarLajos 5]

Another thing I've noticed is that after a game or two tape doesn't stick very well. I don't know if it has to do with body oils or what, but clear tape starts to come loose.

[chef_ducky 0]

try electric tape...It works for me!

[TBLfan 25]

I didnt have that issue(I tape the lower part of the shit so it doesn't shift). I like the top part of the sock. The stripe feels plasticy and kind of cheap. I was not impressed.

I agree. After a while it cracks too. I'd like to try the Edge socks to compare.

[TBLfan 25]

Same here, I bet EDGE is much better.

yeah... I'm hearing mixed reviews but for everyone who got them for 9.99 from river city (should has been me as well) then it was def. worth the gamble

35 on the other hand, see yah later....

[pisani34 10]

definately happy with them for what i paid (9.99), never use tape and i love them for the velcro tabs. The only thing i dislike, like others have mentioned, is the super cheapo feeling/looking stripe

[RadioGaGa 162]

My only complaint with EDGE is that they don't have velcro...so you have to go back to garters.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

I have a pair of EDGE and they are too big for me. XL. Wasn't getting that tight fit at all.

SO the EDGE wont stick to Velcro, like Itech's shorts?
