When Nike put this much effort into creating something, you have to take notice and I have
also been quick to purchase a pair of NikeGrip socks already and played a good couple of
games in them. On the NikeGrip socks the grip effect is one you feel, but in a very different
way and to a slightly lesser degree than with the pads on the Trusox.
NikeGrip socks give you their improved grip on your foot and boot in a far less apparent way,
because their effectiveness comes from the material the sock itself is made from. Using an
ultrafine polyester fiber, they have engineered the socks to create more contact points with
the foot and boot, with a tire tread-like feeling. It’s certainly a much more advanced way of achieving the same goal, but the
question is if the simpler way Trusox achieve it is ultimately better?
There are those who think the grip in the Trusox is a little too aggressive and distracting.
For them the new NikeGrip socks are absolutely perfect, because they help stabilise your foot, while feeling softer and more comfortable.
Like with so many things, it’s down to personal preference and you will have to decide with
yourself what you want the most-the strongest possible grip from Trusox or a more rounded
sensation of stability in your boots with the NikeGrip socks. I for one can’t wait for EURO 2016, where we get to see if any Nike athletes make the move from Trusox to NikeGrip.
If you’re a fan of the original design, then your choice is the Trusox, which you can find right
here.
If you want to try the newest innovation from Nike, then you can get a pair of the NikeGrip
