F4L 1030 Unisex Cotton 'Shima-socks'

The new Model 1030 'Shima-socksu' striped opaque 'nīsokkusu' from First4Legwear are a classic design, but based on the famous 'Shima-socksu' (over-the-knee striped stockings) which are known and loved by fans ('otaku') of Japanese 'anime' and 'manga' worldwide, as they are famously worn by many 'anime' heroines! They come in green/white and red/white horizontal stripe. One size. They are made from soft, stretchy cotton/nylon/elastane, and are incredibly comfortable, and heavier and warmer than the existing model 1020.

So whether you are a fan of Japanese animations or comics, or into 'cosplay', or just like striped socks, these are the ones for you!
