At John’s Crazy Socks, we have loyal customers who love their socks. Our customers are full of ideas for colorful, fun socks and we want to see those ideas. We want you to let loose your inner sock designer. Enter our 2024 Sock Design Contest and let us see your design.
The 2024 Sock Design Contest has a top prize of $1,000 cash. Even better, John will produce your socks, we will sell them in our store and you will become sock famous.
“Our customers have great ideas for socks,” said John Cronin, co-founder of John’s Crazy Socks. “I can’t wait to see the designs you will submit for our contest.”

Previous Sock Design Contest Winners
Last year, the winning design came from Jerome Scriptunas of Freehold, New Jersey who put tree images on a sock. These led to our Plant Trees Athletic Crew Socks. Those socks support our new charity partner, the New York Restoration Project, a nonprofit nature conservancy stewarding parks, community gardens, and green space throughout New York City.
In 2022, Erin and Bear Bonner designed the Wheels on Fire socks that have become a customer favorite. Those socks support the Viscardi Center. And the 2021 winner, Sierra Sapack, designed ASL I Love You socks using images from American Sign Language and they raise money for the Lexington School for the Deaf.
