Wait, What Happened to the Store?

Wait, What Happened to the Store?

Hi, it’s John and Mark.

We haven’t gone anywhere.

After nine wonderful years of shipping socks around the world, creating meaningful jobs, and spreading happiness, we’ve decided to pause our direct-to-consumer online store.

This pause is intentional.

We’re taking time to reflect on everything we’ve learned, streamline what worked best, and rebuild the store so we can be stronger, more focused, and even more joyful. When we return in 2026, it will be with an updated version of John’s Crazy Socks, rooted in the same mission we’ve always had: spreading happiness and showing what people with differing abilities can do.

In the meantime:

  • Our custom socks and business services continue
  • In 2026, we will reintroduce our Sock of the Month
  • We can’t wait to show you what we are working on to make the store even better.
  • Our broader mission lives on through Abilities Rising

Most importantly, John’s Crazy Socks is not closing.

We’re building what comes next.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

We can’t wait to share what’s ahead.

Out of My Way, Mortals Men’s Crew Sock

Out of My Way, Mortals Socks

"Out of my way, mortals!”  Would you ever say that?  Even under your breath?  Putting these socks on in the morning is a way of expressing this sentiment without sounding like an egotistical maniac.  But couldn’t we all benefit with a healthy dose of Out of my way, mortals?  Because to me, it translates into Self Confidence.

Joe Namath was once quoted as saying, “When you have confidence you can have a lot of fun.  And when you have fun you can do amazing things.”  These socks are definitely fun, in a way that men seldom express.  

What Namath is saying is: Don’t compare yourself to others.  Don’t stress the little things—relax!  Remember you are a gift, a superhero in your own way.  Look for the good, even in seemingly negative situations.  Do what you love.

I challenge anyone to put these socks on without smiling.  We may, somewhere down deep, feel like saying, Out of my way, mortals.  During the course of the day, you may remember this sentiment and smile again.  It not only means you have the confidence to do what you do, but that you are on your way.  Moving and steering yourself in any direction you decide, not just thinking about it. 

And when you pull the socks off at night, you can decide, did I leap past those mere mortals?  Then you can smile again.
Note: "Outta my way, mortals" appears on only the right-hand side of both socks.
