#5 Nike Grip Socks

Global name with performance pedigree. Used by many top-level players worldwide. 

Pros: Proven grip tech, trusted brand, alot of colours to select from.

Australian based grip sock brand - who specialise in grip socks for footballers and athletes.

Pros: Affordable, comfortable and Australian owned. The owner made the brand popular through his podcast and social media. Recently Stepzz AUS have invested a lot into influencer Marketing and making collaborations with well known NRL and A-League stars. Similar to Gripstar socks.

Cons: Grip performance fades faster than premium brands. Best for casual or training use. No pink and the range is not large. So if your team has colours outside of black, white, red and green grip socks you will need to find an alternative grip sock brand for more vibrant colors such as pink.
