In short: crew length sport socks in mainly cotton, white, with the Esprit Boxe mark and the FOR THE GLORY line set flat and vertically on the ribbed cuff. Sold by the pair, one size. The height that does not slip inside the shoe. €12, free standard shipping.
A sport sock is judged on one thing: does it stay put? The crew length and the high ribbed cuff settle that. In boxing, where every step pivots on the ball of the foot, a low sock ends up rolled under the heel within two rounds.
The high cuff does a real job in boxing
Boxing boots are high cut: they wrap the ankle to support it. With no sock standing above the collar, the leather rubs straight on the skin on every lateral step. A crew sock acts as the interface. The same holds with shin guards, whose lower edge presses on the ankle.
The mark on the cuff
The Esprit Boxe mark runs vertically up the cuff: the boxer with raised arms at the top, a horizontal rule, then ESPRIT BOXE and FOR THE GLORY read from bottom to top. The mark sits flat, with the knit ribs still visible through it.
The vertical direction follows the ribs: the artwork stretches with the knit rather than distorting across it as the sock goes on.

Good to know before ordering
One size. The ribbed knit and the elastic fibres cover a wide range of foot sizes: there is no size to pick at checkout.
White is the classic sport colour and comes back easily: a warm water soak before washing lifts most marks from a mat or gym floor.
One pair, not a pack. The item is a single pair. For the week, order several.
Care
Wash at 30 °C / 86 °F, inside out if you prefer, to protect the knit. Skip the tumble dryer: heat relaxes the elastic fibres, and that is what makes a sport sock stop staying up. On white, a warm water soak before washing lifts most floor marks. No bleach on the knit, which yellows cotton over time.
FAQ
Does the item contain one pair or several?
One pair, so two socks. To cover a week of training, order several.
Which size should I take?
There is no choice to make: these socks come in one size. The ribbed knit and the elastic fibres cover a wide range of foot sizes.
What exactly is on the cuff?
The Esprit Boxe mark, set vertically: the boxer with raised arms, a horizontal rule, then ESPRIT BOXE and FOR THE GLORY read from bottom to top, in black on white. The mark sits flat, in the direction of the knit ribs.
Why a high sock for boxing?
Two reasons. First it does not slip under the heel: in boxing every step pivots, and a low sock ends up rolled. Second, boxing boots are high cut: with no cuff standing above the collar, the leather rubs straight on the ankle.
Can they go in the tumble dryer?
Not advisable. Heat relaxes the elastic fibres, and that is exactly what makes a sport sock stop staying up. Line dry, wash at 30 °C / 86 °F.
Are they only for boxing?
No. The crew length suits running, weights, basketball or everyday wear with trainers. The high cuff is simply particularly useful with high cut boxing boots.
