MERGE4<\/strong> is rocking the 80s in a collaboration with new wave titans Blondie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MERGE4\u2019s Blondie Sock Collection includes three striking sock designs, featuring artwork that captures their hit songs, iconic photography, and notable art style.  Each sock is constructed with MERGE4\u2019s signature \u201cCult Weave\u201d which prevents any graphics from being \u201cblown out\u201d or warped when the socks are worn and stretched. The socks feature a self-adjusting welt cuff, elastic arch support, a moisture-wicking sole and strategic plush cushioning for added comfort.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Have to be honest — the Debbie Harry pink and checkers would be our first choice. For all the details from MERGE4 please follow the jump.

MERGE4 Releases Blondie\u202fCollaboration\u202fSocks\u202f <\/p>\n

Santa Cruz-based sock brand, MERGE4, is proud to announce a brand new collaboration with the legendary band, Blondie. The collaboration features three sock designs featuring Blondie\u2019s iconic artwork. <\/p>\n

Co-founded by guitarist, Chris Stein, and singer, Deborah Harry, Blondie helped pioneer new wave music in New York during the mid-70s and quickly became acquainted with success. The band is well known for embracing a broad range of music that incorporates elements of punk, disco, pop, reggae, and early rap music. <\/p>\n

MERGE4\u2019s Blondie Sock Collection includes three striking sock designs, featuring artwork that captures their hit songs, iconic photography, and notable art style.  Each sock is constructed with MERGE4\u2019s signature \u201cCult Weave\u201d which prevents any graphics from being \u201cblown out\u201d or warped when the socks are worn and stretched. The socks feature a self-adjusting welt cuff, elastic arch support, a moisture-wicking sole and strategic plush cushioning for added comfort. <\/p>\n

\u201cBlondie is legendary\u201d says MERGE4\u2019s founder and CEO Cindi Busenhart. \u201cDebbie Harry broke down barriers in a time when there was only a handful of women in rock and roll and she is a pioneer across a multitude of musical genres.\u201d <\/p>\n

MERGE4 brings the appeal of Blondie to everyday fashion with three new socks inspired by all things Blondie. One of the new MERGE4 x Blondie socks is titled \u201cHits\u201d and combines the vibrant graphics of Blondie\u2019s hit songs \u201cHeart of Glass,\u201d \u201cDreamer,\u201d \u201cOne Way or Another,\u201d and \u201cCall me.\u201d Another sock in the collection focuses on Blondie\u2019s classic black and white photography, highlighting an iconic photograph of Debbie Harry. The final MERGE4 x Blondie sock in this series is a pop art portrait of Debbie Harry by artist Billy Perkins. The three designs offer something different, but each of these MERGE4 x Blondie socks are fit for any Blondie fan. <\/p>\n

One way or another, Blondie continues to be massively influential and internationally recognized for their pioneering style. <\/p>\n
