The Original 365 Pro Sock v2.0

The v2.0 Upgrades

At Hard Yards, we’re always seeking ways to improve and optimise. Just as athletes go the extra mile to up their game, we go further and consider every part of your socks, because every part matters. It’s these 1% differences that make or break every training session, match and season. Our approach to re-designing our Original 365 Pro Sock was go back to our athletes and ask them what they needed to perform at their best and these were the 5 key upgrades they wanted in each pair.

1. Double the grip, double the power → Once athletes wear our grip socks, they tell us they cannot go back to wearing a regular sock! The foundational tech unique to every Hard Yards sock is the medical-grade silicone grip both inside & out which ensures you make every step count by locking your shoe-sock-and foot as one unit, giving you maximum grip on the floor and optimising your power.

2. Enhanced ankle support → Our wrap-around arch and ankle stabilisation offers improved stability and protects your most vulnerable joints, giving you the edge to outmanoeuvre your opponents. Stay agile, focused, and dominate every move with confidence.

3. Step on clouds → We re-worked the cushioning across the ankle, heel and toe areas to improve the shock absorption, reducing the impact of high-intensity jumps, quick cuts, and hard landings. Foot fatigue is now a thing of the past.

4. Cool, calm, collected → Don't let sweat distract your game. We combined moisture-wicking cotton with new custom ventilation zones to optimise the airflow and breathability of the sock. Cool, dry, and blister-free = locked in, focussed and pain-free.

5. All-season durability → We heard athletes being unhappy with just how quickly standard socks on the market wear out and lose their elasticity as a result of the physical demands of their sport. The all new OG 365 Pro v2.0 sock are an investment in your long-term game and so we re-engineered the very fabric of them to withstand the intense wear and tear they will face, ensuring your feet are protected and the socks last you through the season.

The Grip

We teamed up with PremGripp™ to take what is possible with grip socks to the next level :

1. Medical-grade silicone for our grips → the smooth flexible silicone lasts longer, prevents blisters and creates the strongest grip on the market.
2. Grips inside + outside of the sock → the sock grips both your foot and your shoe = double the grip.
3. Arranging the grips in an ‘off-set’ pattern → prevents pressure points created by grips stacked on top of each other and allows the grips to work in all directions.

These 3 patented features give you unrivalled grounding and power transfer with every stride.

Pro Tips

Here’s some great advice from our founders and pro athletes:

1. Wash before first wear.

• We highly recommend this step as an initial wash will encourage the fibres to shrink by 3-5% ensuring a snug and secure fit the first time you wear them giving the very best contact for the silicone to grip the bottom of your foot. This initial shrinkage will then stretch out around the natural contours of your foot over the first few wears giving a more bespoke and comfortable fit. You absolutely do not have to do this step, the grip will still work very well, however you will not get the most out of the socks on the first wear.

2. Pull-on well to ensure a form fit and full contact of your foot with the internal grip
3. If you are between sizes or at the lower end of a size (eg, size 8), always size down; you need the sock to be snug for the to be effective.
