Maestro Sox - New Player In The Anti-Slip Socks Market, Tapedesign Copy/Rival?
Nov 10, 2021, by Chris
Almost 10 years ago, a football equipment revolution started with the release of the TRUsox. The anti-slip football socks were soon worn by hundreds of professionals despite having no endorsement deals. Since then, many new companies entered the market to rival TRUsox. A new player in the game is Maestro Sox, a company from the USA.
Maestro Grip Sox 1.0 Anti-Slip Football Socks
Maestro aim is to offer "affordable high-performing premium quality grip socks for all athletes worldwide". The socks are "made by athletes for athletes". The socks are called "Grip Sox 1.0".
The Maestro Grip Sox 1.0 anti-slip socks are made for grip, improved stability, and security while still offering comfort.
The socks are fairly similar to Tapedesign's socks
In contrast to TRUsox, the Maestro socks only have rubber knobs pads on the bottom outside.
We have been sent four pairs of the Maestro grip socks
We have been sent four pairs of the Maestro grip socks. They have a very similar approach as the socks of Tapedesign, an Austrian company whose socks are possibly the most popular among players today.
In fact, the socks of Maestro have very similar rubber pads as Tapedesign. The materials offer a bit more comfort than the ultra-performance Tapedesign socks.
The price and quality are top
The quality of the Maestro socks, meanwhile, is superb, and the prices are very fair (15 USD / pair).

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
