Inspired by african tribes, positive vibes and 90's street culture.

Zulu Zion presents you socks that are designed to bring a combination of vivid colors and unexpected patterns - stepping away from the traditional stripes and polka dots,away from the classic navy blue and the 'always safe' black. Zulu Zion is stepping into the world where people are not afraid of colors and patterns are their means of communication. Zulu Zion is stepping into Africa, where we find inspiration to create and design - for you, for us.

1. BOLD, VIBRANT COLORS

When designing the socks, vibrant colors were the only option we would consider for production. The whole Zulu Zion positive vibe can only be expressed with the use of such vivid colors – dullness and darkness just didn't fit the equation.

2. GRAPHIC PATTERN

This is what sets our socks apart from the rest. We sourced our inspiration in african tribes, 90's hip hop cultural  and fashion movement and reinterpreted these into our own designs. We wanted to step away from the stripes, squares and polka dots and create something different, unexpected  but still fashion forward.

3. PREMIUM QUALITY - 100% MADE IN EUROPE

All of our socks are made from quality materials – we use Italian thread which is a synonym for quality at its best.

4. DURABLE

Because they are made from quality and as-natural-as-possible materials, our socks will last you a long time and will not rip after just few wears.

5. FASHION FORWARD

Zulu Zion sock wear is created for people that feel confident in their style and give attention to details when choosing their outfit. For those that appreciate a quality design and don't mind setting themselves apart from the crowd. We want you to show off our socks - roll up your jeans and let the world see that style start's from the feet up.

Are you ready to see the awesomeness you will be getting in your mail, just weeks after your pledge? Here goes…

The radest of them all, you will get to choose your favorite pair from the collection.

In collaboration with an illustrator Meta Wraber we created an exclusive Kickstarter design T-shirt. The design is silk screen printed on 100% cotton T-shirts.

In collaboration with the multi-talented Ada Hamza, we created custom leather backpacks in Zulu Zion color scheme and used the patterns as the lining.

In collaboration with MURKSLI Customboards, we created a long board that not only cruzes smoothly, but looks damn good too. Made of high quality local wood it features a custom Zulu Zion design.

Looks great and can't wait to hit the PLEDGE button, but what can I get for my money, right? Let's sum it up for you.

As two creative people with a lot of ideas on their minds, we knew we would one day start something that will move us one step away from being just an idea we had in our head. After working for several years on commercial graphic design and various projects, Miha finally decided it was time to stop doing what he was doing at that moment, and start working on fulfilling his creative needs. We talked about making socks several times before, but it always stayed at the idea stage, never really moving any further than that. 

See, we are both fans of colors and graphic prints – but when it comes to socks, we were both buying something that was either colorful or had an interesting pattern – but rarely was the case that we found a sock that offered both. And quite frankly, we were sick of choosing between stripes or polka dots. So we decided to create socks that we wanted to wear. Socks that we envisioned and wanted to make reality. Having moved to the country side, we immediately jumped in action.

We were lucky to have found a family-owned factory that produced socks for over two generations, just minutes away from our new flat. How destined was that, right?

We quickly started sketching and searching for inspiration. We found out we listened to a whole lot of african music, and so we searched for african tribes and immediately got immersed in their culture of clothing and paternity.

We are both also huge fans of the early 90's street culture and listen to a lot of old school hip hop, jazz and african music - all of this served as an inspiration when designing the Zulu Zion sock wear line and forming the brand identity you see in our campaign.

We love the community Kickstarter has built and have a great respect for all backers. We feel every much psyched about your pledges as you do and we can't wait to deliver some awesome socks to your feet. Because the world of apparel works on bulk quantities, the money raised with this campaign will be mainly used for two reasons:

1. to cover the costs of production of the 9 designs presented in the campaign and if the funding exceeds the initial goal, 

2. we will be able to offer these designs in other color combinations, as currently we are limited in that matter. But just imagine what we could do if we would have threads in colors we really, really wanted? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

But of course, we are not looking at this as a one-hit wonder. We have great plans for Zulu Zion in the near future. And with your help, we will be able to expand the sock wear line and offer a wide range of accessories along with it.
