Elton John Wants You to Be ‘Unapologetically Yourself’ In New Happy Socks Collection
All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.
Happy Socks is taking us down the yellow brick road with a new collaboration inspired by Elton John. Titled the Elton John Special Edition Unapologetically Yourself Collection, the brand is encouraging you to embrace your bold side with crew socks inspired by the “Rocket Man” singer’s vibrant fashion and hit singles.
Fans will have the option to choose from eight different sock styles boasting designs ranging from a denim patterned “Blue Jean Baby” pair of socks to a cobalt blue “Rocket Man”-themed pair. And, if you’re looking for thoughtful gifts for music lovers, Happy Socks has put together two gift sets that include up to six pairs of socks from the Elton John collection and can be paired with his upcoming book about his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
The collaboration is a part of a special-edition collection, which means only a limited amount of socks were made, and once it’s sold-out there won’t be more restocked. So, if you’re a collector, make sure your merch collection is refreshed with these exclusive sock styles while they’re still in stock.
