relacks is a Japanese sock brand developed by GLEN CLYDE, a sock manufacturer founded in Tokyo in 1992 by Mitsuru Hashimoto. With “relax × socks” as its theme, the brand offers socks knitted using specialized machines to reduce the feeling of tightness while allowing them to stretch well both lengthwise and widthwise. The brand originated from a request by an acquaintance involved in caregiving for socks that were easy to put on. Its features include a free size that fits 23–27.5 cm and supportive elastic around the ankles and instep. The range centers on solid colors and stripes, with unisex styles suited to everyday use.
