Overview

ROSTER SOX is a sock specialty brand founded in Japan in 2012. Representative and designer Iguchi, who devoted himself to baseball from his student days, draws on the meaning behind the baseball term “roster” (registration on the first-team roster) to develop Made-in-Japan sports socks that continue to be produced domestically. The brand is centered on combining functionality and design, with the aim of making socks the focus of style rather than a supporting accessory. The brand is also stocked in Korea and Europe.

Within TAMANIWA’s group of original brands, this is the core line specializing in socks. The name ROSTER derives from the baseball term for a player’s place on the first-team roster. Centered on sports socks made in Japan using functional materials, the line offers products that also incorporate design elements. It includes patterns and graphics that are easy to incorporate into everyday outfits, and serves not only a practical purpose but also introduces elements of baseball and American sports through footwear. Whereas POTEN specializes in caps and INFIELDER DESIGN spans multiple categories, ROSTER SOX focuses functionality and design on socks. It is also the parent brand that extends its aesthetic to the offshoot brand ROSTER BEAR.
