Hey guys, 

Hope you're doing great. Its been a while since our second project came to an end. But I just want to let you know about a new kind of project we recently launched  - Movie Socks! We're up to 80% funded with 10 days left to go. If you like movies, you might just like one or two designs in our movie socks collection.

Click to see the new project.

Also if you enjoyed our previous gamer socks designs, we have a 50% off sale on Etsy all this month. We now have much faster delivery times, usually 5-10 days depending on location. The sale includes all the designs from our 3rd project - including Sonic, Bowser, Mario Kart and Duck Hunt!

Thanks for your time and hope to see you on a future project. Stay safe.

Hey guys, 

Hope you're keeping safe and well in these strange times. This is just a quick reminder that Sock Invaders 3.0 is coming to an end in less than 2 days. Here are some highlights:

1. Over 200% funded! Thanks to many of you who came back to support this project.

200% funded and more backers than the lasty project. Thanks for making that possible!

2. One of the designs from 2.0 was made a stretch goal for this one and it won the vote! So last year's Nintendo design is back.. in purple. As our guest artist had intended. 

Stretch Goal #2 - unlocked!

3. Other stretch goals unlocked include the Blue Mario Kart design - and a new, modified Dr Mario design, now featuring the main character and germs. 

Two new designs coming to this project!

Once again, thanks to everyone who backed us for a second or third time. If you have ideas for better designs or games we could make. Or if you want to help feedback on our upcoming movie socks range, please find us on Facebook @SockInvaders (or clicking the image above) and let us know your thoughts. Stay safe and well guys and hopefully we can all get out the house again soon.

Black Friday Sale (and other news)
over 4 years ago – Sat, Nov 23, 2019 at 01:34:11 AM

Hello! Happy winter holidays to everyone!

Black Friday Sale

With today being Black Friday and following a few messages from previous backers, i've reluctantly put the store back online for a couple of weeks. So if you're looking for more socks over winter, or some stocking fillers or a little gift for a friend or family member - feel free to visit the store below. Orders by December 4th should make it anywhere in the world before Christmas Day. Some designs are as low as $4 (£3) so please do check that out!

(Order by December 4th for guaranteed delivery before Christmas).

Movie Socks Update

So for anyone following our progress so far, we've produced over 100 designs for this project so far, around 30 different concepts and we'll reduce that down to 8 for the main project. Below are the latest designs, with variations on Pulp Fiction, Aliens, Jaws, Cast Away, Inception, Batman and Blues Brothers. If you like any of them, please let me know the letters in the comments please. Also keen to hear any ideas or suggestions. I hope to launch this sometime in January, so next message should be to announce we're ready to go.

Delivery Issues

For a small number of people, this second project ended up having some additional complications due to Backerkit. I believe every issue has now been resolved one way or another. Some extra pairs that were promised due to delays are scheduled to be sent out by next week. So if that's the case for you, please bare with me and send a PM if you're unsure if this applies to you.

2019 

Thanks for your wonderful support this year. You guys blow me away with every message! Hope to bring out our best designs yet next year. I'm also planning to move to shenzhen in China to teach there and be close to the factory and fulfilment company for the next 2 projects. So i'm really trying my best to make this quicker and easier for next time. 

Thanks again!

The Final Update - Tracking Info and Movie Socks Designs
over 4 years ago – Sat, Oct 05, 2019 at 05:59:35 PM

Hey folks!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Hopefully this is the last update, as packages have been arriving over the last month and the feedback has been really nice so far. Please keep your thoughts and opinions coming.

Feedback Survey

Firstly, if you received your socks and feel like helping to ensure the next batch are the right length, size and tightness, please take a moment to answer a few simple questions below. All feedback is greatly appreciated!

Click to answer the short feedback survey

TRACKING INFO

All tracking numbers were sent out, as long as you provided a valid email address. But i think many have gone to spam mail. So please search your emails for "delivery note" and you should find it. I will try to resend the one's where people requested it. If you still can't find it, please can you message me with your email address or full name so it'll be much quicker and easier to find it. 

If you have your tracking number but can't figure out where your package is, please check your tracking number in one of the below apps until it make sense in your language. In some small cases, it may be sent with a specific carrier and you have to check their website...

Delivery Issues

Compared to last time - deliveries have been much better so far. We've had one pair with a hole in them and they're being replaced, someone received 4 pairs too many (no idea how that happened) and a couple of bonus pairs are missing and being sent out separately. A couple of deliveries haven't been able to be delivered but will be sent out again. Nothing major so far.

Movie Socks Update

In total, we've made about 60-70 designs now for 13 different movies. We'll probably reduce that down to the best 8 and i really need your feedback over the next few weeks to pick the best colors and also suggest new ideas or imagery we can use. We're in this together guys, so please join us on facebook today if you haven't already, or click the image below. Hoping to launch the next project around December or January.

Sock Invaders 3.0

We have 3 designs finished so far, so hoping to launch that around next April. But it's a long way off and a lot can change.

Thanks for everything on this project guys, Any further thoughts, anything i've missed, any problems or compliments, please let me know. I still can't believe you guys back me to do a job i'm dangerously unqualified to do! But look forward to seeing how far this adventure can go.
