Editor’s note: The Stance name was taken in Canada so the sock company will work under the Instance name there
Press Release:
Vancouver, Canada, July 7th, 2011 — Beginning Spring 2012, Canadians can kick off those winter boots to reveal a new realm of stylistic expression! Garret Louie, co-owner of Timebomb Trading Inc. is proud to announce that Timebomb will be the exclusive Canadian distributor for INSTANCE; an exciting new brand that is revolutionizing the sock industry.
Designed and created in San Clemente, California, INSTANCE represents expression and embraces the spirit of individuality. The intent is to create a commune of creativity and bond of boldness. In short, it’s about a declaration of self.
The sock rebellion known as INSTANCE, was born out of desire and necessity. The INSTANCE product line offers six categories to choose from; casual, performance, art series, reserve, snow and a kid’s line appropriately called ‘Ankle Biters’.
A departure from the old guard, INSTANCE products have a unique style that takes an individualistic approach to a long time commoditized category.
INSTANCE has paired pro-athletes, artists and story-tellers from around the world that embody their own spirit of individuality and self-expression. Punks, poets and personalities whose feats inspire bold individuality.
Collectively, they catalyze the pursuit of creative expression as both a worthy destination and a way of life. From free-thinkers Jason Jessee and ‘the Lizard King’ to riders Andrew Reynolds and Mikey Leblanc, to artists Russ Pope and Don Pendleton, INSTANCE has gathered together a group of connoisseurs who show talent, attitude and energy.
In a review from Bomb Flow Magazine, T.O writes “The collection of foot-warmers by this crew definitely fits with their motto: ‘uncommon threads.’ I enjoy the craftsmanship in materials as well as artwork, and also the variety in price ranges offered. I hate getting a pair of ski socks for Christmas, only to find them falling apart after one season. I truly believe my Stance socks will last a few!!”
Selling coed socks exclusively shows the commitment that INSTANCE has to creating quality product, setting them apart from any other brand on the market today.
