[Navajo Code Windtalkers MCP]
The Navajo (Navajo Indian) are the largest surviving indigenous group in North America, with the largest Indian reservation in the United States. The Navajo have their own unique language and culture, and because the Navajo language has a complex structure, it was used as a military code by the U.S. Army during World War II.
Especially in the 1945 battle to capture Iwo Jima in Japan, the U.S. military specially recruited Navajos to use the mysterious Navajo code to accurately transmit intelligence to the U.S. forces, becoming the greatest contributors to the U.S. military's capture of Iwo Jima. Hong Kong director John Woo also made this story into the Hollywood movie "Windtalkers."
The Navajo who participated in the war said: "We are proud to have fought for our country in our native language during World War II."
After India gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947, the caste system was officially abolished by law, making discrimination based on caste illegal. However, in reality, the influence of the caste system can still be seen in daily life. Nevertheless, the Indian government, which has experienced multiple changes in political parties and has had two Dalit presidents, continues to strive for democracy and human rights equality to overturn the deeply ingrained caste system in the hearts of most Indians.

The caste system is an ancient social hierarchy, with the Indian caste system culture being the most representative, and this culture is built upon the Hindu concept of reincarnation. The caste system comprises four major castes, which divide Indians into Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (farmers and merchants), and Sudras (slaves or laborers) according to their social standing. There are significant differences in marriage, justice, social welfare, and status depending on the caste.

#ReversibleSocksDesign
[Navajo Code MCP]
The Mohicans reversible socks, utilizing a classic Native American design, feature turquoise as the main color, which is considered a sacred object by Native Americans. The Navajo, in particular, believe that turquoise is the spirit of the blue sky and sea, a symbol of divine power. They wear turquoise ornaments to pray for wealth and longevity.
Different from the Mohicans design, the flipped side features an eagle totem symbolizing the US military in World War II, expressing how minority groups in mainstream society still preserve their cultural traditions and contribute to the world.
[The Dalit - Ganesha MCP]
Inspired by traditional Indian body art, Henna (Mehendi in Hindi) refers to the henna plant. It spread from Egypt to the Middle East five thousand years ago, then to India, becoming a symbol of auspiciousness and blessings, and an indispensable part of traditional Indian festivals and weddings. In early India, henna was traditionally applied by people of lower castes for those of higher status. However, with the changing times, henna has transformed into an art form that anyone can learn, regardless of age or profession.
The overall design is inspired by the concrete image of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom. Elements include the Mandala found in traditional totems, which represents the center of all things and the symbol of the entire universe. FLIPPOS deeply believes that human beliefs stem from thought, so we incorporated the Sahasrara (crown chakra), which opens wisdom and enhances thinking, into the image. Paired with Ganesha's lotus seat, it signifies maintaining a pure heart and that gratitude brings happiness. When the socks are reversed, we make the original light color the main body, symbolizing that henna has been painted on our skin, empowering us with energy, joy, and good luck mentally and psychologically.
