Maya shows a jaguar, the Mayan spirit animal, leaping out of the jungle. In Mayan mythology, the jaguar could change itself into a fire spirit and rain spirit protecting the people of the tribe. In the background is the pyramid of Chichen Itza, a World Heritage Site and the most famous remnant of Maya civilization. When the sock is flipped, Mayan warriors appear to be hunting the jaguar in a metaphor for the demise of the Maya civilization -- a warning that the Earth may only be sustained through symbiosis and coexistence with the environment.
FLIPPOS MCP (Maze Cushioning Plus)
The Maya civilization was one of the most important ancient cultures in human history. Originating in the Yucatán Peninsula of present-day Mexico, it began around 2600 BC and had largely disappeared by around AD 1100. Although the Maya were a jungle-based civilization and remained in the Neolithic age, they achieved remarkable advances in astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, art, and writing.
The reasons behind the collapse of the Maya civilization remain widely debated. Among the many theories, one of the most widely accepted is that continuous deforestation and land clearing in pursuit of more habitable and productive land ultimately damaged the natural environment and contributed to their downfall.
Ironically, thousands of years later, human greed and desire have only intensified. We are now facing the consequences of our own actions. If we fail to reflect and change course, the decline of modern civilization may not be as far away as we imagine.
#FLIPPOS Socks Design
This design features the jaguar, a sacred creature in Maya culture, leaping out from the jungle. In Maya belief, the jaguar was associated with divine power and could take the form of deities such as the gods of fire and rain, protecting the people of the tribe. In the background stands the Pyramid of Chichén Itzá, one of the most iconic remains of the Maya civilization and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
When FLIPPOS Socks are flipped down, the scene appears to show the Maya hunting the jaguar. In fact, it serves as a metaphor for the downfall of the Maya civilization—reminding us that only by living in harmony with nature can we achieve a truly sustainable future.
The original idea of FLIPPOS hosiery is to create a pair of compression stocking fulfilling functions in every way. You could wear it to the office and exercise after work as well. Simply with ONE SAME pair of stocking.
Considering that most people either sit or stand for a long time for work in which cause the fatigue condition upon feet and calf, we develop our hosiery to apply ‘graduated compression’ from the sole of the foot to calf to improve this situation.
Additionally, wearing FLIPPOS during exercise could reduce muscle vibration effectively, produce greater strength, and improve the speed of fatigue recovery after exercising.
Flip the length, flip the attitude.
In order to cater for any occasion and any outfit, FLIPPOS creates the first compression hosiery that can be folded. You could wear it knee-high or fold it to the calf. The item can be transformed into socks within seconds.
★Length BEFORE flipping: Knee-High
★Length AFTER flipping: 18cm above ankle
FLIPPOS MCP (Maze Cushioning Plus)
FLIPPOS’ ultimate goal is the pursuit of the ultimate product. This time we have upgraded our original patented maze cushioning to strengthen the sole’s “knitted maze damping.” Both the hardness and the rebound speed are significantly improved, so when running, jumping or climbing, the notable shock-absorbing effect means no loss of power and full athletic release.
