    DETAILS AND INSPIRATIONS

    Haka is a ceremonial dance of Maori in New Zealand. It used to be a cheering dance before the wars. The most well-known performance is from the New Zealand national rugby team ‘All Blacks’, who danced HAKA every time before each game. The traditional culture pays respect to both the opponents and audiences. This dance does not only proclaim strength, but also to provoke against the opponents.
    Haka is not only performed before the games, but also performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, gatherings, occasions or funerals for memorizing and admiring the ancestors.
    Generally, the HAKA performed by the All Blacks is called Ka Mate. HAKA differs based on occasions. The performers mostly do stamping of the feet, slapping against the body, protruding of the tongue and staring wildly. The contents of performance describe the ancestors and major events in the history.

    WHY FLIPPOS

    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

    CARE

    • We recommended that the best washing method is hand washing which could extend the use life for the products.
    • FLIPPOS recommend to place the socks into a laundry bag when machine washing. The water temperature should be below 30 °C and use a neutral lotion (pH between 6-8).
    • Please do not use bleach, fluorescent whitening agents, clothing softeners and avoid immersion in functional detergents for too long.
    • Avoid powdery detergent, because if the micro-slits on the socks are blocked, it is equivalent to losing some of the function.
    • If you have any doubts about whether your laundry detergent will cause fading, please wash it separately.
    • Please wash the dark and light colors separately and do not soak and dry clean.
    • Avoid direct sunlight and dryers, for compression functional products, please use a dry in the shade.
