[Whale Rider MCP]
The socks depict the all-encompassing nature of marine life using the traditional Māori Moko tattoo style. The composition has the tail of the whale as the head, and the ghost manta ray in the middle is likened to a whale rider. In Māori culture, the ghost manta ray is like a massive cloak symbolizing the soul’s protector. The sea turtle in the background represents love and peace, while on the two sides the whales leaping from the water are like the whale rider silently guarding the ocean.
Because Māori live by fishing, the body has a fish hook (Hei Matau) ring in the hope that the person who owns this pair of socks will have good fortune.
[Navajo Code MCP]
Navajo Code continues to use the classic American Indian design of Mohicans, but this time the main color is turquoise. Turquoise the stone is a sacred object for American Indians, especially the Navajo for whom turquoise is the spirit of the blue sky and the sea, and a symbol of divine power. They will wear turquoise adornments on the body to pray for wealth and long life.
In addition, and different to the Mohicans design, the wings on the flipside are replaced by the eagle totem symbolizing the US military in World War II. This expresses how an ethnic minority group can still retain their cultural traditions within mainstream society and make their contribution to the world.
[Whale Rider MCP]
The Māori have a legend that their ancestors rode whales to bring the tribe through a storm to New Zealand. For them, the whale is thus a spiritual symbol of power and tradition.
Whale Rider (Te Kaieke Tohorā) is a famous novel that was later turned into an internationally acclaimed movie. The story tells of a girl, Paikea, in a patriarchal society that favors men over women. Because of her sex, she is unable to inherit the chieftain position despite the strength of her abilities. She later discovers, however, that what she has inherited is her ancestors’ ability to communicate with whales. She helps a beached whale return to the sea, and changes the fixed traditional beliefs regarding the chieftain.
In the end, the story has Paikea help whales return to their home, just as whales formerly brought her people to the land. Dealing with ideas of inheritance and environmental sustainability, Whale Rider shows that while patriarchal traditions were created by humans, they may be overturned by a mindset of destiny.
[Navajo Code MCP]
The Navajo are the largest Native American tribe in North America, with the largest Indian reservation in the United States. The Navajo have their own unique language and culture and because of the complex structure of the Navajo language, it was used as a secret code by the US military in World War II.
During the battle for Iwo Jima in 1945 in particular, the US military turned especially to Navajo troops to use their language to accurately convey information in secret, and they became the greatest heroes of the assault on the island. This is the story told by Hong Kong director John Woo in the Hollywood movie Windtalkers.
Navajo who took part in the battle have spoken of the pride they felt in using their mother language to serve their country in World War II.

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.
The compression levels adopted by FLIPPOS are the graduated compressions of 15-25 mmHg in accordance with EU regulation, which is NOT considered a high-compression medical product.
Daily wear, before and after exercise (running, cycling, skateboarding, mountain-climbing, physical training, etc.), traveling, taking long-distance flights, or improving problems before and after pregnancy.
The touch of similar to Egyptian cotton silver fiber
The main material of the hosiery is tech nylon mixed with lycra yarn. In addition to that this material is four times more expensive than ordinary combed cotton, the main functions are quick moisture wicking and the touch of similar to Egyptian cotton.On top of that, silver fiber deodorizing technology has been added to the sole of stocking. The effect will NOT be reduced due to either the number of times being washed or however long the products has been bought.
