Sports Sock Functional Knit

About XO Fabric

XO Fabric (Guangdong Shunde Mingyi Textile Co., Ltd.) has been manufacturing textiles since 2005 in Foshan, China, with integrated weaving, dyeing, and finishing under one roof. With 50+ technicians and a 2,000 sqm warehouse supporting hot-selling items, we focus on consistent fabric performance for OEM and wholesale sock programs. Sports Sock Functional Knit is engineered for athletic footwear applications, combining cotton comfort with stretch recovery and functional features like zoned construction, ventilation, and antibacterial performance—ideal for buyers developing performance and everyday sports sock lines.

Product Highlights

• 180 GSM knit: The balanced mid-weight structure supports cushioning and durability without feeling overly bulky, helping socks maintain shape through repeated wear and washing.
• Zoned construction support: Targeted knit zones help place comfort and stretch where it matters most, improving fit stability around the foot and reducing shifting during movement.
• Cushioned sole feel: Strategically added cushioning improves impact comfort for long sessions, offering a softer underfoot sensation that many athletes and hikers prefer.
• Ventilated mesh + antibacterial finish: Breathable mesh areas promote airflow, while antibacterial functionality helps manage odor for daily training and multi-day outdoor use.
• Fiber mix for stretch recovery: The 8% spandex with nylon reinforcement delivers better elasticity and resilience, which supports consistent compression-like fit and cleaner form in production.

Technical Specifications

Ordering & Shipping

Our MOQ is 400m (437 yd) for Sports Sock Functional Knit, which is sized to support stable bulk knitting and consistent shade development. For wholesale buyers, this quantity helps minimize variations that can occur when fabric production is split across too many small runs, supporting smoother downstream sock manufacturing and predictable color matching across lots.

Production lead time is typically 10–20 business days (site-wide standard), depending on color approval, functional finishing requirements, and shipment scheduling. We coordinate manufacturing and packing in Foshan/Guangzhou logistics, so orders ship via FOB terms from Guangzhou/Foshan port. OEM labeling and neutral packing are available based on your packing preference, letting you align incoming rolls with your warehouse and quality-control workflows.

Recommended Applications

ATHLETIC SOCKS: This functional knit is built for performance footwear, using cotton comfort for soft touch while polyester and nylon add strength for training cycles. Zoned construction helps the sock stay more stable during lateral movement, and ventilated mesh supports breathability in high-heat sessions. Buyers and brands producing gym-to-street athletic lines will appreciate the balance of cushioning and elastic recovery.

HIKING SOCKS: Cushioning and durability from the blended fiber structure support long wear on trails, helping reduce friction and pressure points. The antibacterial functionality targets odor control for multi-hour hikes, while ventilation helps manage moisture buildup. Wholesale sock makers and outdoor retailers can use this fabric to develop reliable hiking collections.

RUNNING SOCKS: Lightweight breathability and targeted airflow are key for running, and the ventilated mesh supports temperature regulation during pace changes. The 8% spandex improves stretch recovery to maintain a secure fit without bagging, while zoned construction supports comfort where runners need it most. Performance sock brands and distributors seeking consistent fit across batches will find this fabric suitable for development programs.

SPORTS SOCKS: For general sports use, this knit offers a practical mix of comfort, stretch, and functional finishing that performs across multiple sports categories. The mid-weight 180 GSM supports cushioning while preserving mobility, and the antibacterial treatment helps maintain freshness through repeated workouts. Buyers building multi-sport assortments can streamline production by using one stable fabric platform.

COMPRESSION SOCKS: While intended for athletic and compression-style sock patterns, the fabric’s elasticity and nylon reinforcement help maintain form and support. The spandex content contributes to resilient stretch, and the knit structure supports a more even feel during wear. Compression-focused manufacturers and importers can evaluate this fabric as a strong base for fit-oriented sock designs.
