DeFeet Aireator Lion of Flanders Socks - Yellow

The "Lion of Flanders" is the nickname bestowed on Johan Museeuw of Belgium. It is said that if a rider wins even one of the big "Spring Classics" cycling events, there will be decades of handshakes, autographs, baby hugs, and parade waves ahead of them. During his career, Museeuw crossed the line first in three Tour of Flanders, three Paris-Roubaix, an Amstel Gold Race and a World Road Championship.

More than Museeuw, the Lion of Flanders is an insignia seen all over Northern Europe in the biggest races. It flies on yellow flags through rain, wind and smoke rising from grills of sizzling sausage. Below the flags riders bounce across ancient roads while beer spills from the hands of rabid fans. The Lion of Flanders is always present in these most palpable displays of the cycling-mad Northern culture.

It was in these stadiums, on the feet of wheeled gladiators, where the DeFeet sock first found acclaim. No other sock is more deserving to be draped in the Lion of Flanders than the original - and most successful ever - Spring Classic sock.
