About Us — Vision Wear

The Vision:

Growing up, our coaches would remind us to, "have vision." But what did that mean? 

As we developed as athletes so did our appreciation for The Vision. From a fixation on scoring to a near-telepathic connection with our teammates, The Vision became a widening perspective, eventually transcending sport. 

It is the courage to dare, the determination that never breaks, the curiosity to discover, and the compassion that unites.  

The Come-Up:

In 2014, 3 college freshmen were frustrated by too many raggy, ripped socks. As lacrosse players, we understood that the sock was more than just a garment. It is a humble foundation. It is a staple with a statement. It was outdated.

After years rigorous testing and other shenanigans, Vision Lacrosse had engineered the optimal balance of style, performance, and comfort in a sock — battle-ready for the field, office, and nights out. The once-overlooked sock forged a brand dedicated to lacrosse lifestyle, performance, and culture.

Welcome to the Vision.

Culture

Montreal Iroquois Canada 150 Lacrosse Celebrations

We're grateful to have been shared the game of lacrosse, which has been played on turtle island (North America) since the creation of these lands. Lacrosse, as played today, comes from the rich history and culture of the Haudenosaunee peoples; it carries meaning greater than simple sport.

Gifted this experience, we seek to embrace this culture as students of the game — honouring and its spirit. Interested in this history? Click here to learn more.

Social Impact:

Rooted in our lacrosse beginnings, we strive to use our company as a platform for empowering those in need. Lacrosse originates with the Iroquois, a First Nations people of North America. In their culture, it is known as "The Medicine Game"; when there is illness in the community, lacrosse is played as an act of solidarity to empower those in need. 

We carry this spirit into our business with our social impact initiative: The Sock-for-Sock Mission. 

Beginning in 2019, we will be donating one pair of socks to local charities for every online order made.

Why? Socks are one of the most needed clothing items by charities. Yet, they are one of the least donated.

By making a purchase with Vision socks, you're giving warm, clean, and dry feet for somebody in need. 

What Makes Our Socks The BEST:

Matt, Tom, and Dan
