Get your lucky red socks and support BLAKE

Issue date

Red socks are back.

BLAKE (formerly The Sir Peter Blake Trust) have launched their new red socks for 2021 in partnership with The Warehouse.

These red socks (75 percent organic cotton, 22 percent recycled polyester and 100 percent lucky) are available instore and online from The Warehouse for just $5 a pair.

For every pair sold, The Warehouse will generously donate $2.50 to BLAKE to help them continue their environmental leadership programmes that aim to inspire and prepare people to lead a sustainable future for Aotearoa.

Since 1995, when Sir Peter Blake and Team New Zealand made yachting history by winning the America’s Cup, red socks have become a symbol of backing the Kiwi spirit, stepping up and showing the world what great teamwork and leadership can do to achieve extraordinary things for our nation.
