The Nike Studio Wrap socks are ideal for women who enjoy doing floor workouts like Pilates or yoga, but don't like the idea of going barefoot. These foot wraps act like a sock and are able to hygienically cover your feet, however, they will not make you slip because of the grips on the bottom.
The ribbons wrap around your ankles similar to the point shoes that a ballerina wears. You are able to do your studio workouts without worrying about what germs may be clinging to your feet or slipping off the mat. When you are done, just wrap them up and throw them into the mesh carrying case. The Nike Studio Wrap will not be available for purchase until Spring of 2013.
