“I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.” – Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh
Starry night over the Rhône
What do Vincent van Gogh and a pair of premium socks have in common? Perhaps more than you might think. When Van Gogh painted Starry Night over the Rhône in 1888, he captured not only a view of the sky and the river, but also a sense of eternity, movement and light. Now you can take a piece of that feeling with you – every time you take a step.
Art meets comfort
At Footnote, we don't believe that art should be kept at a distance in museums. We believe that art should be lived, worn and taken out into the world. Our socks are made from premium quality materials with careful attention to detail, but they are also something more: they carry a story.
With a twinkle in his eye
We're not claiming that Van Gogh painted this to adorn your feet (although we'd love to think so). But we know he would have appreciated the idea of his art living on in new ways. And let's be honest – few things feel more avant-garde than slipping on a pair of socks that literally glow with creativity.
One step closer to eternity
With Starry Night Over the Rhône on your feet, you're not just taking a step in everyday life – you're taking a step into history. And perhaps, just like Van Gogh, you'll see the stars a little more clearly on your way home late at night.
