Heel tread limited edition Le Mans 66 4 pair sock set

Brand new in box. Heel Tread is celebrating with a Limited Edition 4-pack inspired by the liveries of the GT40's that changed racing forever. In the first half of the 1960's decade, Scuderia Ferrari dominated Le Mans. Regardless of its motorsport success, Ferrari's business end was struggling financially, and in 1963 Henry Ford II approached Enzo in an attempt to buy out the Italian brand. Talks ended abruptly when il Commendatore realized that his winning Scuderia was an integral part of the deal. A disgruntled Ford directed his racing division to come up with a machine to beat Ferrari - "OK, then will kick his ass" is reportedly the expression he used - thus starting what became one of the great feuds in racing history. Fortunately for all car fans, Ford's obsession with beating Enzo made him double down on the GT40 bet and Carrol Shelby and Ken Miles were hired as key assets in the GT40 development. In the 55-car '66 Le Mans startup line laid an armada of no less than 13 GT40's. The race and post-race itself had enough drama for a separate movie, but in the end, it was a 1-2-3 win for Ford - cars #2, #1 and #5 took the podium with the other Shelby team #3 GT40 dropping out at the 18th hour. It was the first-ever Le Mans triumph for Ford - or for a non-European manufacturer - followed by 4 consecutive wins 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.
