Profile

Syn Project is a Nagano-based sock brand connected to the region's walking culture and the Nakasendo trail. The range is more performance-oriented than many lifestyle washi brands.

Products

Products include city socks, trail running socks, trekking socks with Merino wool, tabi jogging socks, and compression socks. The report notes a Washi City composition including Japanese washi, cotton, polyester, and other fibers.

Western Exposure

Western access appears concentrated in the UK through Japan House London and Foundland, with minimal US distribution.

Notes

Potentially important for Wabi Socky's content funnel because it connects Japanese sock craft to walking, trails, and performance use cases.
