Ponte Socks
Ponte Socks are named after Ponte City, a 55-storey building in Johannesburg which is cylindrical in shape and is the tallest residential skyscraper in Africa. The name was inspired by the mosaic pattern of the socks which look like the Ponte City building! The socks are knit from the toe up and feature an Afterthought Heel and an easy to memorize slip stitch pattern!
