The concept of underwater knee socks has recently become popular with photographers and those who enjoy the sight of ladies in socks coupled with the aesthetic of underwater photography.

The socks look cool on dry land, too! They retail for ¥3,024 (US$26) per pair at Village Vanguard shops—which is a bit pricey for a pair of socks, but at least they’re waterproof and, as a result, possibly more durable than bog-standard cotton socks.
