SOCKTOPUS LAUNCHES CRACKING NEW COLLECTION WITH WALLACE & GROMIT

Socktopus, the UK brand known for bringing colour, character and a healthy dose of fun to the nation’s ankles, is delighted to unveil its newest officially licensed collaboration, celebrating the beloved Aardman duo Wallace & Gromit. The collection is available now and offers fans a joyful, nostalgia-rich way to wear their favourite characters from the award-winning animated classics.

Developed in close partnership with Aardman, the range features designs inspired by iconic scenes, memorable moments and standout personalities from the celebrated films The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and beyond. 

Each pair brings a little claymation magic into the Socktoverse, with highlights including:

Wallace’s Cheese Devotion

‘Wallace Cheese Socks,’ a fitting tribute to the world’s most enthusiastic Wensleydale fan.

Feathers McGraw’s Infamous Antics 

The silent but scheming penguin takes centre stage across designs such as ‘Break Out Feathers Socks’ and ‘Feathers Train Socks.’

Gromit’s Everyday Heroics

From knitting to navigating life with an excitable inventor, socks like ‘It’s a Dog’s Life’ and ‘Gromit Knitting’ capture the canine’s signature expressions and quiet brilliance.

The Wider Aardman Universe

Fan favourites including Shaun the Sheep, Wendolene and Fluffles appear throughout the collection, ensuring every Aardman devotee finds a pair that speaks to them.


“Bringing the world of Wallace & Gromit into Socktopus has been a cracking adventure,” said Josie Starsmore, Co-Founder of Socktopus. “These characters are loved across generations, and we wanted this collection to feel like a proper celebration. From Wallace’s cheese obsession to Feathers McGraw’s plotting, each design has been created with fans firmly in mind.”

Availability

The Socktopus X Wallace & Gromit collection is available now, exclusively at socktopus.com and in our UK stores. 

To mark the launch, shoppers can enjoy a special bundle offer of 3 pairs for £20.

About Socktopus

ABOUT US

Where it Began

Socktopus is a family owned and operated business and was founded by real-life sock obsessives and certified socksperts, Nick and Josie.


After years designing and selling socks for other people, they realised something big: socks don’t have to be boring background extras. They can be loud, proud, funny, nostalgic, weird (in a good way) and confidence-boosting.


So in 2021, Socktopus was born, not just to cover feet, but to start conversations, lift moods and cause ankle based eruptions of joy!


What We Stand For

We built Socktopus on four ideas we simply won’t compromise on:


Fun – If they don’t make you feel good, they don’t make the cut.

Inclusivity – No gender labels, no rules on who can wear what. If you have feet, you’re invited.

Community – From bold extroverts to quiet collectors, everyone’s part of the sock crew.

Giving Back – Our Socks for Good range supports charities with every pair sold. If your feet feel good, your heart will too.


What We Do

Born by the Brighton seaside (where individuality is basically a local sport), we design socks with personality. Expect humour, cultural nods, unexpected animals doing unexpected things, bold colour combos and slogans that say what you’re thinking (but might be afraid to say outloud!)


Our socks are durable, comfy and designed for everyday wear, because your best socks shouldn’t only come out at Christmas.


No plastic hooks, no gender boxes, just seriously good socks for humans of all styles, ages and general levels of chaos.


Where We’re Going

What started as a sock daydream has turned into multiple stores, a growing community and more designs than we ever expected. We’re always expanding, always adding more characters to the socktoverse and always putting Socktopus socks on more feet across the UK (and beyond).
