A breakdown of the materials in Nike Dri-Fit socks and where they come from.
Recently I was asked to evaluate and breakdown a product to its roots, using Carolus Van Linnaeus's form of classification. Linnaeus, the father of taxonomy, was a Swedish scientist who believed that every product came from an animal (alive), vegetable (something that grows), or mineral (from the ground). Below is a narrowed look at what goes into making Nike Dri-Fit Cushioned Socks. I refer to them simply as Nike socks; not to get confused with the various other types of socks (probably with similar production processes and ingredients) that Nike markets.
