Ishango Socks – Adinkra-Inspired Bold Black, White & Pink | Symbolic African Design
Step into culture with creativity. Our Ishango Socks are a stunning blend of naïve illustration, African symbolism, and modern colour play, featuring a hand-sketched black and white pattern accented by a bold pop of pink. Designed for those who appreciate statement socks with substance, the Ishango design is rooted in heritage and built for comfort.
Inspired by the West African Adinkra symbol "Nkyinkyim", these socks celebrate movement, adaptability, and personal initiative — values that drive progress and success in life. Whether you're dressing for expression, comfort, or culture, Ishango lets your feet do more than walk — they tell a story.
