These fun socks commemorate the warbird that to this day remains the fastest manned air-breathing aircraft, even after more than 40 years have passed since it clocked in at over 2,193 mph. The crew-cut socks are made of 97 percent polyester and 3 percent spandex, and they feature images of the Cold War reconnaissance aircraft toward the top front of each sock. On the back, one sock bears the word “Top,” while the other features the word “Secret.”

The socks are priced at $14.99.
