500x_portal_2_socks.jpgIs this the best summer for video game-themed socks... ever? It's looking that way, now that J!NX has released officially licensed Portal 2 knee socks, footwear based on the Aperture Science Long Fall Boots from Valve's first-person puzzler.

While your sock drawer may already be over-encumbered with excellent Minecraft-inspired socks, I don't know how any discriminating sock aficionado could pass on the Portal 2 Long Fall Socks. Technically, they're in "womens sizes only," according to J!NX, but they're also only ten bucks American.

Go on. Grab some. Even if you're a dude. Consider it an experiment.
