Same here- they truly were one size fits almost all. Which is good if you're trying to improvise a nightgown or sleep shirt.

I literally just saw a pair for sale on eBay! Now I'm wondering why I haven't gotten a pair? Is everyone getting these now? I feel left out

Don't feel left out. I also have no Delta swag. I got a free skymiles experience once, but no socks.

All these years people hated the dreaded socks from Grandma Christmas present. Delta gives a few people ugly socks and now that's all we want. Life is full of ironies.

I know this is an old thread, but I wasn't sure what was the better choice - post here or start something new.

Anyway, today I received a pair of Delta socks in the mail. They seem to be based on the fact that I'm a Medallion member & live in Nashville. (The tag says, in part, "We're excited to knock your socks off as Nashville's First Class Airline." It also carries the hashtag for #DeltaMedallionLife on it.

I rather like them.

If anyone does not want their DL socks, and they are unworn, I will happily pay shipping for them.

Cool, do they still say "Got Status" on the bottom, or something else?

That's cute. Much better than the socks in the D1 amenity kit.

Yeah, I think they're the exact same ones they sent out in the summer, except with the Nashville message on them instead of the message about being a new Medallion member. I got both of them.

6 months later, I'm still jealous, and still want a pair of these. I'll have to console myself by wearing my sweet PDX carpet socks in the interim...

I would wear these like mittens on my next flight.

I don't know if DL marketing are genius or gone crazy....

It's too bad they are not a little less 'tall'. A lot of cyclists love to wear funky socks (I collect them from every cool cycling trip/destination)....but most cyclists sox are either ankle socks or socks that are maybe 3" tall. By having socks that stretch too far up the calf, they are missing a marketing opportunity (and I am serious). I do like the tiny little planes...they are cute.

Me too, maybe my socks are stuck in IROPS? I mean shouldn't everyone in Nashville get these?

BNA has a carpet thing going too, I think only second in follower count to PDX?

there's probably a much larger market for people who wear dress socks that are visible when you're sitting around a conference room table than for cyclists

They appear to be the same ones pictured earlier, just a Nashville branded wrapper on them.

I must confess - they're really cute. They're clearly sized for a man's foot, but I'm wearing them anyway!

My other half - who is also a Delta Medallion member - did not receive the socks. Yes, I may have gloated just a tiny bit. ;-)
