Their vision for how we consume and engage with sports and the premium they place on human performance is well aligned with Lasso‚Äôs vision,” said Partha Unnava, founder and CEO of Lasso. “Our socks will help all of these athletes #StayMoving by providing ankle support to improve performance, prevention, and recovery in training and during games. We are excited to work closely with the trainers and players to be able to make an impact on the safety and performance of the players.”
Lasso and the Athletes Unlimited will be working together to integrate the Lasso Sock 2.0 product line to players and ambassadors to help promote performance, protection, and recovery aspects to each of their sports. Both of our missions focus on maximizing player performance while reducing injuries so players can play at their highest level and stay moving.
