Concrete Jungle

The lyrics of Concrete Jungle, the hits from the album ‘Catch A Fire’ released by father of reggae Bob Marley & The Wailer in 1973, convey the message that a lonely soul has been trapped in the urban jungle. Although it is an upbeat reggae song, the voice from the vocal still reveals the helplessness of modern people in real life.
The lyrics mentions that: “No chains around my feet, but I'm not free, I'm not free.”
During that era, young people left their hometowns to work in the big cities. All they looked up and saw were skyscrapers. The beautiful skyline was no longer visible. The dreams in their minds could not be fulfilled because of the realities.

The design adopts the silhouettes of famous buildings worldwide, such as Taipei 101, Dubai Burj Al Arab, Empire State Building, and the Big Ben.
A fierce dinosaur appears to break through a concrete building in the late-night city when the hosiery is folded. Which means that everyone in the city has a part of the soul seeking for freedom; eventually he or she will find a way out even in a harsh environment.
Concrete Jungle has been designed to commemorate Mr. Yong-Lai Ku, he is the father of the founder of FLIPPOS. We sincerely gratitude him for his contribution and dedication to the development of green building in Taiwan.

Original design in Taiwan

WHY FLIPPOS
The original idea of FLIPPOS hosiery is to create a pair of compression stocking fulfilling functions in every way. You could wear it to the office and exercise after work as well. Simply with ONE SAME pair of stocking.
Considering that most people either sit or stand for a long time for work in which cause the fatigue condition upon feet and calf, we develop our hosiery to apply ‘graduated compression’ from the sole of the foot to calf to improve this situation.
Additionally, wearing FLIPPOS during exercise could reduce muscle vibration effectively, produce greater strength, and improve the speed of fatigue recovery after exercising.

Flip the length, flip the attitude.
In order to cater for any occasion and any outfit, FLIPPOS creates the first compression hosiery that can be folded. You could wear it knee-high or fold it to the calf. The item can be transformed into socks within seconds.
★Length BEFORE flipping: Knee-High
★Length AFTER flipping: 18cm above ankle
