The story behind the creation of Are You Kidding Socks is simply amazing. The brothers were only seven and nine years old when they started the company with their mom from their home in Kendall.

Designing socks was like second nature to him. It became such a huge success that the brothers have been featured on such shows as Good Morning America. Buy the socks online, for both adults and children. It is also a way for the brothers to teach other kids about philanthropy, and they design socks for such worthwhile causes as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Live Like Bella Foundation. Are You Kidding is also working with a safe driving campaign called Be a Hero and Save Lives, cautioning people against texting and driving. Men will find socks that rise to the occasion such as the Autism awareness socks, the AYK logo socks with stars, lightning bolts blue and even race car socks. They are fun to buy and fun to wear.
