Soxxy, the performance-fashion sock brand, announced a sponsorship deal with gold medal snowboarder, Lindsey Jacobellis. Jacobellis is the first elite action sports athlete to join Soxxy's roster.

“Lindsey caught my attention when she won the silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics.  I felt an immediate bond, as a woman who also grew up in Connecticut, ski racing in New England,” said Soxxy CEO, Sarah Stabile.  “I admire her dedication, it requires a true inner and outer strength to compete at Lindsey's level.”

“Soxxy's stylish compression sox provide extra support when I'm traveling and recovering,” said Lindsey Jacobellis.  “I love innovative products that help elevate my performance – these sox rock.”

Lindsey Jacobellis (born in 1985 in Danbury, Connecticut) is an American snowboarder from Stratton, Vermont. She has won 13 gold medals, nine in the Winter X-Games and four in the World Cup Championships.  She also won a silver medal in the 2006 Winter Olympics.
