“Nothing Less, Something More” Mismatched Socks Collection

Nothing Less, Something More is a set of two mismatching socks launched by The Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association (HKDSA) and Pair Pair Full. Inspired by the artwork of HKDSA members, Pair Pair Full incorporated their creativity into two iconic Hong Kong scenes brought to life through asymmetrical sock designs. Each pair tells a story filled with imagination, showcasing how individuals with Down Syndrome see the world in their own extraordinary way.

Meaning of “Nothing Less, Something More”

Most individuals with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21. With their “Something More” perspective, they bring a new dimension of colour and imagination to our lives. They remind us that our friends with Down syndrome embrace unlimited potential — just like everyone else. Through appreciation, support, and acceptance, nothing is missing in this world — only more possibilities, more creativity, and more love!

Mismatched socks ― Introduction of two styles

“Goldfish WonderSea”

Most people see Goldfish Market as a bustling street filled with fish tanks. But through the eyes of individuals with Down syndrome, it transforms into an underwater wonderland right on land. Goldfish turn into magical sea creatures, while the street flows like a shimmering blue river. This sock design captures the whimsical charm of Goldfish Market with vibrant colours and flowing patterns, transforming it into a fantastical marine paradise.

“3-2-1 Smile”

Public housing estate playgrounds hold cherished memories for generations. To individuals with Down syndrome, these playgrounds transform into cosmic adventure parks. Slides turn into rocket platforms, while swings become spaceships floating through the cosmos. This sock design showcases playful planetary motifs, reimagining the playground as a gateway to the universe.

We sincerely invite everyone to order these meaningful mismatched socks to celebrate the beauty of diversity, inclusivity, and new perspectives, while also raising public awareness for individuals with Down syndrome.

What is Down Syndrome?

There are 46 chromosomes in each cells of a person. However, in the cells of a person with Down syndrome, there are 47. This extra chromosome is the cause of distinct physical appearance and intellectual status of people with Down syndrome. If appropriate training and support could be given at early stages, people with Down syndrome may be able to live happily and independently.

More about World Down Syndrome Day

Most people with Down Syndrome carry 3 chromosomes at their 21st pair of chromosomes, so the United Nations General Assembly has designated March 21 each year as World Down Syndrome Day to raise public awareness and advocate for the rights of people with Down syndrome.

Members' gratitude

Multi-faceted development — Shigang

Shigang, who is cheerful and lively, likes to participate in the activities of the association, whether it is sports table tennis or art musicals, he is very active. Shigang's mother found that after participating in the activity, Shigang was not only happier than before, but also improved her social skills and met more friends. More importantly, Shigang's self-care ability has improved after participating in the center's self-care training, and now she can commute to work and to the center by herself, without worrying about her at all!

Event Showcasing Talent — Yingwen

Before the epidemic, Wenwen would be seen in the center almost every day. Wenwen's mother laughed that Wenwen is a "super fan" of the center, and the center is like Wenwen's second home. Through the activities of the centre, Wenwen not only met a group of good friends, but also maintained her physical, mental and mental state in health and happiness. At present, Wenwen will take advantage of the easing of the epidemic to sing and participate in activities such as "playing with 'brain' friends" at the center. Wenwen's Mother Gratitude Centre gives Wenwen the opportunity to expand her life circle, and also has a space for her to realize her potential, be recognized and confident.
