Ace Grip Socks was founded in 2025 by Liz Detrow, combining her love of design and brand building with her passion for movement, wellness, and Pilates.

With a background in fashion, product design, and building brands, Liz had always loved the creative process of bringing an idea to life. After falling in love with Pilates and spending more and more time in the studio, she saw an opportunity to bring those interests together. She was constantly searching for grip socks that felt high quality, performed well, and were just as thoughtfully designed as the rest of her workout wardrobe. When she couldn’t find exactly what she was looking for, Ace was born.

Ace was built around the belief that performance and style should go hand in hand. Every sock is thoughtfully designed with a focus on comfort, grip, durability, and quality, while incorporating playful colors and designs that bring more personality to the studio.

What started as a grip sock brand quickly grew into something bigger. As the Ace community expanded, so did the vision behind the brand.

In 2026, Ace launched Ace Access, an extension of the brand focused on bringing people together through Pilates classes, wellness events, studio partnerships, and community experiences. While grip socks remain at the heart of Ace, the mission has always been larger than the product itself: creating opportunities for people to connect through movement and wellness.

Today, Ace Grip Socks can be found in studios across the country and continues to grow alongside a community that shares a love for movement, wellness, and good design.
