Plaxico Burress selling fashionable socks on the side

The collection will be available to non-models on June 1.

The humor of the release party's location wasn't lost on PennLive writer Dustin Hockensmith.

"Burress debuted the collection at a New York nightclub, the same setting in which he accidentally shot himself in the thigh in 2008. He was sentenced to two years in prison for violating New York's gun laws."
