Gate B24 brings you to San José Socks
Right by gate B24, San José Socks leans hard into airport novelty: racks of tech-themed socks, Silicon Valley jokes, and San Jose logos stacked floor to ceiling. It sits on the terminal B concourse after security, so you can duck in with minutes to spare before boarding. Expect standard airport souvenir pricing, roughly $10–$20 per pair depending on brand and design.
The focus is exactly what the name says: socks and more socks, with a smaller side of magnets, keychains, and other SJC-branded trinkets. Inventory changes often, so that robot-print pair you see on a 9:30 p.m. departure might not be there on your next 6:00 a.m. flight. It’s a quick grab spot for one last San Jose memento instead of a full-on gift shop wander.
Selection leans toward bright colors, local tech humor, and California references, so it works best when you need a small, packable gift under $25 from terminal B. Since it sits in a regular concourse storefront near B24, you’re rarely more than a three-minute walk from most nearby Southwest and Alaska gates in B. Figure five extra minutes into your walk if you want time to actually browse designs instead of just grabbing the first pair you see.
Tip: Stop here after you fill your water bottle near B23, so you’re not fumbling with bags, socks, and a drink right before boarding at B24.
