Diadora is the "truth", I'm a fan representing in Louisiana, and I recommend them to anyone in the world! Cop you a pair, if you want some real Italian craftsmanship! Real talk!
How would diadora compare to say ASICS gel kayano series or converse jack Purcell or Chuck 70 I have been looking into a pair of B elites and was wondering sizing
I see a pair of Diadora on sale for 45$ sale but unfortunately they have only size 10. I'm a size 10.5 but usually wear wide due to foot size. Do you think I can settle for the size 10. If they fit me it seems to good to pass up on. Great video. I didn't know about these shoes. I guess Hoka isn't the only good running shoe out there.
I wore my NB 990s to school and my friends thought they were Next shoes (basically like Primark and Zara) so they made fun of them when they are the ones wearing there triple black school shoes every day and they also consider 97 ultras the best shoes to be ever be made?
lol if ya dont know ya dont know. especially younger/school age folks...i wouldnt expect anyone respect or really know or understand any brand of shoe other than the typical guys (nike/adidas/etc.)
HI, excellent collection. I've never owned or worn any DIadora, but I'm looking to buy one. I've noticed that, even on their website, everything only comes up to size 12.5, i'm a size 13 in pretty much every other sneaker I own. Do you think half a size down would work on any Diadora model? Thanks
Diadora is for sure my go-to brand at this point. There is a High Snob x Hikmet Sugoer (formerly of Solebox) on the N9002 silhouette that is lookin pretty prettyyy prettttyyyyy nice. Hoping for a strong second half of the year for the brand, can't get enough pairs of them lol
I have one big problem with diadora. Most of the collabs and the Italian made heritage models don't come any bigger than size 12. I need 13-13.5. Other than that...I love em. And they can be found easily way below retail.
Hi, just bought the b elite s l and they are very painful and uncomfortable. Unable to walk with them. Is it normal in the beginning? It is a pity because they are very nice and I don't want to return them. Thanks in advance for your advice.
i have a pair of B Elite multicolor, just amazing only that feels little bigger than it should be, but the desing is superb, so bad that i have to use them :P also i have Diadora track tops along with kappa, lotto, ellesse, just need one Fila, i dont buy Adidas or nike anymore
"B E Lites"? :) the 'B' is for Borg - Bjorn Borg, the Swedish tennis player "E Lite" is "Elite" (originally the Elites had a gold logo/stripe to differentiate between 'regular' Borgs and the 'posh' ones) - they were a big shoe back in the very early 1980s in the U.K. weirdly the U.K hypebeasts seem to have missed Diadora, maybe because their dads wore them? :D
agree entirely with the Wimbledon, one of my first Nikes...it was also, at least locally, about those Hi-Tec Squash (and variants) and for that o.g flavour, the Patrick "Keegan"... ;) I would presume you're right about bjorn's contract having run out by this point, and referring to them as the "Bjorn Borgs" by Diadora would probably mean they'd have to pay him for the last few decades! :)
Dads wearing them? Haha that's not the case, otherwise Adidas and Nike wouldn't be so worn too. It's marketing, exposure. Diadora just has sensible or light advertising and more exposure in Europe and other countries and regions too as their focus. You didn't mention your country. Not all countries are the same. Also, compare it now with before (1970s to 90s), the shoe market wasn't as saturated as it became by the 90s. Also, Diadora was very associated with tennis in the 70s to 90s, and that was during what many call the "peak of the modern tennis game", unlike today with the sport now sufferring from many issues - but that's another discussion haha. So it's about marketing, but also what the gentleman in the video mentioned about Adidas and Nike "mass producing". However, not being super aggressive in marketing and advertising and not mass producing, could help companies such as Diadora, as it means more care and quality are able be put towards their products.
Finish Line seems to be one of the only sneaker stores that carries them in-store, usually in the corner on the bottom shelf next to Pumas, Asics and Sauconys. I've long since been out of my Jordan Phase, since the late 90's. The Elites have one of of my favorite sneaker silhouettes similar to the Airforce Ones (Uptowns). But since I have flat feet I have to limit the wear time. I have to wear running style sneakers for the support. I think my favorite all time sneakers are Air Max 95's and New Balance 1300's. Comfortable on the foot plus some fly color ways.
yea its a shame ppl dont really pay attention to those odd end parts of the sneaker shelf....but hey...thats part of why i stopped going to those stores lol. WACKKKKK
As an Apparel Brand owner Diadora does it for me. The marketing isn't in your face but they are there. Innovation and history.
Sheeesh. All that heat. I found it. Thanks. I love em!!
;)
Thanks 🙏 really enjoyed this Diadora series, in particular your emotional attachment to the brand and your collection.
Diadora is the "truth", I'm a fan representing in Louisiana, and I recommend them to anyone in the world! Cop you a pair, if you want some real Italian craftsmanship! Real talk!
AGREED
Jet life to the next life
Would you recommend getting a pair on amazom? Found them on amazon but have never bought shoes on Amazon before
Diadora are a big brand in uk football casual culture, the Borg elites, white and gold in kangaroo in my opinion are must haves!
How would diadora compare to say ASICS gel kayano series or converse jack Purcell or Chuck 70 I have been looking into a pair of B elites and was wondering sizing

Dope video..I thought they were called B. Elite all these years
Where can I buy the diadora borg elite besides ebay ?
we live in a society where if you put a jumpman or swoosh on a Diadora new balance or asics and it would sell out
branding is def a thing
I wore my NB 990s to school and my friends thought they were Next shoes (basically like Primark and Zara) so they made fun of them when they are the ones wearing there triple black school shoes every day and they also consider 97 ultras the best shoes to be ever be made?

Grew up with Diadoras in the 80's and early 90's here in Tx
Diadora is for sure my go-to brand at this point. There is a High Snob x Hikmet Sugoer (formerly of Solebox) on the N9002 silhouette that is lookin pretty prettyyy prettttyyyyy nice. Hoping for a strong second half of the year for the brand, can't get enough pairs of them lol

"B E Lites"? :)
the 'B' is for Borg - Bjorn Borg, the Swedish tennis player
"E Lite" is "Elite" (originally the Elites had a gold logo/stripe to differentiate between 'regular' Borgs and the 'posh' ones) - they were a big shoe back in the very early 1980s in the U.K. weirdly the U.K hypebeasts seem to have missed Diadora, maybe because their dads wore them? :D
lol maybe they'll shine again someday
no doubt. as an aside, loving the posts and enjoying your posts to r/sneakers. :)

@@alexsdb9712 cool story. 🤷🏽♂️🙏🏽
Diadoras are crack. I like the B. Elites. They're clean.... Been rockin since the 90's. Not as popular in the US as the UK.
yea def not US friendly overall. but glad i found em!
