Having had a peek at early pairs at the last Laces Out! a couple months ahead of deliveries. It was clear that Diadora weren't messing around on the quality. Which is really odd, at the minute, "quality" is tossed about willy nilly, mainly to support Nike, in charging us £135 for a shoe we could pick up 3-5 years ago for £90, or even less. But we really do stand by this statement, the quality of the Trident 90s are off the scales

Does anybody who is still wearing sneakers, remember the days of 'classics' sitting on the sales racks, which now go on eBay for a pretty penny?

Most recently Diadora have been making huge waves with the N9000 model in the collaboration department, really catching the eyes of most runner enthusiasts. But a model we've had for a while, sitting on JD sales racks, for as little as £10 or so, is about to make a comeback into mainstream sneaker culture as I am now going to call it. Coming in three different colourways, the Titan II really gives you options and versatility for the upcoming spring/summer months, which we are all more than ready for!

Back at the beginning on November we brought you the 'Sol' edition of the 24 Kilates x Diadora Sol y Sombra pack. Now finally over a month later we can bring you the second edition; 'Sombra'.

Thinking back two or three years ago, Sneaker events were almost unheard of, especially in the UK. With the growth of the Sneaker Community in the past two years, events such as Laces Out!, 6ACRE and Crepe City have burst on to the scene, giving collectors and enthusiasts a place to meet up, buy, sell, trade and have a good time with like minded people.

It's always an exciting day when you read the word 'Patta' on the news list. That is exactly what's happened today, the announcement of the forthcoming collaboration with Diadora has finally came to the press.
