A Welcomed Return Of A Classic – Limited Edition
Diadora B Elite Italia Limited Edition
Rewind back to the days where standing in the terraces and being decked out in the latest terrace must haves was a weekly occurrence. Well let us reintroduce you to a cult classic – Diadora’s B Elite.
Originally release in the late 1970’s as the signature silhouette for the Swedish tennis pro Björn Borg, these soon filtered their way into the British terrace culture becoming a cult classic in its respective field. Becoming as popular on court as they did off court, the Diadora B Elite silhouette cemented itself as one of the most loved court models around and still to this day proves ever popular with all generations.
To celebrate this classic, Diadora are set to release the B.Elite model in the original 80’s catalogue colour-ways, bringing the classics back to life. Decked out in the original White/Gold and White/Silver colours and mixed with the original silhouette, these are set to be a must have for sneaker collectors. Taken from the prestigious Made In Italy label for exceptional craftsmanship and materials while keeping the authenticity and classic charm of this retro shoe. Constructed from an all white premium upper with the classic perforated holes to the toe area, lace fasten sitting upon a white midsole with gum outsole, set off with the rich gold or silver logo to the side panels, heel tab and tongue.
To celebrate the re-release of this historic shoe, Diadora have named Friday 26th February “B.Elite Day”, so if you would like more information or would like to join in with the celebrations head over to Diadora’s official website.
The official launch of the Diadora B.Elite Italia Trainers will be 9am Friday 26th February and both pairs priced at £130.
