I bought my first pair of Diadoras back in 2003. I got them because they went really well with my Alex English Denver Nuggets throwback jersey. You know, the one with the colorful Rocky Mountains on the front? Top 5 outfit of all time for me. And now I’m trying to relive that glorious look – but in a much more refined, mature way – with Diadora’s B.Elite Sneakers. They’re made in Italy and have premium leather uppers and gum rubber outsoles. I don’t think I’ll bring the throwback back out, but maybe? Either way, I think these Italian-made sneakers will help me showcase some of that styling promise everyone saw in me 14 years ago.
