Diadora is upgrading two of its most iconic retro running models for a new-aged twist to help your feet survive the sweaty summer months ahead. The likes of the Diadora N9000 and Diadora V7000 are usually wrapped in premium toolings at the hands of collaborations influenced heavily by leather, suede, and nubuck. The luxurious looks are great for lifestyle use, except for when the summer heat interrupts how comfortable those models are. That’s where the additions of the Diadora V7000 Weave and Diadora N9000 MM Bright come in. The V7000 Weave utilizes a woven upper in the same breath as Flyknit and Primeknit while a premium suede heel panel adds support. The numerous panels are no more, as the woven pattern instead creates the Diadora side panel branding and toecap patterns. The N9000, the relatively more renowned pair in Diadora’s lineup, may be taking the backseat here as a ventilated mesh upper is met with fused portions for a lightweight ride in some vibrant color options. Check out a detailed look at each pair below and be on the lookout for each creation to arrive at select shops this Spring 2016 season.
