Diadora has been on a winning streak in 2014. Starting with a collaboration with Patta on an Italian-made N.9000, the brand has put the silhouette to work — releasing two more collabs with Patta, one with Hanon, and also releasing its O.G. colorway. Instead of slowing down or spreading out its quality projects to other retailers, Diadora is keeping its portfolio tight — up next is another N.9000 in conjunction with Hanon.
This time, Hanon channels the "Saturday Special," a train service that ran through the UK in '80s for its "Transit II" collab. The sneaker has rich suede, kangaroo leather, and a light-hearted color palette. Once again, the runners are made in Italy and execute everything that a sneaker connoisseur wants: quality materials, a good storyline, and a non-wonky shape.
Retail is set at roughly $210, and they'll release November 1, in-store at Hanon. The remaining pairs will be put on the shop's website at 8 p.m. (EST).
