The Diadora Borg Elite has long been a sneaker that's found a home with sports and style fans. It was adopted by hip-hop heads and football casuals in England, including recently by none other than Jay Z. Given that Diadora is in the midst of a revival, the Italian brand has decided to bring back the Borg —​ made famous by Swedish Tennis star Bjorn Borg —​ but with a different look.

The versions of the Borg Elite for Fall/Winter 2015 opt for suedes and brown soles, separating them from the white-and-navy or white-and-gold original pairs. Expect these sneakers to become a hit with those who previously appreciated them, but also with people who want to wear Diadora but aren't looking for a runner.
