Diadora = high quality Italian leather
"Diadora is the sleeper awesome sneaker. Don't assume that Diadora is lesser quality because they aren't as popular as the popular big name brands. These sneakers are high quality great 70s retro basketball sneaker. These are comfortable. Due to the leather being thicker high quality, it takes a little bit more time to break in than say thin cheap fake leather that flakes away 2 years later. It does break in and feels great. These look awesome, comfortable and UNIQUE. I am just getting into Diadora the past 2 months and various Diadora sneakers. I should have gotten them many years ago."
