But these sneakers not only offer a great style, but they fit both our day to day, as well as the sports activities that we want to practice, making this a more versatile and striking footwear, although it is true that today this model has become part of those people who like to dress elegantly with the most classic sneakers. They are usually combined with jeans or Bermuda shorts in summer.

History of the Diadora B Elite

This model was first launched by the Italian brand in 1981, and became one of the first tennis-specific sneakers of the 1980s. The first combination of this model that had the greatest repercussion was a totally white sneaker with the details of the heel and the Diadora logo in gold color, which was made of top quality leather. It had a great repercussion in the United Kingdom, where young people started to wear them as part of their most casual outfits.

And of course, this model was created for the Swedish tennis player, Björn Borg, a tennis legend, and as already happened with Stan Smith and Adidas, this combination of tennis and custom sneakers for a professional became a success for the Italian brand and probably this model has become one of the best-selling sneakers in the history of the Italian brand Diadora.

Features of the Diadora B Elite

The upper of the sneaker is made of leather, with its characteristic white color. The front section of the shoe has micro perforations that facilitate the passage of air into the shoe and ensure good ventilation.

Some layers of the same material have been placed on the sides of the shoe to offer better support to the foot and an adequate structure to the shoe. The leather layer on the heel cup is where the camouflage design is incorporated which gives this Diadora edition its unique style but also serves as protection.

The perforations on the front of the shoe are intended to keep the foot cool by facilitating airflow into the shoe. In terms of fit, the shoes are unisex and fit appropriately for medium build feet, so those with narrow feet, mainly women, might need a size down.

The midsole of the Diadora B.Elite has a fairly robust layer of rubber that adequately absorbs the energy from ground contact when the shoes are used for sports and also provides a comfortable enough surface to wear the shoes all day long.

Comfort is complemented by a padded collar and tongue that keep the foot securely and safely in place. The lacing system, with flat laces, makes the shoes easy to fit without feeling restrictive.

For the soles, a high-strength rubber is used which offers an adequate level of protection against wear and friction; its herringbone pattern allows for good traction on different types of terrain, although they are best suited to hard surfaces such as asphalt.

The Diadora B.Elite shoes are a classic edition re-invented with a modern and elegant design, but above all very comfortable that we can use throughout the day and wherever we go, but that will also offer us an efficient level of cushioning to incorporate them in our sports practices without sacrificing style.
