Diadora finally re-released the Classic vintage borg gold Elite trainers in Kangaroo skin late 2007 to an amazing reaction almost selling out in months, many customers buying several pairs. Many original 80's casuals were reunited with their favourite all time shoe or even 3 or 4 pairs. The terraces are back with White Gold borg Elites a key part of the casual heyday uniform. After huge success with 80s casual clothing we lead the push behind the re-release of the Borg Elite White Gold Kangaroo leather gum sole trainers after Italy backed out on a ltd release eventually selling over 30% of the world production. After last pairs started to fetch £250 in 8,9 and 10s on ebay in 2008 a re-release of white-gold is set for Dec 2009 along with burgundy. Also hopefully a white-silver kangaroo skin. Along with a leather white / navy, white / white and white / green elites. A release of Borgs first shoe the borg original in its slimmer fit. After many years of white leather trainers being a must we also fancy a return to other retro 80s athletic track fabric trainers and have some great options from Diadora that also brought them fame back in the 80s. Not only Borg / Cash and tennis Diadora were kings of lightweight athletics training shoes the Seb Coe , Ayrton Senna and most memorable the legend Ed Moses clearly his shoes must have been on serious drugs. Sebastian Coe despite a trip to politics was undoubtedly a uk world record hero amongst Cram and Ovett and an obvious Diadora sponsor, you may not have wanted his track outfit or hos recent suits but his shoes have been inspirational across many brands and re-issue styles. |
