First introduced in 1984, the Diadora Seb Coe trainer was famously endorsed by the middle distance runner, Seb Coe. Coe boasted numerous records on the track as well as gold medals in the 1500m in both the 1980 & 1984 Olympics. Coe would later go into politics leaving a lasting legacy on the running trainer world. With the rise of the running trainer trend of the 1980s many Casuals had already made the switch from the traditional gum soled court shoes. Following on from the elitist appeal of the Borg Elite trainer when the Seb Coe came on the scene it was an instant hit on and off the tracks. The Seb Coe also marked the next generation of running trainers for the Italian sportswear brand and would even go on to inspire their legendary N. series throughout the ealry 1990s.
