Diadora: Italian Sportswear Heritage Since 1948
Founded in 1948 by Marcello Danieli, Diadora began life crafting premium mountain boots in Italy before evolving into one of the most iconic Italian sportswear brands. Renowned for its retro trainers, heritage sportswear, and deep ties to football culture, Diadora embodies a blend of Italian craftsmanship, vintage design, and modern performance.
From Tennis Courts to Football Terraces
Diadora’s journey through sport and style began in the 1970s with its partnership with tennis legend Björn Borg, whose on-court flair brought the brand global attention. By the 1980s, Diadora had firmly stepped onto the football scene with stars like Marco van Basten. His signature San Siro Van Basten trainers became cult classics among fans of the 80s casuals aesthetic and terrace fashion — defining an era where sport met street style.
Football Heritage and Global Influence
The Diadora name has roots tracing back to the Dalmatian town of Zadar, symbolizing the brand’s enduring European heritage. Entering the 2000s, Diadora became a major football kit supplier, creating uniforms for legendary clubs such as AS Roma (2003–2007). Today, Diadora continues this proud connection to the game, providing team kits to Scandinavian clubs and producing footballs and sportswear for international markets.
From classic Diadora trainers to heritage football tops, the brand’s influence remains strong in both sport and lifestyle fashion.
