Release Info: Diadora - Trident 90 - SS15

2015-07-22T21:58:00.000+01:00

Having had a peek at early pairs at the last Laces Out! a couple months ahead of deliveries. It was clear that Diadora weren't messing around on the quality. Which is really odd, at the minute, "quality" is tossed about willy nilly, mainly to support Nike, in charging us £135 for a shoe we could pick up 3-5 years ago for £90, or even less. But we really do stand by this statement, the quality of the Trident 90s are off the scales

Most may already know, that just recently Bape EU closed with a massive sale on all items in stock. Personally I haven't a clue why, but they mustn't have been doing as well as they do in the Asian market, as it probably suits their culture a little more, possibly as many in the UK will sooner part with their money on a Supreme piece than Bape. Who knows?

No. These lightweight, summer friendly, down right great looking kicks are great whether they're Nike, Adidas or an in-house creation from Wyndsors World of Shoes (that's a north of England ting).

We cannot stress how vital it is to put out a good collaboration at the minute, with the next collaboration of any shoe being this weekend, like the rest of them. We believe a good collaboration, if your store isn't already on the map, this can then do so, it can put you up there with the likes of Patta and Footpatrol, which bring in a lot of customers due to the status of these stores in the sneaker community.
