A few weeks ago, I told you in an article (available HERE) about the latest collaboration between the Bangkok shop 24 Kilates and the Italian brand Diadora. For the design of this 6th collaboration, the store of Spanish origin was inspired by Cobi, the Olympic mascot designed by Javier Mariscal for the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992.
Having had the opportunity to get the Diadora V7000 « Friends for Life », I suggest you to discover it in pictures on my feet.
Made in Italy, this sneaker is composed of an upper in shades of brown and yellow combining 3 different premium leathers : nappa, pigskin and horse leather. Fur overlays on the midfoot and heel recall the hair of the famous dog featured in this collab. Perforations on the toe box, zig-zag stitching, white and black accents add character to the pair. To complete the look and affirm the inspiration, the tongue is adorned with a patch in the shape of a dog’s head with the inscription « Amigos para Siempre » (the original title of the song). The shoe also has an insole with an all-over graphic and a hangtag that mirrors the design of the tongue label. The whole is based on a white midsole with a beige heel clip that matches the rubber outsole.
The 24 Kilates x Diadora V7000 « Friends for Life » already released at 24 Kilates, will be available in the coming days at a few retailers around the world for 230€ (near $240).
