HANON x Diadora N9000 « Pictish Warrior »

The Scottish shop HANON unveils a new collaboration with the Italian brand DIADORA, based on the thirty-year-old silhouette N9000. Faithful partners, the two brands celebrate the 7th anniversary of their first collaborative project with this new sneaker called « Pictish Warrior ».

This N9000 Made in Italy features a design inspired by the Picts, a confederation of tribes living in what is now Northern and Eastern Scotland. The name Picts literally means « painted men », referring to the fact that they painted or tattooed themselves in blue to appear more fierce and threatening in battle. Traces of their existence can still be seen in the northeast of Scotland, in the form of carvings, detailed symbols and also the « Pictish Beast », a mythical creature whose meaning is little known.

The sneaker is handcrafted in DIADORA’s original factory in the famous Montebelluna district of Caerano di San Marco. It boasts premium materials and a color palette that pays homage to the tribal war paint of the Picts.

It consists of an upper combining smooth anthracite nappa leather, super soft royal blue grained leather and robust, rich suede in neutral beige. To honor the legend of the Picts and the creatures carved on stones throughout Scotland, the « Pictish Beast » illustration appears in white monogram on the charcoal grey DIADORA side stripe. Turquoise accents are also found around the outline of this logo and on the inner lining. The Flamme Hanon, Diadora and Pictish Beast logos are embroidered on the blue leather tongue and suede heel. They also appear emblazoned on the leather insole. To ensure the best matchings, 4 sets of laces are provided, and to ensure the premium level, the sneaker features a custom hangtag. A beige midsole coupled with a charcoal outsole with a touch of blue, completes the meticulous and elegant design of this collab. Each pair is wrapped in tissue paper and delivered in a box specially designed for the occasion.

HANON x Diadora N9000 « Pictish Warrior » will be released on July 16, 2021 via a raffle accessible here launches.hanon-shop.com, priced at 250$ (£180) and sizerun US 4.5 to US 13. Don’t sleep and good luck !
