Diadora Borg Elite. Slightly different from what I remember from the originals ( no B.B. signature & the heel is gold rather than white ) but very pleased with them

You'll notice the name subtly changed to 'B. Elite' since Diadora no longer sponsors Borg and, presumably, can't use his signature for that reason. I suspect that someone could reproduce the signature for you but I wouldn't know where to look. The gold heel I'm not so sure about. I don't remember the Borg Elite when it was new.

All over the Columbias and the ZX, though siding with the Columbias... but may get the ZX instead, will depend in hand what they’re like
Can’t get both as going for the Seans 97/1
Really don't like the Columbia I know that's me as everyone seems to like them!Can’t get both as going for the Seans 97/1
I am getting the handball tops as they are soo nice!

Yeah the handballs are lovely, but got the consortium ones already which are similar, and I prefer the colour. But each to their own, would be a boring world etc...
I love those as well, however I already spend too much money on trainers! You can grab them for £85 nowhttps://www.sneakersnstuff.com/en/product/30285/ad...
I am also tempted by these for wearing to work as they will go with the jeans I wear -

Not sure on the numbers of things, some bits will always fly while things sit. Reckon the Lacombe will hit sales againDo you recon Aspden will limit the supply a little more from now on as some of the spzl range does go to sale!?

And thanks, we chuckled as everyone expected a Spezial video that day, but there’ll be a couple coming up. We’re going to the Wellgosh event with Gary and Bez, that should be a laugh

Loooovely. What are they like on? I've been quite tempted before.

The heel and lack of signature together with a black Diadora emblem on the tongue instead of gold are the only noticeable differences. I also think they are ‘standard’ leather rather than the kangaroo of the 80s originals but I still love them.You'll notice the name subtly changed to 'B.

Before this re issue, they were well over £120 if you could find them so £75 seems a great deal to me

You're absolutely right about the kangaroo leather being different to the modern, standard version of the B. Elite. There was a numbered 1/800 reissue of the kangaroo leather in 2016 but I don't know if the material has been available since. They were somewhere around £200 as far as I recall. Even the Made in Italy line doesn't seem to be made of kangaroo; the product descriptions refer to 'premium leather' and 'luxury leather' but that isn't specific enough. I imagine they should be quite a comfortable style, but I've never physically seen them for sale.Before this re issue, they were well over £120 if you could find them so £75 seems a great deal to me
