Upcoming Diadora Maverick Dons a Familiar Look

Inspiration is a very powerful thing, especially when it comes to sneaker designs. When a certain style or trend catches on fire, it’s almost expected that another brand will run with that inspiration and make it their own. We’ve seen brands adopt trends throughout the course of sneaker history, and the latest is no different.

Diadora, the Italian sportswear brand founded in 1948, continues to excel within its historic archive with the use of premium materials and timeless silhouettes. Though, its latest venture is more modern as this upcoming Diadora Maverick sports a familiar look to Virgil Abloh’s work under the OFF-WHITE x Nike partnership across the Dunk series.

Unbreakablekicks, the account that found the Maverick in the first place, points out that the design looks familiar. If you’re aware of Virgil’s catalogue with Nike, the over lace design structure is almost a signature of Abloh’s. However, the Maverick’s own personality and DNA separate the shoe enough to still make it a Diadora sneaker.

The latest Diadora Maverick releases on September 24 for $150 on Champs and select retailers.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
