Product Description
Helping to bring Diadora out of the shadows of other retro-running brands, 24 Kilates in Barcelona worked with the Italian sneaker brand to create the 24 Kilates x Diadora N9000 "Sol" in the Fall of 2014. As part of a 2-part collaboration collection, the Sol Diadora are regarded as one of the most popular N9000. Sporting a sun-theme the Sol N9000 use a contrast of differentiating colors to create a reflection of the sun riding over the Iberian peninsula. With a soft, golden suede toe box and mudguard overlayed in plush light-mint suede, the Sol N.9000 is extremely pleasing to the eye. Even the hits of tonal greys that adorn the eye stays, heel wrap, and inner sock liner work sell against the straw-colored upper. The signature Diadora logo emboldens the mid-foot in soft leather with a nylon underlay. 24 Kil branding is stitched on the 3M tongue, and the "Sol y Sombra" logo adorns the heel. Originally retailing for $212 and available at select Diadora shops throughout the world, it was quite a job to track down a pair of the Diadora Sol. However, those that were able to get them, were more than willing to pay the price and most couldn't be happier with the job that 24K did on their first Diadora collaboration, the 24 Kilates x Diadora N9000 "Sol."
