Product Description
Milan-based sneaker boutique Slam Jam worked with both Ronnie Fieg and Italian sneaker brand Diadora, to develop the Slam Jam x Diadora V7000 "Yvan" as part of a multi-dimensional, tri-branded effort. Inspired exclusively by the US Navy, and using the name Yvan (literally being Navy backwards), Slam Jam brought back the original V7000 Diadora design in a bold, navy blue colorway. Sticking with the Navy them behind the Yvan Diadora, Slam Jam used a workable and well-forming nylon vamp to relfect the working nature of shipmen and shipswomen. The SJS Yvan overlays, however, feature premium materials like pigskin suede and full grain leather. The premium quality materials bleed into the inside as cow leather creates the sock liner and a striped "dazzle-camo" designs lies on the footbed. Retailing at $200 the Yvans were available at Slam Jam Socialism Milan and Slam Jam's web store as well as at both Kith New York City locations and Kith's web shop. From the name to the colorway to the typography used on the labeling, the Slam Jam x Diadora V7000 "Yvan" passionately represent the men and women of the US Navy and were release alongside Ronnie Fieg's RF7000 Primos in the Fall of 2015.
