** The Diadora Thread ** - Concepts "Rat Pack" N9000

Words cant express how underwhelming the Packer Azzurris are material wise in person. Even @ $130. SMH


I have to completely disagree here. The materials are really good up to par with most of their made in Italy offereings. I never thought that was in doubt. I thought people just disliked the collab for whatever reason.

I love the colorway, but they dont feel any nicer than the cheaper Asian made models I have IMO. That can be a good or bad thing I guess. I just expected more for my 1st made in Italy pair. Are these pigskin suede and kangaroo leather?
 
Wow I have yet to hold an Italian pair that wasn't great quality wise. Azzuris are still on my short cop list.

Edit: Damn, just checked ebay and no DS pairs under $200 now. Guess I waited too long :\

This ebay seller had that size 10 up there for a minute. Lol. And I saw that orange Mita collab go for around 150 after it sat in my watchlist for a month so I said F it and got the Azzurris before someone else scooped em.
 
Thanks, got the 12.5, really excited for these
Let me know if your order goes through. I know my friend copped the same size last night.

Back when the Gufetto's released via Club75, some sizes were popping on and off the site. I had the white+blue canceled after ordering, and then I got through on one pair of the blues.

Hope you guys both get them! And I hope my pair (diff size) goes through too :D

I only own italian made Diadoras (Saturday Specials, Ferros, Red Spirit of 83s) and I'd say the craftmanship is great on all the pairs I have. With regards to the materials, I would argue that the kangaroo leather is probably the best material used on any pair of sneakers I own. But I do agree that the suede Diadora uses is good but nothing special. I have sneakers from various brands with better suede.

Still, I'd say MII Diadoras are great value for money compared to many other sneakers.
 
I'M HYPED!

FINALLY caught a deal for a pair of Castellers. Much more than I wanted to pay so not exactly a deal, but at least I'll finally have them. Worn once, but honestly only the second pair in 9.5 I have seen for sale.

5 to go.
 
500 shipped/invoice

I sold my extra gufetto set for the same price so it was perfect timing

Nice. That's actually not bad man. I saw similar sizes going for like $700-$800 in auctions, DS of course. Personally if I can let someone else eat the depreciation by wearing a pair once or twice and save 25-35% I'm always in as long as they are clean.

Luckily for me the bigger sizes are always cheaper when it comes to Diadora.

True. I Almost copped a size 12.5 on ebay for like 285 shipped just so I could have a pair in the collection lol

Haha. $285 is crazy. I bought my 12.5 DS for $425 and didn't expect them to pop up for any cheaper.

These are sweet. Keep sleeping.

Concepts always with that quick service Sat-Weds!

Fresh I just got my pair too! I see yours also has the defect/indent on inner logo. On my pair the defect is on the inner logo on one shoe and on the outer logo on the other shoe. I was gonna email Concepts but I doubt they will do anything haha
 
My ALL GONE's shipped from France on 03/02 and it arrived at my parent's place in the States on 03/03. Ridiculously fast shipping. Will get some pics up tomorrow hopefully!
