Diadora is looking to the past to help revive its new 'Reflections' collection. The Fall/Winter 2015 lookbook has been released with many new designs and colors that will accent any wardrobe.
Diadora continues to focus on its N.9000 and S.8000 models which have recently been involved in a number of collaborations with other brands. This time however, the iconic sneaker models are retrofitted with bright neon colors -- some pairs flashier than others. The collection seems to favor bright green, orange and blue tones and most of the pairs also sport more than one color.
Because of its aesthetic, the Reflections collection embodies a 90s style inspiration. The lookbook features images of the shoes as they create a reflection over a puddle. In many ways, Diadora's new collection pays homage to its history and is a reinvention of past models.
