Heritage footwear imprint [Diadora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colville) introduces its latest version of the B.560 sneaker model. The shoe is made in Italy using only high-quality materials from its wheelhouse. The shoe's upper is made entirely from [full-grain cow leather materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-lux) that have micro-perforations at the vamp section to subtly add some breathability to the shoe.

It is also marked with a [stonewashed finish treated with wax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movida-92) throughout the entire silhouette to give it the "Used Italia" visual and feel. The shoe is made so that it builds an aged aesthetic as time passes and it all sits on top of an EVA and rubber sole unit foundation that has been very carefully yellowed before being rounded out by branding at the heel embroidery.
