Hanon & Diadora's Pallone d’Oro Sneakers Celebrate an Anniversary

— November 27, 2018 — Fashion
Scotland-based retail label Hanon works in collaboration with Italian sneaker label Diadora on the upcoming Pallone d’Oro sneakers in celebration of Diadora's 70th anniversary. The sneakers are accompanied by an anorak that boasts co-branding accents from both Hanon and Diadora.
