To join Diadora in their 70th anniversary celebration, Packer pays homage to a special era of the brand’s rich legacy when two of their most critical categories were hitting new high points — early ‘90s tennis and running.
The “ON/OFF” Collection gives a nod to the best of both worlds by taking Diadora’s top of the line tennis and running offerings of the time and reimagining them as a two-pair set, with one intended for the court and the other to wear everywhere else.
Packer x Diadora “ON/OFF” Collection
Made in Italy.
Available 12 noon EST Friday August 24th, exclusively online at packershoes.comand in-store at our Jersey City location while supplies last.
Both pairs are limited in quantities and include special packaging, hangtag and three alternate lace sets.
Packer x Diadora Rebound Ace
$200
Following in the footsteps of other Diadora tennis legends, the early ‘90s saw the emergence of a new crop of stars, and with them, a next generation approach to footwear. The brand’s top players took the court in the Rebound Ace, a shoe that was no stranger to Grand Slam finals appearances.
The Packer “ON/“ edition takes inspiration from Diadora’s 1991 US Open kits and features a combination of kangaroo and tumbled leather on the upper with open mesh side panels and a micro-perfed toebox for added breathability. Additional details include customized heel loops, lace dubraes and tongue logo badges.
• Kangaroo leather
• Full-grain tumbled leather
• Heavy ribbed nylon
• Open mesh window
• Terrycloth lining
• Heel loops
• Lace dubraes
• Made in Italy
Packer x Diadora N.9002
$200
Diadora broke new ground with the introduction of their N.9000 model, so the bar was set high for its successor. The N.9002, released in 1992, delivered a strong answer with a sleek look, familiar feel and some updated tech like Double Action and Duratech.
The Packer “/OFF“ edition offers a clean and luxurious take on the classic runner with a medley of premium leathers and suedes on the upper, paired with subtle details such as micro-perfing, heel logo badges, reflective 3M accents and an open mesh side panel window.
• Kangaroo leather
• Full-grain tumbled leather
