Diadora's Equipe Brings '70s Style into the Present
The ‘70s are always in. There’s something about the shapes, colors, and effortlessly cool vibes of the era that will just always be relevant. Maybe we’re looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses, or maybe we just like traditional style with a twist—either way, it’s a look that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Diadora, the Italian sports- and footwear designers, know this better than most, and it’s the reason that this year, they’re shining a spotlight one of their signature sneakers from back in the day: the iconic Equipe.
For Spring/Summer 2026, Diadora is looking back at two versions of the Equipe: the Equipe Vela and the Equipe Revenge. Both marry Diadora’s commitment to comfort with their keen eye for bold style, creating a shoe that will feed your athletic side while still letting your inner fashion expert shine. With its nylon upper and suede panels that give the illusion of being stonewashed, The Vela uses these juxtaposed fabrics and textures to tell a sophisticated story. The Vela is more than just a throwback sneaker—it takes a look at the past and reimagines it as something modern, innovative, and totally wearable. With its vibrant colors, it’s perfect for the summer months, and as the Equipe was the first Diadora model to sport the iconic “Fregio” logo, it also bears the brand’s eye-catching retro design.
The Equipe Revenge is a more intense twist on the same look as the Vela—like its brasher, older sibling. The details are more structured, with metallic accents and even more vivid colorways. Its open mesh adds a more streamlined and dynamic design, but you get the same boundary-pushing personality and technicality Diadora is known for. Like the Vela, the Revenge never compromises on style or performance, delivering a sneaker ready to go above and beyond… and take you with it.
You can shop both the Equipe Vela and Revenge now.
