** The Diadora Thread ** - Concepts "Rat Pack" N9000

I think there's some manufacturing and quality control faults though. Not as good as the Saturday specials, perhaps indicating an increase in numbers?

I think it's safe to assume that they're slowly increasing production numbers, anything else wouldn't make sense from a business point of view.

I still hope they'll find a way to release both premium quality releases for sneaker nerds like us while still dropping GRs for people who are just looking for "a pair of Diadoras" once the brand gets more recognition by casual buyers.

I think NB has this down to perfection with the high quality US/UK made shoes they release while still being able to sell larger numbers by also offering cheaper Asian made sneakers.
 
I'm slightly puzzled. I keep seeing people mention that u have to go a minimum of .5 size down on N9000's. YET i have MANY Diadoras , especially N9000's, and i could never do a size 10 (i'm a natural size 10.5). I do not have a wide foot at all, if anything it's average or even more on the narrow side. Just wondering where all this info is coming from. I had a size 10 and an 11 in the Sat Specials since i couldn't attain a 10.5 and was forced to sell the 10 as it was too small, whereas the 11 was at least doable.

IF only i had seen this before, i sold my size 10 for a great price. Dont overpay for these just yet (until the Cncpts/RF collabs drop) as u can still find Diadoras for relatively affordable prices as the market is still small for them currently (for now).

Couldn't agree more.. I'm a sz 9 and all 6 of my n9000s are sz 9 and fit perfect. 8.5 def would've been too snug. In fact, the first Pattas are even a bit snug and I Prob could've done a 9.5. I keep hearing everyone say go half sz down and I'm not sure why. I guess everyone's feet are different tho so who knows
 
One last thing, if anyone has a U.S. size 10.5 Espresso plse let me know as i have a size 11 and would love to trade for my actual size. thanks 

P.S. sorry for the string of messages

i know man, it's weird. For a while i was wondering if this was mostly rumors since most people don't own many Diadoras (yet). I have been one of the few who have owned MANY over the years and especially all the collabs recently , and i feel they are as TTS as u can get 
 
My italias and two hanons are a half size down and fit great. My espretto's are TTS and they fit great too, I don't think there is that much of a difference in all honesty
 
I'm a true 10.5 and all of my n9000's are a U.S. 10 UK 9.5. If I would've went true to size I would've been swimming in them. You can tell they run big based on the euro size in cm. A 10.5 is 43.5 cm (eur) but in diadora a 10 is 44 cm which is closer to a size 11.
I know everyone's feet are different but I have to have agree with the consensus of a half size down.
 
u sure tho bro

u sure tho ? Cuz in Nike's and most other shoes (non Diadora's or New balances) only Japan uses CM's i believe. And Euro sizes on Diadora boxes vs Nike boxes for example are always on par with one another. ONly difference is the UK to USA conversion 
 
well looking at a Nike box (size 10.5) the eur sizing is 44.5 on asics it's 43.5 and a diadora 10 is 44

Maybe I was wrong about the cm but Diadoras DEFINITELY run big im holding one up to the toe of a Nike 11 and they're exactly th same length.
 
all N9000 i have run half size bigger than my standard nike/jordan/asics gl3 and gl5 size. i have the same size in n9000, nb 998, nb577,sagas,adidas. getting my n9000 in same size as my nike would be wrong. i have normal feet btw.
 
im still confused also on sizing before i buy my first diaorda at a local meet up. my tts is a 9 in nb997/998. i go .5 up on asics gl3/5 having a wide foot. worried if i go .5 down my fit be to snug any body with wide feet can comment ?
 
For people that missed the Diadora N9000 x Patta "italia" there some up on eBay right now.

Saw a US 10.5 and US 9 up for listing. They dropped more in Europe it seems.

bro i stand by my TTS to the max opinion but i know others feel like they run a half size big. I own about 9 pairs of Diadoras currently  and with the exception of the italias, all the pairs are very consistent in sizing....  but maybe it really does depend on the person. I'm just so puzzled cuz i have as normal of a foot as can be  lol. IMO TTS is the safe bet for u since ur better off with a sneak a tad too big than a sneak too snug (nothing is worse than a shoe that is too tight imo). just my 2 cents tho .

Anyone know what the Eur sizing is for a USA size 10? Is it a 43?
 
A little late but I've been mourning the entire weekend. Can't believe i struck out on the transits. The site was crashing and by the time it loaded i couldn't check out in time and got cartjacked. Pretty bummed.
