The Diadora Mercury Elite, retailing for R$1,099.99, features premium materials to evoke the retro spirit of the ’70s
With a bold move that combines the nostalgic charm of the 70s with the innovation of the 21st century, Diadora presents the Mercury Elite in Brazil, marking its territory in the universe of street style with a proposal that is at the same time a tribute to comfort and a celebration of retro style. Sold for R$ 1,099.99, the model has high-quality materials, bordering on luxury, rarely seen in models of this price range in the country.
The Mercury Elite stands out for its upper made of high-quality, almost satin-like fabric and premium leather details, a combination that not only guarantees resistance, but also gives the sneaker a sophisticated look. Even the waxed finish on the pigskin and cowhide is not just an aesthetic detail; it offers additional protection against water, increasing the functionality of the shoe.
Designed to suit a variety of occasions, from casual to formal, the Mercury Elite’s timeless design is enhanced with contemporary touches. The midsole, equipped with a sturdy stabilizer, not only completes the design of the shoe, but also provides a more secure and stable step. The leather tongue on the top, but with molded foam on the inside, keeps the shoes well-fitting.
Comfort is one of the pillars of the Mercury Elite. The midsole features a generous dose of EVA combined with rubber to ensure a light and pleasant walk, excellent for everyday use. The removable insole in high-density foam completes this comfort package. The outsole is semi-treated, made of black rubber, which matches as much as possible the aged treatment received by the midsole.
Visual tries to emulate the artisanal concept
Inspired by the iconic running shoes of the late 70s, the model also brings some visual touches that give a Taylor Made touch to the shoe, produced in Europe. There are four types of leather with different finishes, visible stitching that joins these leathers and no excess glue or defects in the construction, which reinforces this aura of Italian design that sneakers have.
