JW Anderson Teams Up With Diadora on Equipe Sneaker, Release Date


JW Anderson’s new footwear collaboration with Diadora is finally here.

For the designer’s latest shoe collab, Anderson took on the Italian shoe brand’s Equipe trainer, which was originally created by Diadora in 1975 for elite athletes.

Nearly 50 years later, this archival unisex style is reimagined in four bold colorways selected by designer Jonathan Anderson – Green Night, Navy Peony, Empire Red and Princess Blue, each complete with logo branded hardware and laces.

Featuring a slim silhouette, swallowtail toe and heel-wrapping outsole, the sneaker was made in the heart of Montebelluna’s footwear district in Italy and was first introduced in the autumn/winter 2026 lookbook.

For the collaboration’s campaign, Anderson and Diadora tapped actor Conor Sánchez to front the spot, which was photographed by Sammy Khoury.

Diadora president Enrico Moretti Polegato told FN in a statement that the Equipe sneaker has “always represented an authentic expression” of the company’s heritage.

“Partnering with Jonathan Anderson brings bold creative energy to this iconic silhouette, merging Diadora’s sporting legacy with one of the most influential and culturally progressive voices in contemporary fashion,” Moretti Polegato added.

This isn’t the first time Anderson has teamed up with footwear brands on a shoe collaboration. In 2023, Anderson joined forces with Wellipets on a pair of rubber clogs that featured a frog’s face on the upper’s toe. Featured in an array of colors, the style was first seen on the designer’s fall/winter 2023 runway show at Milan Men’s Fashion Week.

Aside from Wellipets, Anderson was in a long-term partnership with Converse that began in 2017. In a series of several drops, the duo created memorable takes on the classic Chuck 70 and the Run Star Hike featuring a chunky platform.

The limited-edition JW Anderson x Diadora Equipe sneaker is now available to purchase at Jwanderson.com, Diadora.com, JW Anderson stores in London, Milan and Tokyo, as well as at Nordstrom.
