The Bjorn Borg Diadora/FILA partnerships always left people scratching their head. How could he be wearing Diadora sneakers and be decked out in FILA gear? Doesn’t FILA make tennis shoes? Yes and no. You see, when Bjorn Borg was signed with FILA, FILA didn’t make tennis shoes at that time. With that, Borg was open to wear someone else’s sneakers which gave life to the Borg Elite, Junior and Lady Elite tennis shoes. Made with Australian wallaby leather they didn’t feature a radical design but were among the top tennis shoes of the day. Take a trip back to 1983 above!
