Diadora is an Italian sportswear and footwear manufacturing company based in Caerano di San Marco (Veneto), subsidiary of Geox, founded in 1948. Diadora produces football boots and athletic shoes, as well as a range of apparel that includes t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, jackets, leggings, shorts, and compression garments. Diadora also commercialises football balls in the US market.[1]
Origins and development[edit]
Diadora was founded in 1948 by Marcello Danieli, who first began working in the trade as a young boy. He called his company “Diadora” a name suggested by a friend. The word comes from the name given by the Greeks of Byzantium to the Dalmatian town of Zadar. Originally called “de ladera” or “from Zadar,” it was mistakenly copied and translated from Dalmatian to Latin, becoming, along the way “Diadora.”[2][3] Danieli, helped by his wife, managed to successfully launch his first product, mountain climbing boots.[4]
The mid-1970s also marked Diadora’s entry into the football category, aided by Roberto Bettega, who provided consulting information. The company also added the tennis market signing endorsement agreements with Björn Borg.[2]
AC Milan striker Marco van Basten became the face of the company in the late 1980s, and launched his own personalized football boots, the San Siro Van Basten.[5] Other high-profile football players under Diadora sponsorship have included George Weah, Roberto Baggio,[2] Giuseppe Signori, Francesco Totti, Roy Keane and Antonio Cassano. While between 1997 and 2000, Diadora was the official kit supplier of A.S. Roma.

Erreà entered the English football market in 1994, signing a deal with then Premier League side Middlesbrough that lasted for many years.[2] Erreà were the kit manufacturer for Burnley Football Club from the 2005/06 championship season through to their first promotion to the Premier League in 2009/10. The company also signed a deal to supply Norwich City with equipment in 2011.[3]
