AEW and Diadora are collaborating and releasing the Diadora N9002’s to help celebrate Pride Month. The Diadora N9002 has a Black suede style finish and a multi-colored design and features the AEW logo on the back of each shoe. The shoes are sold exclusively on Champssports.com and their affiliated sites.
The initiative for the shoe release was led by LACED WITH PRIDE, an employee resource group connected to Champs Sports Parent Company Foot Locker Inc.
It was also announced that $25,000 would be donated to The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people.

There will be additional AEW and Diadora x collaborations shoe releases this year.
Andrade El Idolo, Lucha Bros (Penta Oscuro & Rey Fenix), and Santana & Ortiz shoes will release in the fall and are to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month between September and October. The Young Bucks, who also happen to be shoe collectors, are next in line for a shoe release, with a release date still to be determined.
The Young Bucks have discussed using shoes to lean into their heel personas in the past, and that article can be viewed here.
