END. x Diadora Whip Up N9000 ‘Strawberries and Cream’

and are back at the fruit stand, and this time they’ve gone straight for dessert. The British retailer and the Italian sportswear stalwart have teamed up once again on the classic N9000, dressing the 90s runner in a luscious, pink, hairy suede that nods to the ultimate summer courtside snack and a greengrocer’s guilty pleasure, strawberries and cream.

This latest take continues END. and Diadora’s fruit salad theme, following and Glossy white PVC stripes, reflective 3M piping, and a translucent sole stamped with END. branding all add layers of detail to the creamy pink upper.

First launched in 1990, the N9000 was Diadora’s big push into the performance running market, loaded with dual-density midsoles, shock-absorbing tech, and the kind of plush cushioning that could chew up serious miles. What really set it apart was Diadora’s refusal to cut corners – the N9000 was built in Italy, and when it comes to premium drops and colabs, that tradition continues. Handcrafted in Caerano di San Marco, pairs like this END. edition keep the artisanal DNA alive, making the silhouette a favourite canvas for brands who want both retro-running credibility and luxury-level execution.

Retailing at $220, the collaboration lands via END. on August 23 – both online and in stores – before getting a wider Diadora release on September 4.
