All Elite Wrestling and Diadora's first shoe collaboration officially dropped this week via Champs Sports, celebrating the company's LGBTQ+ wrestlers with a version of the N9002 shoe featuring a multi-color overlay and the AEW logo. The official description for the shoe reads, "Inspired by the AEW's incredible LGBTQ+ talent, the Pride Month drop will feature a customized version of Diadora's revolutionary trainer, N9002: a classic black nylon-suede upper of with a prismatic, multi-color overlay and an AEW logo on the back. 

"The project was developed with the support of Foot Locker Inc.'s employee resource group called LACED WITH PRIDE, which is working to foster an inclusive work environment that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and their Allies through education and awareness," the release for the shoes read.
