Extra Butter x Diadora S8000 "Giallo 2.0"

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

Extra Butter and Diadora are teaming up for a blockbuster collab, drawing inspiration from Italian film and its colorful Giallo genre.

The Extra Butter x Diadora S8000 “Giallo 2.0” taps the 1970s film era for its muse as the S8000’s premium pig suede is dressed with a range of vibrant hues. Additionally, the collaborative sneaker includes ornate geometric accents that pay homage to deep cuts within the Giallo film archive. The pair will include a special hang tag and packaged in a colorful & geometric box, akin to the shoe’s tongue.

The term Giallo literally translates to yellow, which was originally a literary reference to yellow colored paperbacks of Italian mystery novels in the 1930s that focused on themes that
influenced a movement for Italian filmmakers decades later.

Unlike the classic American slashers that relied on gore and jump-scare tactics, Giallo films were more psychological and featured highly styled cinematography. The use of vivid colors that contrasted darker, macabre scenes became the
inspiration for designing the S8000’s color story.
