The background of this blog is that of one of my favourite shoes the Diadora Queen 70 otherwise known back in the day as 400m Hurdle Olympic Gold Medal Winner Ed Moses Signature Shoe.

| Ed Moses with his OG Range |
One of the first Running shoes to become popular on UK Terraces the Queen has seen two re-releases over the past last two years of four colours in each.
I have say after four reasonably good CW’s in the first batch, last seasons although none being anything but good looking shoes they did lack a bit of OG Moses from the 80’s liking for weird colours. This new batch has seen a return to more the feeling of the first batch.
I particularly like the Grey and Green myself best out this lot and the Yellow and Black I also find quite fetching. Those with a keen eye may also noticed that Diadora have gone to the attention of making this new batch’s soles look more OG versions in the texture of the foam on the soles.
Also great to see Diadora try doing the Silver Ed Moses again after a semi failed attempt the first time. When the shoe first came out in the 1980's the Silver Version was actually the most prized by Casuals and first re-release let many down.
