From the Manufacturer
Fila began in 1911 in the small alpine town of Biella, Italy, a place renowned for manufacturing the world's finest textiles and weaving fabrics with impeccable quality, true innovation, and extraordinary beauty. Born of the city and its traditions, Fila is inspired by Biella's dedication to artistry, luxury, and elegance. It's Fila's birthright, it's in their soul, and it defines their future. They continue to enrich the athletic experience by improving comfort and performance with Italian design, quality craftsmanship, and refined materials. There is no feeling quite as luxurious as that of playing in Fila, and that is the reason for Fila's existence. We create what is desired, not just what is necessary.
Product Description
You wouldn't turn the Mona Lisa into a 3-D hologram or update the works of Shakespeare with emoticons and textspeak would you? Of course not. You leave the classics alone, which is why Fila has the good sense not to futz around with the Fila Classic men's athletic inspired shoes. Sure, Fila could "upgrade" the Classic tennis with some sort of lab-created microscopic cushioning bio technology, but why bother when the removable comfy insole padding will keep your feet plenty comfortable off the court? They could redesign the Fila Classic's timeless look according to the whims of the latest 14-year-old superstar, but how could they possibly improve on the always fashionable function over form low-profile beauty of the original Classic? Sometimes things are so perfectly made the first time that they should just be appreciated for what they are, not continually fiddled with. Would anyone honestly prefer "2B or not 2B, that's the ????, yo ;-D?" If so, don't let that person anywhere near your Fila Classic athletic inspired shoes.
