Story & heritage

The official page calls Magic an iconic Diadora trainer from the basketball section of the brand’s 1985 catalogue.

It is described as an evolution of the MI Basket, which makes it the second chapter in Diadora’s basketball-sneaker language.

Materials & craft

The current Low Suede Leather version uses leather and suede, while the original Magic formula is described with a calfskin upper, shock-absorbing midsole and insole, and a high-top strap.

The low version keeps the basketball reference but makes the shoe easier as everyday sportswear.

How to choose & style

Wear Magic Basket Low as the softer, more casual sibling to Mi Basket: shorts, loose denim and retro warm-up layers fit the shoe’s catalogue-era mood.

Choose saturated suede panels for a sportier read or tonal neutrals when you want only the shape to show.
