Many commented to wear this in the 20th century like it’s 1995, it’s definitely made to enhance your streetwear looks.

Simply breathtaking details

Reinforced stitching throughout the sneaker makes it durable and boosts its longevity.

Walk anywhere, comfort everywhere

Sneakerheads appreciate the padded tongue and collar of this shoe which brings all-day comfort, and the textile lining and mesh sock liner cushion every stride.

EVA cushioned footbed for comfort, EVA molded midsole for impact support, and EVA molded rubber outsole with complex deep tread pattern for great ground grip. Fila logo details appear on the woven strap, lateral side, heel, and tongue to complete the look. 

Fila Fast Charge: Where it all started

Founded in Northern Italy in 1911 and focused mostly on underwear, Fila moved into the sportswear scene in the 1970s. By the ‘90s, it became popular for its tracksuits and its trainers. Tupac was a fan of the Grant Hill shoe which was Fila’s unmemorable attempt to work with NBA player Grant Hill - as Nike had done with Michael Jordan. Still, unlike mega brands Nike and Adidas, Fila never became one. It got lost in history, only appearing occasionally in the wasteland of Etsy listings. 

When the Balenciaga Triple S took the fashion industry by storm in 2017, it kickstarted the wave of oversized trainers. Fila took a look at their archive and reimagined their chunky silhouettes from the 1990s. They upgraded the materials and updated the fit and put out the chunky iterations like the Fila Fast Charge on the market.

The Fila Fast charge was inspired by the 1990s Fila Distributor Strap.  The 90s-inspired style played a role in the shoe’s popularity in street style.
