I remember when I was a kid in Brazil... FILA was a very popular brand back then and Nike was just something that someone had heard about once. Adidas and some brazilian brands which no longer exist were somehow huge too but to my eyes, nothing could be compared to the magic F.
Years have passed and I've left Brazil too. First to England and then to Sweden in Malmö, where I live today and as was forced to change my dressing style to a more proper due to professional reasons, unfortunately I sort of forgot about FILA's existence till on a beautiful day I came across that beautiful logo again. Red/white/blue and I realized what I missed during all those years and that's when the quest had started again. I used the word QUEST because it turned out to be very hard to find FILA stuff (at least here in Sweden) but I wouldn't give up.
I tried to look at sports shops here and online so Stadium and Intersports were my first choices but it seems that Adidas and Nike have taken over Sverige. But one day, when I had almost lost all my hope, I decided to look at eBay and voilĂ ... Loads of stuff waiting to be bought.
After a while I got to know that they also had one online shop but this is weird because they always have only a few items while at eBay there is a huge variety of almost everything.
Since then I started collecting all sorts of stuff made by FILA and I intend to use this space to expose the itens and maybe discuss with other FILA fans.
