FILA was founded in Biella, Italy in 1911 by brothers Ettore and Giansevero Fila. After establishing themselves as a quality brand with Italian flare for decades, FILA gained global recognition in the 1970s thanks to its outstanding tennis apparel. In the 1980s and 1990s, FILA grew even bigger thanks to its popularity in hip-hop, with rappers like LL Cool J popularizing its tracksuits. After years out of the spotlight, FILA has returned with some eye catching moves. The controversial Disruptor was a popular model during the chunky sneakers trend. FILA’s collaborations with [Gosha Rubchinskiy](https://www.grailed.com/collaborations/fila-gosha-rubchinskiy) also garnered a lot of attention.
