History
The Fila Fitness was reissued in 2003, this time under the name F13. Just in case you weren’t sure the F stands for Fila and 13 is because this was the 13th trainer they’d released. Years have passed since the original release date in 1988. Many more trainers have been released and in a market so crowded their simple look makes them as fresh today as they ever have been.
They were originally made for casual exercise but you can wear them anywhere. They also came in low cut and high top. The high top version comes with a velcro ankle strap.

Key Drop Variations
Fila High Tops
When the trainer was re-released in 2003 they opted for the high top version rather than the low cut. They come with a velcro strap that gives the trainers a classic look. High tops are not just for the basketball court and work really well with skinny jeans.
Fila f13 white
Every man needs a pair of white trainers and a fresh pair of F13s will look great with pretty much anything. The simple design comes into its own with the F13s and shows off how impressive they are.
Fila F13 Black
The F13s in black work really well because the design is so simple. The Fila logo also works alongside the jet black faux suede material. Although they don’t go with everything, we all need at least one pair of black trainers in our collection and these Fila’s are definitely comfortable enough to take that spot.
