Fila was founded in 1911 by the Fila brothers who were looking to cater for people who lived in the Italian Alps. The brand come to prominence in the 70's when they endorsed Tennis superstar Björn Borg.
In the 80's Fila BJ track tops, sweaters and tennis shirts were very popular within the Football Casual scene, and have enjoyed a recent revival after being featured alongside another 80's favourite Sergio Tacchini, in the films 'The Business' (2005) and 'The Firm' (2009). However, they are another brand whose licensing into other lines such as cheap trainers and socks have somewhat devalued their cachet. However, the vintage ranges still have kudos.
