Running Shoes and Clothing Technologies
Spread your wings and fly, with Diadora. Thanks to Blushield, Flexoft and Da2 Plus special technologies, our running shoes guarantee the perfect cushioning and temperature regulation for your feet, which run fast and hardly touch the ground. Our clothing range is made using technical and ergonomic fabrics that support your movements and guarantee comfort, breathability and weather resistance. On this page, you can find out about all of Diadora's running technology.
CARBON PLATE
A carbon plate is positioned above the midsole embedded in thermosetting resin that extends along the entire length of the shoe. The main function of this plate is to reinforce the sole so that the energy discharged to the ground by the runner is not dispersed. Combined with the Anima PBX technology, it ensures an energy return of 80%, which is one of the highest standards on the market.
ANIMA
The Anima technology increases midsole responsivness by 30% compared to the EVA light compound, enabling a faster response by the shoe when hitting the ground. At the same time, the midsole weight is reduced by 20%, for lighter steps and longer runs. Overall, Anima has a reactivity level around 60%.
COOLCORE
Providing CHEMICAL-FREE and MECHANICALLY ENGINEERED TECHNOLOGY that ensures DYNAMIC THERMOREGULATION through fabric’s construction. It creates channels between the fibers allowing for a natural mechanical wicking and superior drying times. It has several benefit during the performance: HIGHER COOLING POWER over all the competitors, HIGHER DRYING EFFECT thanks to the high evaporation, UNIFORM HEAT DISTRIBUTION. COOLCORE featuring recycled content developed with environmentally friendly processing practices: RECYCLED FABRICS CERTIFIED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SUPPLY CHAIN UP TO THE FINISHED GARMENTS.
ANIMA N2
The new ANIMA N2 technology stands out for its extreme lightness and responsiveness, as well as its elevated cushioning. A special compound capable of increasing the responsiveness of the midsole by 40% while reducing its weight by 40%.
DDATTIVO
The DDATTIVO insola is a high-density foam, fully ventilated with a high absorption and desorption capacity, 100% breathable. It minimizes the thermal sensation and has antibacterial components that help eliminate odors.
DDATTIVO is extremely light and offers optimal performance without adding weight. The hihg-density foam prevents fatiue by ensuring excellent cushioning and restoring maximum energy.
ANIMA PBX
The new ANIMA PBX technology, created using super critical foaming, stands out for its extreme lightness and responsiveness, as well as its elevated cushioning. A special compound capable of increasing the responsiveness of the midsole by 55% while reducing its weight by 40%.
GRAPHENE
Fabric enriched with graphene that helps maintain body temperature at an optimal level. Thanks to graphene, the heat prodcuted by the human body is dispersed in hot climatic conditions and distributed evenly in cold climates.
Blushield
The morpho base carved respect the foot shape maintaining its natural anatomy. The nucleo of technology in S.B.S. mediates he impact between the foot and the morpho base. for an incomparable comfort. By fusing the morpho base and the nucleo Blushield minimises the asymetrical behaviour on the feet.
Dia Breath
Breathability and lightness thanks to the honeycomb structure of the microfi bre, sweat is absorbed by the fabric which is transmitted on the external side, where, thanks to the fi bre’s micro-capillarization it’s released in 1/3 of the time compared to traditional fabrics
CCB
medial stabilizer created to control torsional stability of the area of the arch support, giving the shoe lightness and stability without altering shock absorption.
Duratech 5000
special wear-resistant rubber compound assuring a far higher wear resistance than standard rubber, offering an effective solution to shoe heel wear.
Ortholite
OrthoLite insole is an open cell PU foam 95% breathable and keeps the foot cooler inside the shoe. OrthoLite will not break down in the shoe, unlike the other open-cell foams. A patented bioacideis adds to all OrthoLite foams to fi ght against the presence of fungus, bacteria and odor. Can be machinewashed and dried without losing durability
