Features

The Diadora Nucleo 2 is built to take you the distance in comfort.

Powering your stride is Diadora’s energetic Anima foam that increases responsiveness and rebound while significantly reducing weight so you’ll feel light and fast on your feet. Then, the Dnattivo insole takes this shoe to the next level with extra cushioning in the heel, a springy forefoot experience and an internal mid-foot structure to help reduce foot fatigue.

Details:

  • Upper: An air mesh nylon and microfiber upper offers maximum breathability and flexibility. The redesigned tongue is secured laterally with elastic mesh to prevent twisting and maintain a snug, personalized fit.
  • Midsole: Boasting a 30% increase in responsiveness and a 20% reduction in weight, the Anima midsole delivers an astonishing 65% total rebound. On top sits a multi-density Dnattivo insole to keep your feet supported, protected and comfortable.
  • Outsole: The Duratech 5000 outsole is a wear-resistant rubber compound that ensures uniform ground traction for a smooth, confident ride.

Best walking/training shoes ever!

Pam R 2 months ago Verified Purchase

I am so impressed with the comfort and support of these shoes I had an evaluation at Fleet Feet (Austin,Texas) this summer and tried several brands, after which I noticed the Diadora As soon as I tried it, the comfort, fit and look won me over The clerk recommended the wide but I choose regular and after three months am very happy with my choice One of the standout features is the tongue design…it doesnt slip down and bunch up like other running shoes Another thing I’ve noticed is the resilience at the back of the foot I usually just slip into these without re-tying and previous shoes (Mizuno for the past 20 years) wear a hole behind the heel These are holding up after daily wearing for over three months I recently ordered another identical pair….i’m keeping them until these begin to wear I tried the other Diadora (Cellula?) and sent them back because the tongue was flimsy and bunched up when sliding my foot in I really have no complaints and hope Fleet Feet will continue to offer Diadora!

I work a job where I average 15k-20k steps a day. And these are the first shoes that last longer than 6 months, as well as MY FEET DONT HURT. Thank you Diadora and Fleet Feet for helping me find these! This is my second pair btw!

Feels like I'm springing to my next step!

Desireé T 3 months ago Verified Purchase

These shoes are absolutely what my feet and my body needed! I have been struggling to find a shoe that delivered a comfortable running feel, but also gave me the stability I needed to get through the runs. I've noticed in other shoes that the narrow toe box has ruined my feet, and these shoes are letting my toes live freely and still giving me a stable base for my runs. I feel like I'm running on clouds with no physical pain and spring into the next step. I'm so happy with these shoes and look forward to putting a lot of miles under my feet with these without regret
