Foam Technology

  • Anima Midsole Foam - A lightweight EVA-based performance foam that sits in Diadora’s premium daily-trainer tier, designed to balance cushioning, durability, and long-run stability rather than ultra-soft max cushioning. Underfoot, Anima provides a moderately soft yet controlled feel that supports smooth transitions and consistent protection across daily mileage.
  • Anima N2 Forefoot Insert - A responsive insert positioned in the forefoot to improve rebound and toe-off efficiency, helping the shoe maintain a lively feel during longer runs without sacrificing stability.
