Diadora Cellula
A soft-yet-quick-rebounding Anima-foam daily trainer on a broad, inherently stable 33/28mm platform. One of RTR's top 2024 picks for runners who want lively cushioning without extreme stack heights. Traction off pavement is weak and the price runs high for the category.

Who it's for
Reach for the Diadora Cellula for everyday training miles and easy recovery days. A wide, stable base keeps it steady without stability hardware, so it's a good pick if you're mostly neutral but like a planted feel.
