Diadora Cellula 2
A highly protective, stable 38/33mm trainer with a new supercritical insert that livens up toe-off. RTR recommends it for recovery days, long slow distance, and heavier runners. It gained nearly an ounce over v1 and runs short in sizing.
Reach for the Diadora Cellula 2 for easy recovery days, everyday training miles and long runs. 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. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Very protective and stable
- Supercritical insert adds rebound
- Great for heavier runners and walking
- Heavy at 10.9 oz
- Pricey for a mostly-EVA trainer
- Runs short
