Diadora Cellula 2 review: what runners say
Fit
True to size, wider than the previous version to accommodate higher-volume feet. Toebox runs short for some: possible toe cramping on long distances.
Feel
Stable, protective cushioning; balanced midsole but with no real energy return. Smooth ride at easy paces; above 4 min/km the shoe feels heavy and unresponsive.
Durability
Duratech 5000 outsole, roughly 3 mm, nearly intact after 190 km. Conservative estimate 800 km, with potential up to 1,000–1,200 km.
Best for
Runners seeking protection and stability on long easy efforts and daily mileage. Greatest advantage for heavier runners who better activate the Anima N2 pod.
Weak points
Midsole feels dated and lacks energy return compared to direct competitors. Price of €170–185 considered excessive for the performance delivered.
