Maximize Your Energy for Race Day

The Diadora Gara Carbon 2 is the ultimate race-day partner, helping you get the most out of what you put in. At the center of this masterpiece is one of the most efficient carbon plates you’ll find in a running shoe, utilizing unique and extreme geometry. The peak of the plate sits at the heel, dips down low at the forefoot, then rises again slightly at then end for an explosive toe-off.

The carbon fiber plate is sandwiched inside ANIMA PBX, a foam compound the elevates midsole rebound by 55% while reducing weight by 40% when compared to traditional EVA. This propulsion-to-weight ratio delivers a whopping 80% total energy return.

Using only top quality materials, the Gara Carbon 2 features a Matryx mesh upper that’s crafted with carbon yarns. You’ll love the lightweight and breathable fit it provides, as well as the structure it provides through the midfoot. Along the outsole, Diadora uses Duratech 5000, a special rubber compound that’s wear-resistant, helping to extend the life of your shoes while also increasing traction.
