Equipe Nucleo Running Shoes

Smooth stride, city-ready style. Diadora’s Equipe Nucleo packs a lively DD Anima midsole into a low-drop (5 mm) daily trainer that feels light, cushioned, and quick from warmups to long runs. A breathable mesh upper and durable rubber underfoot round out a ride that just flows.

Why Equipe Nucleo works for daily miles
