The Atomo V7000 project embodies the rich Made in Italy tradition of diadora. This running shoe, the first to be manufactured in Italy in the past thirty years, was meticulously crafted at the Centro Ricerche Diadora and assembled in the historic in-house manovia.
Key features:
- Weight: 275 grams (size 9 UK)
- Anima technology
- 5mm drop
The V7000 is the ideal companion for both daily training sessions and long-distance races. It strikes a perfect balance between lightweight design, responsive performance, and cushioned support, all within a feather-light 275-gram package. This remarkable equilibrium is made possible by the innovative Anima technology, a special compound that enhances the midsole's responsiveness by 30% while reducing its weight by 20%.
Catering to enthusiasts of a low-drop design, the V7000 boasts a minimalistic 5mm drop. Now with a reinforced upper and a newly designed tongue that offers a lighter and more snug fit.
Sizing
- Length: Guidance conflicts: some sources say true to size, others including the brand's own guide suggest sizing up. Worth trying on
- Width and toebox: A narrow-leaning forefoot with a moderately narrow toebox that some find tight, with normal heel and midfoot width. Standard width only.
- Fit notes: A low-volume, snug shoe over the midfoot and instep, best suited to narrow-to-medium feet. It does need break-in, roughly 20 miles, after which the fit relaxes. Higher-volume feet should try it on first.
