Expert Review Sources

  • Doctors of Running : 81.9 / 100 — « Built by Diadora around the Diadora proprietary foam midsole, the Atomo Star supports the gait cycle with a stable Diadora proprietary foam base and smooth forefoot rocker (268 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $250. »
  • RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « The Diadora Atomo Star is a retro-inspired maximalist trainer built for runners with deep pockets and a taste for exclusivity. We were impressed by its premium-quality materials and "Made in Italy" craftsmanship, which felt outstanding. However, we found in the lab that its extremely narrow fit and lack of a truly bouncy foam make the premium price harder to justify. »
  • The Running Collective : 78.4 / 100 — « In Diadora's daily trainer lineup, the Atomo Star strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (268 g, a 7.8 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.8 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
