Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person
Women's Diadora
Italian sneakers two ways: retro Heritage styles for every day, and running shoes like the made-in-Italy Atomo. Plus the Trofeo 2 for pickleball.
The thing everybody gets wrong
They're Supposed to Look Worn
Heritage styles with "Used" or "Dirty" in the name come out of the box looking broken in, with an aged sole and a little patina. That's on purpose. The vintage finish is the point, and it's why they go with everything.
The Styles
Heritage — Equipe, B.Elite and B.560
Diadora's retro line, pulled from its old tennis and running shoes. Leather and suede, easy to dress up or down. The B.Elite goes back to the tennis shoe Björn Borg made famous.
Atomo V7000 — made in Italy
A cushioned neutral running shoe built in Diadora's own factory in Italy. Low 5mm drop, and the insole comes out if you wear an arch support.
Cellula, Nucleo and Frequenza — everyday running and walking
More Diadora runners for daily miles and long walks. The Equipe Nucleo comes in wide in some colors.
Trofeo 2 — pickleball
A court shoe made for pickleball's quick side-to-side moves.
Sestriere XT — trail
For gravel, trails and wet grass.
How Diadora Fits
- Running shoes: about a thumb's width past your longest toe
- Heritage styles are leather and give a little, so snug to start is fine
- Need more room? Ask for the Equipe Nucleo in wide
- Unisex pairs are sized in men's. Women go up 1½, so a men's 7 is a women's 8½. The size shows both
Why We Carry It
Diadora gives you both sides: retro sneakers you'll wear everywhere, and a running shoe made in Italy that holds up to real miles. Most brands pick one.
