The new Diadora Jet Racer introduce a number of important technical innovations, such as the new NET sole, but the whole shoe has been revised and improved in a fundamental way than the model Proracer 2.0.

New sole, carbon fiber, has large ventilation holes and a new set of reference points for positioning the cleats. The heel, rubber non-slip top and is interchangeable with the addition of another top heel in order to better protect the sole. The inner sole is covered with the NET Breathing System, the waterproof and breathable Diadora system. The insole is anatomical and perforated, so as to improve the ventilation of the foot. The upper is perforated and provided with large ventilation areas. The heel is covered in soft fabric thermoformed material inside the shoe, the same as that used for the inside of the upper. The flap is padded and always with the network to improve breathability. The straps are three, plus a security one, the first equipped with Velcro, the second with Velcro and Quick Adjustment locking, the third with stepless ratchet and the fourth is Velcro placed under ratchet for maximum stability instep. The Quick Adjustment allows for rapid closure of the strap, partially covered with silicone, and better sealing of the closure itself, always combined with Velcro at the bottom. The ratchet strap can be positioned at three different points, allowing you to find the best possible position, so that once pulled remains at the center of the instep. The shoes are available in sizes ranging from 37 to 47 including half sizes, in five different colours. The size 42 has a weight of 195 grams (one shoe), as detected with our instrumentation.
