Not availableUse your energy where it matters most - breaking records, hitting top speeds, and redefining your limits. Gara Carbon is the ultimate race-day tool, combining unparalleled responsiveness, stability, and comfort.
We’ve taken it further. Meet Gara Carbon 3: a lighter, faster evolution built for unmatched energy return.
Just like the previous versions, Gara Carbon 3 is powered by a carbon plate developed to create an extreme shape with a maximum curvature: high on the hill height, low on the forefoot and high toe spring. Embedded in the midsole, a full-length carbon fiber plate in thermoset resin enhances rigidity, ensuring no energy is wasted as it propels you forward.
Engineered with ANIMA PBX, this compound elevates midsole rebound by an impressive 55% while cutting weight by 40% compared to EVA Light. Now weighing just 208 grams, Gara Carbon 3 delivers unmatched propulsion with an 85% total energy return, verified through rigorous lab testing. Its Matrix Mesh upper, reinforced with carbon fibers, adds lightweight support for peak performance.
Gara Carbon 3 continues to set a new benchmark for performance - the ultimate tool for chasing records on the road and training for top speed on the track.
Carbon plate
Extreme curvature, developed to provide maximum thrust and propulsion
Races on the road and track
Beat your records and reach maximum speed thanks to the carbon plate and Anima PBX technology
Anima PBX technology
Cushioning, responsiveness and lightness. Anima PBX is the new Diadora technology in PEBAX SCF (Super Critical Foaming) that increases midsole rebound by 55%, while reducing its weight by 40%
Extreme rebound
Laboratory tests show a total rebound of 80%
Mesh Matrix upper Mesh Matrix upper with carbon fibres to lighten the shoe
Technologies
A carbon plate is positioned above the midsole embedded in thermosetting resin that extends along the entire length of the shoe. The main function of this plate is to reinforce the sole so that the energy discharged to the ground by the runner is not dispersed. Combined with the Anima PBX technology, it ensures an energy return of 80%, which is one of the highest standards on the market.

A new frontier in stability running shoes. With Blushield N2, new standards are achieved in terms of stability, impact protection, push-off responsiveness, and energy return.The updated Blushield technology, now visible and touchable, stays true to its core purpose: reducing asymmetric foot behavior. The new ANIMA N2 Core extends to the outer sole, enhancing rebound and overall running feel. Paired with an asymmetric EVA Light Morpho Base, the shoe provides targeted support and adaptive stability, especially in the medial area of the foot—intervening only when needed. On the heel, cushioning has improved by 1%, energy absorption has decreased by 11%, and energy return has increased by 15%. On the forefoot, cushioning increases by 16% and energy return by 29%.
