Diadora Maracana RTX 12 Review

One of the newest releases by Diadora is the Maracana RTX 12 cleat. Over time, while reviewing cleats, we have discovered that it is the cleats that offer most value for money that we love the most. Some people are under the impression that splashing the cash on a pair of cleats is going to result in a cleat that lasts all season. You only have to look at the Nike Mercurial Superfly to know that this is not the case! At only $79.95, Diadora have created a cleat that offers super comfort and a cleat that is designed to last more than just half a season! Our first impression when we received the Maximus was one of skepticism. But after testing the cleats for several weeks we have been nothing but impressed.

Here is what you need to know about the Diadora Maximus:

• The upper is made of an ultra soft and water resistant kangaroo leather.

• Inside the cleat there is an anti-stretch lining to ensure shape retention.

• Something I particularly like is the partial hidden loop lacing system for a more uniform kicking surface. If you look at the lacing, you will notice the top two notches on the inside of each cleat are out by about half an inch. What this effectively does is allow you to pull the laces tighter, ensuring the cleat is tight to your feet. This is something that is very unique to Diadora cleats.

• On the front of the cleat there is a visible area where touch Control application has been applied to increase the level of control.  Soft ankle lining for comfort.

• Diadora have created a double action shock absorbing system that helps eliminate unnecessary vibrations when contact is made with the ground. This essentially helps with the distribution of pressure on the foot, helping reduce heel and metatarsal injuries.
• Weigh in at 9.4oz.

We recommend the Diadora Maximus. It is a solid cleat that supplies not only a great deal of comfort, but also value for money. They are availalbe to purchase directly from Diadora, or you can purchase them from Soccer.com. If you do decide to purchase them, don’t forget to check out our coupon page for additional savings!
