For the fifth consecutive year, Diadora Utility is renewing its historic partnership with the May Day “Concertone,” outfitting the technical staff of the most anticipated concert of the year with safety apparel and footwear. And in this tireless behind-the-scenes world, where everything moves at a frenetic pace, Utility aims to amplify the message that “Safety Makes Noise.” To emphasize this message, there will be a photo reportage of the technicians working behind the scenes, as well as testimonials from the artists themselves, who, in a dedicated corner on the sidelines of their performances, will have the opportunity to highlight the importance of working safely. A collective narrative, destined for the brand’s social media pages, to raise awareness of fundamental issues such as the protection of workers in every environment and context. For the occasion, the new Glove A.Box will make its world premiere. This safety footwear embodies the cutting-edge technology of Diadora Utility, designed to achieve new performance milestones thanks to an innovative construction and a selection of materials that maximize breathability. On the one hand, the innovative A.Box construction, patented by Diadora, features a redesigned structure with side ventilation holes, specifically engineered to provide greater foot ventilation, and a midsole placement that enhances its cushioning and responsiveness; on the other hand, the use of Ariatex, the new-generation breathable membrane developed at the Diadora Research Center, which is completely PFAS-free, waterproof, breathable, and durable. This combination acts like a true “pump effect” with every step: while blocking water from entering, it allows excess moisture to escape much more easily, keeping the foot dry in all weather conditions.
