The Diadora Mythos Blushield 7 Vortice in Glacier Grey / Black / Royal Blue is a premium Italian-engineered daily training runner, now available at $54.99 — down from $140.00 retail, saving you 61%. Two sizes in stock: US Men’s 10.5 and 11. The Blushield 7 platform delivers Diadora’s most advanced cushioning iteration with the signature cyan Blushield pod visible through the outsole. Browse our full selection of Clearance Running Shoes.
The upper is built from a glacier grey engineered mesh and knit construction — lightweight and breathable, with tonal hexagonal perforations providing targeted ventilation zones across the forefoot and lateral midfoot. A bold black Diadora lightning bolt overlay anchors the midfoot laterally, while the royal blue collar and heel counter add a vivid contrast that ties to the Italian tricolore flag badge at the rear ankle. The padded collar and tongue are finished in matching blue, and navy/black laces with blue accent threads complete the build.
The midsole is where the Blushield 7 earns its name: a full white EVA foam stack wraps a visible cyan Blushield cushioning pod at the heel, providing proprioceptive feedback and impact absorption on hard surfaces. “BLU SHIELD” text is printed on the lateral midsole wall. Beneath it, the outsole uses D5000 carbon rubber compound in dark grey/charcoal with FlexFit longitudinal flex grooves — the same outsole compound Diadora uses across their performance running line.
This is the grey/blue colorway of the Blushield 7 Vortice — a different palette from the blue/black/silver and white/blue variants already in the store. The glacier grey upper is versatile enough for both technical training gear and casual athleisure use. At $54.99 with free shipping, this is the strongest price-per-performance ratio for a genuine Italian sport brand running shoe in the store.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Diadora Mythos Blushield 7 Vortice run true to size?
Yes, the Blushield 7 Vortice runs true to standard US sizing for most wearers. If you have a wider foot, sizing up half a size is recommended. Two sizes are available: US Men’s 10.5 and 11.
Is this pair brand new?
Yes — this is a brand-new, unworn pair in original Diadora packaging. It has never been worn and shows no signs of use.
What sizes are available?
Two sizes are in stock: US Men’s 10.5 and 11. Each is a single pair — clearance inventory is non-replenishable, so secure your size before it sells.
What is the Blushield 7 cushioning system?
Blushield is Diadora’s proprietary cushioning technology that uses a viscoelastic pod in the heel to absorb impact and return energy during the running stride. The version 7 iteration refines the pod geometry for a more responsive heel-to-toe transition compared to earlier generations.
How does the Mythos Blushield 7 Vortice compare to the original Mythos Blushield Vortice?
The Blushield 7 Vortice is a generation newer than the original Vortice, featuring the updated version 7 Blushield pod, a more modern engineered mesh upper, and revised outsole geometry. The cushioning stack is taller and the flex grooves are more pronounced for improved flexibility.
Is the D5000 outsole durable on road surfaces?
D5000 carbon rubber is Diadora’s performance compound designed specifically for asphalt and road training. It offers excellent abrasion resistance and grip on dry surfaces, and is the same compound used across Diadora’s competitive running line.
How comfortable is the Blushield 7 Vortice for long runs?
The full EVA midsole stack with the Blushield pod makes this one of the more cushioned shoes in Diadora’s lineup — well-suited for daily training distances of 5–15km. The FlexFit outsole grooves reduce foot fatigue on longer efforts by promoting natural flex.
How does this grey/blue colorway differ from other Mythos Blushield 7 Vortice colorways in the store?
The glacier grey/royal blue colorway features a lighter, more neutral upper compared to the blue/black/silver and white/blue variants. It’s the most versatile option for pairing with a range of running gear colours, and the only one with this specific grey base.
