Baba Yaga, the evil witch of Slavic folklore, has long struck fear into the hearts of those who crossed her path. With her iron teeth and skeletal frame, she rode through the night on a flying mortar, seeking to wreak havoc and bring misery to innocent souls. However, the day of reckoning finally came for Baba Yaga when a brave hero took it upon themselves to confront and ultimately annihilate the wicked witch. This hero, armed with their wit and courage, ventured deep into the enchanted forest where Baba Yaga resided. The journey was treacherous, with enchanted creatures and menacing spirits lurking at every turn. Yet, the hero pressed on, driven by the desire to rid the world of Baba Yaga's malevolence.
While a 10mm drop and with the noted rebound spring at the rear they are a bit flat in feel and could use more roll forward through less vertical sidewalls, a touch longer flex or a more abrupt drop towards the front.
The rides are quite similar with Blushield in both and with the Vigore having the great DD Anima foam of the Atomo but a lot of it along with the Blushield elements and a polyurethane layer. 6 oz heavier, the underfoot ride of the 880 is softer with, as with the Glide Max below, not quite the midfoot spring and pop of the Volo but with a smoother more energetic toe off.
Yet, the hero pressed on, driven by the desire to rid the world of Baba Yaga's malevolence. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the hero arrived at Baba Yaga's ominous hut. The hut, perched upon chicken legs, spun around on its axis, making it near impossible to enter.

About DIADORA
About DIADORA
Diadora is an Italian sportswear and footwear manufacturing company based in Caerano di San Marco (Veneto), subsidiary of Geox. Founded in 1948, it also has locations in Brazil, the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and Bangladesh.
These days Diadora produces a wide range of clothing products that include t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, jackets, leggings, shorts, and compression garments. The company also produces footwear (football boots and other athletic shoes). Diadora also commercialises football balls in the US market.
Origins and development
Diadora was founded in 1948 by Marcello Danieli, who first began working in the trade as a young boy. He called his company "Diadora" a name suggested by a friend. The word comes from the name given by the Greeks of Byzantium to the Dalmatian town of Zadar. Originally called "de ladera" or "from Zadar," it was mistakenly copied and translated from Dalmatian to Latin, becoming, along the way "Diadora." Danieli, helped by his wife, managed to successfully launch his first product, mountain climbing boots.
The mid-1970s also marked Diadora's entry into the football category, aided by Roberto Bettega, who provided consulting information. The company also added the tennis market signing endorsement agreements with Björn Borg.
AC Milan striker Marco van Basten became the face of the company in the late 1980s, and launched his own personalized football boots, the San Siro Van Basten. Other high-profile football players under Diadora sponsorship have included George Weah, Roberto Baggio, Giuseppe Signori, Francesco Totti, Roy Keane and Antonio Cassano.

In June 2009, Diadora reached an agreement with Italian shoe-making company Geox's founder and chairman Mario Moretti Polegato to buy its assets through his family's investment arm, LIR.
Since then, Diadora has sponsored several football clubs to provide them team uniforms, such as Norwegian Eliteserien clubs, Viking FK and FK Bodo/Glimt.
Sam: At about the same weight with 4mm more cushion at the heel and 6mm more at the forefoot Volo (despite appearances), the Cumulus 24 gets an all soft and bouncy Flytefoam Blast midsole and of course has GEL and soft front rubber. The result, compared to Volo, is a flatter softer rear ride that lacks the spring and pop of the Blushield at the heel but has a smoother toe off. While one can’t say the Volo upper is particularly structured its mesh and clever overlays provide a slightly more secure mid foot hold while the Cumulus softer more knit like mesh is more front foot conforming but stretchy to the Volo’s roomier fit and clever front overlays. Very slight Volo preference as I like its rear firmer pop and stability over the softer and flater feel of the Cumulus which could benefit I think from a return of a small plastic shank as Volo has with its plastic Blushield "cover".
