Designed in Canada for terrains just like New Zealand. From trail running to thru-hiking or just the most durable day-to-day footwear your feet have been inside. A trail shoe to outshine and outlast, so you can get more kilometres in.
The world’s first seamless, trail running shoe is constructed with a bio-based Dyneema upper - the strongest fibre on the planet that is 15 times stronger than steel for its weight and a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fibre.
Both the midsole cushioning and the soleplate on the Norda 001 and 002 are Norda x Vibram exclusive. The midsole is made from Vibram SLE foam for cushioning that’s generously soft and strikingly responsive and the outsoles utilise Vibram’s Litebase and Megagrip technologies to cut weight and add traction. Most trail shoes on the market have parts of Vibram Megagrip glued in specific areas. In contrast Norda make the whole outsole out of Megagrip, avoiding potential sections falling off and helping maintain grip even when the shoes are worn.
Every individual has different expectations for their shoes. Nordas are put through rigorous lab testing and trail running before final production. As a general rule, shoes should last a year and should be replaced every 700km. That being said, many athletes are racking up over 1600km on their nordas and swear they still feel great. Nordas are virtually indestructible and thus can be used in any way your mind and heart desire, including road, walking or indoors.
