Norda 005

The lightest, fastest, most stable super shoe ever crafted for trail runners. Engineered for race day(s). The 005 features new technologies aimed to redefine what trail running super shoe performance should feel like.  Rather than simply take technological conventions from road running and apply them to trail, we have developed a highly responsive and stable shoe with super critical foam that caters to the specific demands of race day performance on trail.  We recommend to go up 1/2 size (US) from your normal size.  Upper - An open mesh Bio-Dyneema® and recycled upper is impossibly strong and featherlight. The weave pattern allows for maximum breathability and rapid water drainage. Laces - The laces are 4mm instead of 5mm to reduce weight. They are made with Dyneema®, providing higher abrasion resistance, more stretch and is 4x as strong as a standard lace. 005 Fit-Lock System - The 005 has a proprietary fit lock system detailed for race day. The heel collar is designed with pods for increased foot lockdown, comfort and reducing debris entry. The tongue is a smooth, perforated microsuede that molds to the foot and allows for heat to escape during high intensity running. This fit lock system is finished off with a new interior foot binding technology which is engaged via the laces and ensures unwavering stability. Insole - Two insoles. A molded Arnitel® TPEE insole comes ready inside the 005 for training mileage. An additional die-cut insole is included for race days when you’re looking to shave even more weight. Midsole - The 005 features an entirely pure Arnitel® (TPEE) midsole unlike any shoe ever has before. This allows for the 005 to be incredibly lightweight and responsive while remaining highly durable. While most supershoes are engineered for race day, the 005 is engineered for race days – plural. Tongue - The tongue material is a smooth microsuede that molds the foot and is detailed with perforation to reduce heat. Heel collar - Bigger pods at the collar area for a more tight collar fit and to reduce debris from coming in. Soleplate - A brand new norda full length one piece soleplate design featuring the world's first release of Vibram® Megagrip Elite rubber. This is a race day compound, which is the grippiest and lightest formulation ever created by Vibram®. The increased traction of the Megagrip Elite allows for varying lug heights, which accommodate seamless transitions between technical trails and fire roads.
