Norda released the innovative Norda 001 trail running shoe in 2021. The shoe is lightweight, strong and durable and made with sustainable materials. The upper is a one piece seamless and is a woven bio-based Dyneema®. The midsole Cushioning is the norda™ x Vibram® SLE (a proprietary blown EVA) with a norda™ x Vibram® soleplate. The outsole is Vibram’s Megagrip that has 5 mm lugs for improved traction. The men’s size US8.5 weighs 247g. The stack height in the heel is 26mm and 21mm in the forefoot (drop of 5mm). The fit is said to be ‘true to size‘.
“When we set out to create the norda 001, our mission was to design an ultra-strong and durable high performance trail running shoe, and do it as sustainably as possible,” state Willamina and Nick Martire, co-founders of the Canadian footwear brand norda. “To achieve our goal, we had to look outside of the standard materials used by the footwear industry. We realized the properties of bio-based Dyneema beat everything available today.” Source
The price of the shoe is at the higher end which is typical for these boutique type running shoes.
Norda collaborated with Ciele Athletics for the limited edition Ciele x Norda 001 colorway, dubbed the “Cooper’s Hawk”.
