norda 001A Women's Trail Running Shoes
The 001A is engineered with the lightest and strongest materials for mindless comfort on mindful pursuits. Optimally-cushioned ultra distance shoe equipped with a proprietary Arnitel TPEE midsole that demonstrates benchmark resiliency, strength and mechanical property retention, along with the world's first seamless Dyneema upper and an exclusive Vibram outsole for unparalleled performance and durability.
Bio-Dyneema One-Piece Woven Upper
The 001 will allow you to tackle those tricky trails, and thanks to the bio-based Dyneema woven uppers, they will provide you with the confidence that your shoes will get you to the finish. Bio-Dyneema is a super-durable material, exclusively manufactured by Avient, with an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethene and is the strongest of any thermoplastic. The first of its kind, this Bio-Dyneema design is up to 15 times stronger than steel, yet still floats in water. This unique compound, therefore, protects feet in changing environments, preventing damage from bumps, scrapes and scratches on trail running endeavours. The lightweight 001 has a seamless structure that allows you to slip your foot in and go without feeling discomfort or irritation during excessive movement. Preventing overheating, the breathable structure allows constant fresh air to circulate through the shoes, reducing discomfort when your run gets tough. The quick-drying properties reduce the build-up of sweat or moisture, keeping feet dry and cool. Diamond-designed norda laces are constructed with Dyneema to enhance abrasive resistance, add stretch and are 4x as strong as standard lacing. Working in tandem to lock down the midfoot, the norda fit-lock system uses a proprietary interior foot-binding technology that engages through the laces and holds your foot in place. The ultra-light, fully gusseted norda designed tongue protects your foot from dirt and debris entering and helps to hold your foot in place. To provide extensive visibility when you need it most, the shoes feature a high-vis counter and pull tab, alongside reflective tape bonded to the uppers to keep you seen in low light.
norda x Arnitel TPEE Midsole
Ensuring lightweight comfort, for effortless strides across treacherous trails and up tricky hill climbs, the 001A utilises norda's midsole collaboration with an Arnitel TPEE compound for soft, cushioned wearing. Arnitel TPEE is a lightweight, resilient compound to provide high-performance standards for non-stop wearable comfort and distraction-free experiences. The soft, cushioned compound stands up against long journeys while providing shock-absorbing properties to help reduce the risks of injury when tackling changing terrains. Working with this, the custom-designed eTPU insole provides optimum energy absorption and excellent return to propel you into your next stride.
norda x Vibram Outsole
An exclusive norda x Vibram design features on the 001a outsole, a Formation sole that uses a combination of Litebase and Megagrip rubber technology. To preserve energy while keeping you stable and secure on a range of trail running surfaces, the Litebase compound reduces the overall weight of the shoes by 30% by reducing thickness, while ensuring grip, traction, and durability remain. The Megagrip sole is a high-performing rubber compound that further assists in keeping feet stable on the constantly changing ground below and keeping you confident when things become tough. The sole provides a solid grip on muddy, wet or slippery conditions, as well as on dry trails and has outstanding durability so you can rely on these shoes for the long run. Adorning the outsole are strategically placed 5mm lugs that dig deep into the ground below.
