The upper of the Nnormal Kjerag has been created with a Matryx Evo Jacquard mesh, the highest-rated material Matryx produces, which is 10x more durable than standard mesh running shoes, increasing the durability of the upper, means a long-lasting shoe. The Matryx upper is a combination of polyamide and kevlar fibres that have been weaved together, the combination provides an abrasion-resistant finish that keeps your feet and shoes protected from rocks and trail debris.

Further increasing the comfort of the shoe Nnormal has included a wrap-round tongue to reduce chafing and irritation whilst also providing a stronghold and snug fit to reduce in-shoe movement as you run. Increasing the protection Nnormal has added TPU foils on the toe box and around the shoe to help prevent injury from knocks and scrapes whilst also acting as a mudguard. Finishing the upper of the Kjerag, is a traditional lacing system, that provides you with a locked-in and personalised fit for a comfortable run every time.
EExpure Midsole
EExpure is a new way of making foam and replacing standard EVA. The foam is created when heating the foam materials with CO2 gas which returns to its liquid state, this creates a new form of foam. The benefits of the process are that this provides you with a shoe that offers a high rebound and energy return, reducing fatigue so you can run further for longer, making it easier to clock up those miles. Not only this but it reduces the weight of the foam and the weight of the shoes overall, keeping you light on your feet and ready to hit those PB's. Although lightweight, the midsole is resilient, resisting wear which increases the life of the shoe. The midsole sits in direct contact with your foot, providing you with instant step-in comfort for a softer feel as you are running. This also helps to reduce in-shoe movement for a stable footing when on the trail.
Vibram Outsole
Finishing the shoe is the outsole, the Kjerag uses a combination of compounds created by Vibram. The first of the two is Megagrip, a high-performance rubber compound that offers unparalleled sticky grip and optimal ground adaptability, allowing you to tackle tricky terrain with ease whether the surface is wet or dry. The durable rubber offers rugged longevity providing unprecedented grip hike after hike and trail after trail. The second is Litebase, Vibram Litebase reduces the overall sole weight by 30%, through a reduction of the sole thickness by 50%, while still maintaining Vibram's quality in grip, traction and durability. The two Vibram compounds make the outsole of the Kjerag lightweight and grippy ready to tackle any trail you put in front of it.
