norda 001 Trail Running Shoes

The 001 is the world's first seamless, lightest, trail running shoe made with Bio-Dyneema, a super strong and lightweight material. A shoe that doesn't put any limits on how fast, how far or where to. Designed to prove that performance and sustainability should always run together.

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, which has exclusively been 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 travel through the shoes, reducing discomfort when things get tough, and quick-drying properties reduce the build-up of sweat or moisture for dry, cool feet. 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 lockdown the midfoot, the norda fit lock system uses proprietary interior foot binding technology which 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 most need it, 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 Vibram SLE Midsole

Ensuring lightweight comfort, so you can stride across treacherous trails and up tricky hill climbs, the 001 utilises norda's midsole collaboration with Vibram, the SLE compound for soft, cushioned wearing. SLE is Vibram's lightest, most 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 and provides 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 in to your next stride.

norda x Vibram Outsole

An exclusive norda x Vibram design features on the 001 outsole, a Formation sole that uses a combination of Litebase and Megagrip rubber technology. To preserve energy, yet keep you stable and secure with a range of trail running surfaces, the Litebase compound reduces the overall weight of the shoes to 30% by keeping the thickness lower, yet still ensuring the grip, traction and durability remain excellent. 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 slippy conditions, as well as on dry journeys through trails and has outstanding durability so you can rely on these shoes for the long run. Finally, adorning the outsole are strategically placed 5mm lugs that dig deep into the ground below.
