｜Brand Introduction｜
From Canada, norda™ was founded by endurance athletes Nick and Willamina Martire, who believed there wasn’t a single shoe on the market that could truly meet their needs. Determined to create a durable shoe themselves, they set out to design it from scratch. The brand’s philosophy is to seamlessly combine high performance with sustainability. To craft a shoe genuinely built for trail running, they broke away from traditional shoemaking methods and chose the world’s most innovative materials.
norda™ 001 is the world’s first trail running shoe with an upper made from Dyneema® bio-based fiber, combining ultra-lightweight performance, exceptional durability, and sustainability. The outsole is developed in collaboration with world-renowned Vibram®, featuring Litebase® and MegaGrip® technology for superior traction, reduced weight, and maximum abrasion resistance.
For norda™, performance and sustainability are inseparable.
Because a shoe that is truly durable and long-lasting is the most sustainable choice.
With norda™, you will experience the undeniable king of trail running shoes.
｜Product Description｜
001A – All-New Norma Midsole: Engineered with Arnitel® Technology.
Starting from Fall 2025, norda’s next-generation proprietary midsole introduces a new superfoam compound, built on the same groundbreaking technology featured in our norda™ 005 race-day shoe.
Arnitel® TPEE® outperforms and outlasts other midsole foam materials, while norda’s exclusive compound pushes performance to the highest industry standards.
Arnitel® sets a new benchmark for sustainable products with its exceptional resiliency, strength, and mechanical property retention. Its versatile processing capabilities allow compatibility with both physical and traditional foaming techniques, enabling the creation of advanced low-carbon midsoles that help athletes perform better and longer.
-
Rebound Benchmark: At equal foam density, Arnitel® delivers superior rebound compared to other midsole foams.
-
Beyond Durability: While most high-performance midsoles maintain peak performance only briefly, Arnitel® lasts far longer.
-
Stable Performance: Arnitel® FM grade is engineered to retain stable mechanical properties across varying temperatures, ensuring consistent performance in any climate or trail conditions.
-
Sustainability: Arnitel® midsoles are recyclable and available in low-carbon footprint, renewable, and bio-based versions.
