norda, the Canadian trail stalwarts, have taken the outdoor space by storm since launching in 2020. Their mission has s to create industry-leading outdoor-geared sneaks. Back in 2023, co-founder and CEO Nick Martire told us ‘If we’re going to build this, we’re going to build the finest’, referencing norda’s venture to create what we billed as ‘the Lamborghini of trail runners’. Their next innovative sneaker release comes through in the form of the norda 005, which
‘Norda’s constant strive to create the most dynamic and responsive running shoes has led to it being the first brand to ever bring three incredible component brands together; Vibram, Dyneema, and now Arnitel, creating the lightest, fastest, most stable trail shoe ever made,’ said Martire in a press release.
norda’s 005 model has been a long awaited by trail fanatics across the globe, and has been teased on a number of occasions leading up to the official debut. Providing a smooth ride, the brand’s latest silhouette has been engineered with an innovative soleplate, made from Vibram Megagrip rubber and midsole, crafted wth Arnitel. The top half of the 005 is made using an exclusive weave of bio-based Dyneema and recycled nylon.
The highly anticipated norda 005 will be available in 2025 through the brand’s online channels, but will make an earlier debut at Sanglard Sports, Chamonix on August 27.
