The lightest,fastest, most stable trail shoe ever made. Engineered for race day(s). The 005 features new technologies aimed to redefine what trail running super shoe performance should feel like. Rather than simply take technological conventions from road running and apply them to trail, we have developed a highly responsive and stable shoe with super critical foam that caters to the specific demands of race day performance on trail. Speed — Offering maximum energy return with every step without compromising stability. An Arnitel® midsole propels the 005 into a realm of trail super shoe performance entirely of its own kind. Breathability — An open mesh Bio-Dyneema® upper weave pattern allows for maximum breathability and rapid water drainage. A smooth microsuede tongue that molds to the foot and is detailed with perforation to reduce heat. Lightness — At 214g, the 005 is the lightest super shoe ever crafted for trail running. Through obsessive iterating of the shoe, we were able to shave weight in every possible area without sacrificing performance or durability. Durability — While most super shoes are engineered for race day, the 005 is engineered for race days — plural. The combined use of the world’s most advanced materials and compounds allows for sustained super shoe performance over an unparalleled amount of mileage through all terrain and conditions. Sizing — We [norda] recommend to go up 1/2 size (US) from your normal size. Engineered for multiple race days. Upper: An open mesh Bio-Dyneema® and recycled upper is impossibly strong and featherlight. The weave pattern allows for maximum breathability and rapid water drainage. The norda™ fit lock system: The 005 has a proprietary fit lock system detailed for race day. The heel collar is designed with pods for increased foot lockdown, comfort and reducing debris entry. The tongue is a smooth, perforated microsuede that molds to the foot and allows for heat to escape during high intensity running. This fit lock system is finished off with a new interior foot binding technology which is engaged via the laces and ensures unwavering stability. New Arnitel® mid-sole: The 005 features an entirely pure Arnitel® (TPEE) midsole unlike any shoe ever has before. This allows for the 005 to be incredibly lightweight and responsive while remaining highly durable. While most supershoes are engineered for race day, the 005 is engineered for race days— plural. New Vibram Megagrip® Elite Soleplate: A brand new norda full length one piece soleplate design featuring the world’s first release of Vibram® Mega Grip Elite rubber. This is a race day compound, which is the grippiest and lightest formulation ever created by Vibram®. The increased traction of the Mega Grip Elite allows for varying lug heights, which accommodate seamless transitions between technical trails and fire roads. Insoles: Two insoles. A molded Arnitel® TPEE insole comes ready inside the 005 for training mileage. An additional die-cut insole is included for race days when you’re looking to shave even more weight. Tongue: Micro-suede tongue that molds the foot and is detailed with perforation to reduce heat. Collar: Bigger pods at the collar area for a more tight collar fit and to reduce debris from coming in. Laces: The laces are 4mm instead of 5mm to reduce weight. The laces are made with Dyneema®, providing higher abrasion resistance, more stretch and is 4x as strong as a standard lace. Hi-Vis: Reflective piping around the upper adds hi-vis to the shoe, increasing visibility whenever necessary.
