Ultralight and durable trail runners engineered for race day
The experts at norda set out to make the lightest, fastest, most stable shoe ever crafted for trail runners—and the evidence is in the engineering. It starts with the open-mesh upper, made from feather-light, steel-strong Bio-Dyneema® that delivers elite breathability. The midsole and insole are designed to shave as much weight as possible, while staying highly durable and responsive. Get down to the soleplate, and you’ll find the world’s first release of Vibram® Megagrip Elite rubber—the grippiest and lightest formulation they’ve ever created. Whether you’re competing against yourself or the field, this sneaker is a hell of a force to be reckoned with.
