The 001 is Norda's opening argument: that Dyneema - the polyethylene composite strong enough for yacht sails and bullet-resistant panels - could be the right upper fabric for a trail shoe. Cut from a pattern tested on the rocky climbs behind Mont-Tremblant and the single-track of the Laurentians, the 001 and its refined 001A successor weigh less than most road shoes but shred technical downhills like proper mountain tools. The 005 pushes the same story further with a 100% Arnitel super-foam midsole and a Norda-exclusive Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole; the 002 lowers the stack for runners who want ground feel over the long haul. The 005 is Norda's flagship race trail shoe - a Norda-exclusive Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole, 100% Arnitel TPEE super-foam midsole, no carbon plate required.

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.
