Norda was founded in Montreal in 2020 by husband-and-wife shoemakers Nick and Willa Martire, joined at launch by Louis-Martin Tremblay on design and Gerard Cleal on brand. The 001 shipped in January 2021 at 285 USD — the most expensive trail shoe on the market that year — and made the case that Dyneema, the polyethylene composite best known for yacht sails and bullet-resistant panels, could be the right upper material for a trail shoe. Five years in, Norda is the Canadian brand the global ultra community wears at UTMB, Western States and the Boréalys Mont-Tremblant by UTMB. Quiet confidence over loud claims.
After the long run, the 008. A dual-density foam recovery slide with a denser arch-supportive footbed, a softer foam strap, a topographic sole that doubles as a light foot massage, and a bespoke Vibram ECOSTEP EVO plate of recycled rubber - the only recovery slide in the category shipping with Vibram on the bottom. The 008 is Norda's recovery slide - dual-density foam with a denser arch-supportive footbed, a softer foam strap, a topographic sole that doubles as a light foot massage, and a bespoke Vibram ECOSTEP EVO plate of recycled rubber.
