Size: One size
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.
The Toolbox is the world's first duffel cut entirely from Bio-Dyneema - 70 L of ultralight, tear-resistant fibre, with removable padded backpack straps, a Stealth Black Bio-Dyneema dry bag tucked inside, and enough mesh compartments to separate clean kit from muddy shoes. The SoftFlask WMX 500 ml is HydraPak-built to slot into low, wide vest pockets. Both Performance and Retro socks are made to the same quietly over-specified standard as everything else with the Norda wordmark on it. The Retro Sock is Norda's crew recovery sock - softer hand, muted palette, built to live in the kit bag alongside the 008.
