Midsole & Cushioning: The Heartbeat of the Trail
Beneath the surface lies the soul of the Norda 001: the exclusive Norda x Vibram® SLE midsole. This proprietary Super Light EVA-based compound delivers an optimal blend of lightweight responsiveness and durability, providing maximum energy return with each stride. Complemented by custom-designed eTPU insoles, the shoe offers superior support and cushioning, ensuring comfort during long-distance runs.
Outsole & Traction: Grip That Inspires Confidence
The Norda x Vibram® Formation outsole features Megagrip rubber with Litebase technology, offering exceptional traction across various terrains, from loose gravel to wet rocks.
