The norda™ 005 is the lightest, fastest, and most stable super shoe ever designed for trail runners. Built specifically for race day, it introduces a new standard in trail performance by moving beyond road-running conventions. Instead, it delivers a highly responsive and exceptionally stable ride with supercritical foam engineered to meet the unique demands of racing off-road. Every detail of the 005 is crafted to give runners the ultimate advantage when speed and precision matter most.
