norda 001A Shoe - Women
A for Awesome? A for Aardvark? A for Another paradigm-shifting shoe from norda that challenges our understanding of the limits of trail running shoes in terms of durability and performance? That's right, norda continues to raise the bar with the 001A shoe. In this case, the A is for Arnitel - the one-of-a-kind midsole material that elevated the 005 to its podium of high-performance. Arnitel is a TPEE polymer that, when used as a midsole, offers super-shoe propulsion and ultra-marathon cushion. The rest of the shoe will feel very familiar to those who know the Norda 001. The upper is made from a highly durable Dyneema weave engineered to promote breathability. Dyneema - a sailing fabric well known for its strength-to-weight ratio that exceeds steel - also graces the laces and memory foam insole, protecting all of the shoe's soft parts against wear. The full coverage Vibram Megagrip + Litebase outsole will keep you upright and confident with your footing. For a burly all-arounder shoe that delivers high-end, race shoe performance, the norda 001A has little competition.
