norda 005 Shoe

The lightweight distance race shoe that will thrive through the rigors of training and racing multiple ultras is a unicorn. Or, at least, it was. The 005 from norda continues with their dedication to producing a product that is innovative, long-lasting, and industry-leading. Let's begin where the rubber meets the trail: the rubber. The Megagrip Elite + Litebase uses tech from Formula One racing tires; it should be fast, and there are whispers it's Vibram's tackiest outsole yet. What a combo! A new 100% Arnitel midsole provides feedback akin to a super shoe without adding carbon. Finishing this racing beauty without an abrasion-resistant upper wasn't an option, so they used a wear-resistant Biodyneema fabric with a better breathing weave, because nobody wants surprise venting popping up in the middle of their effort. The 005 is a thoughtful and well-executed foray into making unicorns and filling a needed niche in the ultra-racing world.

SkyRun Fit Tip: For a proper fit in the 005, we recommend sizing up one-half US size from your measured size.
