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 new Megagrip Elite is a norda exclusive, and with tech from Formula One racing tires, it should, no doubt, be fast, and there are whispers of it being Vibram's tackiest outsole available. What a combo! A new 100% Arnitel midsole provides the feedback of some super shoes, without adding carbon. Finishing this racing beauty without an abrasion-resistant upper was not an option, so the Biodyneema stays because most folks don't appreciate new venting popping up in the middle of their effort. The 005 is a thoughtful and well-executed foray into not only making unicorns but also filling a needed niche in the ultra-racing world.

SkyRun Fit Tip - We recommend sizing up one-half US size in the 005.

• Abrasion-resistant upper has better breathability.
• Megagrip Elite: Formula One tech in the 005's outsole.
• 100% Arnitel foam can bring out the "I feel like a gazelle" in you.
• Recycled materials are used wherever possible.
• Details matter, and these have enough that you'll continue to notice them.
