Norda 001A – The Redefinition of a Trail Icon

The Norda 001A is more than an upgrade — it’s a re-engineering of the brand’s flagship trail runner, tuned for greater speed, energy, and endurance. As co-founder Nick Martire explains, “It’s a redefinition of what a trail shoe can deliver, from the first kilometer to the thousandth.”

What’s New

• Arnitel™ TPEE Midsole – A bespoke, bio-based high-performance foam compound that delivers a 30% resiliency boost while cutting weight by up to 10% compared to the 001.

• Extended Lifespan – Tuned to maintain performance for 1,000 km+ — far beyond the lifespan of standard foams (which fade after ~300 km).

• Race-day-ready energy – Trail Team Manager Jason Schlarb calls it “race day-ready pop and rebound while retaining the durability we loved from the original model.” Tested rigorously for 18 months in both training and competition.
• Future-proof material – Already used in Norda’s race-oriented 005, Arnitel has proven itself as a next-gen alternative to traditional foams — light, durable, and resilient.

Core Features

• Upper: World’s first seamless bio-circular Dyneema® — 15x stronger than steel, ultra-light, and abrasion-resistant.

• Outsole: Vibram® Litebase + Megagrip with exclusive 5mm lug pattern for aggressive traction.

• Geometry: 26mm stack height / 5mm drop for a balanced, natural stride that performs as a daily trainer or race-day weapon.

• Fit & Feel: Bio-circular Dyneema® lacing for locked-in security and a streamlined, versatile ride.
