Built for the moments when every second matters, the norda 005 is a next-generation trail racing shoe engineered to blur the line between speed and stability. Designed for race-day intensity across technical terrain, it rejects borrowed road concepts and instead redefines what a true trail super shoe should feel like—responsive, locked-in, and relentlessly efficient from start to finish.

At its core, performance is driven by an advanced Arnitel® (TPEE) midsole, delivering an exceptionally lightweight yet highly energetic ride. This proprietary foam system creates a rare balance of rebound and durability, helping you maintain speed through climbs, transitions, and fast descents without losing stability. Paired with a 7 mm drop and race-tuned geometry, the 005 encourages a forward, efficient stride built for sustained effort at high pace.

The upper is where precision fit meets uncompromising toughness. An open-weave Bio-Dyneema® construction offers extreme strength at minimal weight, while maximizing airflow and rapid drainage in variable conditions. Inside, the 005 Fit-Lock System integrates with the lacing structure to create a secure, adaptive hold that keeps the foot stable on technical terrain. Combined with Vibram® Megagrip Elite rubber underfoot, the result is a shoe that grips aggressively, moves lightly, and stays composed when the terrain doesn’t.
