The 005 is norda's race-day trail shoe — built to be the lightest, fastest, and most stable option in their lineup. A 100% Arnitel TPEE midsole (no plate) delivers a rare combination of softness and snap, while a bio-based Dyneema upper keeps weight down without sacrificing durability. An exclusive Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole with a distinctive lug pattern grips confidently across technical terrain, and the moderate stack keeps you stable on descents rather than tippy. Best for competitive trail and ultra runners who want a genuine race shoe — light, precise, and durable enough to handle multiple race days.
