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.
