Norda, the brainchild of endurance runners Willamina and Nick Martire, was created to provide high-performance, durable footwear that could handle extreme trail conditions. What sets Norda apart is its innovative use of Dyneema®, an ultra-light but as strong as steel fabric. Initially developed in 1963, Dyneema® has since been utilized in everything from NYPD bulletproof vests to high-performance outdoor gear.
Now available at Nepenthes Los Angeles, the latest Norda releases feature both men’s and women’s sizes in four styles:
- 003 Pitch Black
- 001 Stealth Black
- 001 White
- 003 Cinder
Each model is built with a seamless Bio-Dyneema® upper, providing durability and breathability. Paired with Vibram® technology in the midsole and outsole, the shoes offer a responsive, cushioned ride while delivering exceptional grip on rugged terrains, thanks to the exclusive Vibram® Litebase® and Megagrip® technologies.
The result is a trail shoe that merges performance and sustainability, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in footwear design.
With abrasion resistance that surpasses Kevlar and a design focused on long-lasting performance, Norda stands out as the ultimate choice for those who take their trail running seriously.
*Customers should note that sizing runs small and should go up half a size for the best fit.
