When it comes to performance footwear, few brands are pushing boundaries like norda™. Founded in Canada, norda was created with one clear goal: to build the world’s best trail running shoes - no compromises, no shortcuts, just uncompromising performance in the harshest conditions.
Born in the rugged terrain of Quebec, the brand is led by a team of lifelong runners who were fed up with trail shoes that either fell apart, felt uncomfortable, or couldn’t match the environment they were built for. In response, norda™ has developed a footwear system that fuses cutting-edge technology with practical design and extreme durability.
The Dyneema® Difference
What sets norda™ apart is its innovative use of Dyneema®, known as the world’s strongest fibre. Pound for pound, it's 15x stronger than steel - yet lighter than most fabrics. By integrating Dyneema® into the shoe’s upper, norda™ delivers a perfect blend of ultra-lightweight flexibility and near-bulletproof toughness. It’s water-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and built to last thousands of miles, no matter the terrain.
Groundbreaking Performance Tech
Beneath the surface, norda™ packs its shoes with high-performance innovation. The brand uses Vibram® outsoles for unbeatable grip on rock, mud, or slick surfaces - paired with a custom midsole made with Vibram® SLE foam to ensure responsive cushioning without weighing you down. The shoes are engineered with a seamless construction that reduces hotspots, making them comfortable right out of the box.
Built for Distance, Designed for the Elements
From brutal mountain trails to city streets, norda™ shoes are made to take a beating and keep going. Their minimal yet striking design aesthetic gives them crossover appeal - so whether you're a seasoned runner, a weekend hiker, or just someone who appreciates performance gear with style, norda™ delivers on all fronts.
The latest norda™ arrivals at Yards Store include core styles in fresh seasonal colourways - all featuring Dyneema® uppers, Vibram® tooling, and precise detailing from toe to heel.
