Okay, we're here at Norda with Ray and
0:04
Nick and they're going to talk to us
0:06
about the 055, their very latest and
0:10
Ray's been instrumental in developing
0:12
and testing and Nick is the guy behind
0:16
you. So, go for it guys.
0:18
Hey guys, uh welcome to TR. I'm Nick
0:21
Marteri. I'm the co-founder of Norda.
0:23
This is our 055. It's our all- mountain
0:27
super technical you know the next Norda
0:30
super shoe. Um standing to my left Ray I
0:34
have incredible friend advisor explorer
0:38
the man who's been you know significant
0:40
part of making this shoe. I'll let him
0:42
tell you directly from his words a
0:44
little bit about it. Well first of all
0:46
I'm wearing them right now so you can
0:48
pan down here and you can see the fit of
0:50
the sock upper. I mean it's a beauty.
0:53
you know, it fits beautifully. And as
0:55
Nick had mentioned, this one piece um
0:57
upper is so comfortable. You can see the
1:00
waffling enables it's very breathable.
1:03
Uh enables it to be very flexible as
1:06
well. The shoe, I mean, this thing rolls
1:09
like you can't believe it. You roll down
1:12
the trail on this thing and you just
1:14
feel so secure. Uh but as well with that
1:17
stability comes that amazing foam, the
1:19
Artel.
1:21
Nick spent so much time developing
1:24
several iterations of the shoes so that
1:26
we could test and develop and find
1:28
exactly what was the right amount of
1:30
firmness, the right amount of fit and
1:32
the security and of the upper, etc. so
1:35
that we could really dial this shoe to
1:37
make it something super special. So, I'm
1:39
in love with it and I can't wait for
1:41
everyone else to try it.
1:42
Cool.
1:42
Make a few details including the stack
1:45
height and I notice we've got a real
1:47
heel gap. Uh but tell us absolutely tell
1:50
us a bit more.
1:52
So look, today is just the unveiling.
1:54
It's a little bit of the sneak peek. Um
1:56
it's going to be released in uh mid
1:58
2026, let's say late spring 2026. Um as
2:02
Ry said, a full knit custom knit collar.
2:06
Um it features our dynamic lace lock
2:09
that is usually found on all of our
2:11
Nordas. Um we have sawtooth lacing so
2:14
that everything stays dialed in. We've
2:17
added a little bit more uh padding in
2:19
the back. We have a very structured rear
2:23
counter in this shoe just so you stay
2:25
very stable on the descents. Um the shoe
2:29
features our proprietary 100% biiobased
2:32
daea upper. It's extremely breathable,
2:34
extremely lightweight and very
2:36
protective. And then our 100%
2:40
notice a lot of hundreds. We only like
2:41
them the finest. Okay. It's just the way
2:44
we roll. 100% Arnutel TPE midsole. It is
2:48
the finest. Gives about a 78% rebound.
2:51
It's extremely durable. Um and then
2:54
we're very proud Vibram has once again
2:57
allowed us to have Mega Grip Elite,
2:59
their finest technology.
3:02
Exactly, Sam. Um it's similar to our
3:04
001, but we lightened it a little bit.
3:07
We took out some of the intermediary
3:08
lines, but we still keep the amazing 5mm
3:11
lugs. And we put a wrap all the way up
3:14
the back just for some high durability,
3:17
you know, when you're in those mountain
3:19
conditions as well.
3:20
And the stack height, uh, compared to
3:23
it's a little bit higher, uh, a little
3:25
bit more foam, a lot more power. Uh,
3:27
five pretty powerful, but we added 5 mm.
3:30
So, it's 31 38 7 mm drop for this shoe.
3:35
Uh, I can't give away the exact weight,
3:37
but we're expecting it to be around 8 o,
3:39
probably plus or minus 250 gram. It's
3:42
going to, even with this stack, it's
3:43
going to be a crazy light shoe.
3:45
Thank you very much, guys. Wow.
3:49
Beautiful things. Beautiful things.
