norda's 008 Slide is For Whenever You're *Not* Running

nordais an undisputed master in the world of trail running footwear. The technical and material expertise displayed on the go-anywhere001, the low-to-the-ground002, the scramble-ready003and the ultra-advanced005have captured the hearts and minds of UTMB event winners, weekend warriors and techwear lovers alike.
However, even the most hardcore runners need to take a load off occasionally, so norda has created its first sandal: the008, a style made for whenever you're not running. Arriving in four colorways — 'Sage,' 'Oud,' 'Hinoki,' & 'Névé' — the 008 is constructed of plush dual-density foam that's protected and bolstered by a customVibramEcostep EVO outsole. All four colors feature a tonal aesthetic and minimal branding, with a simple embossed norda logo on the lateral forefoot. Sharp-eyed fans of the brand may also notice that the footbed's pattern is similar to the one on norda's outsoles, namely a custom assemblage inspired by the Canadian Shield, the largest and strongest pre-Cambrian rock formation on earth.
If you're curious why the 008 is following the 005 and there's no 006 or 007, norda's product names are inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers where each is the sum of the two preceding ones. This sequence is related to the 'Golden Ratio,' a mathematical concept that can be seen in various natural phenomenon.
You'll be able to grab the norda 008 via thebrand's webstorecome June 12. It'll be priced at $145 USD.
