Norda released its FW26 footwear collection on August 13, 2026, introducing 12 new colorways across the 001A, 002, 005, 008, 055 and the all-new 055 G+. The collection features marbled midsoles, iridescent and reflective accents and stripped-back linework; colorways include Star Anise brown tones on the 055 G+ and 001A, mauve-and-grey Thistle and Scoria variants, mineral-inspired Almond, Serpentine, Travertine and Sea Salt options, plus two 005 interpretations: Zephyr (shimmering silver base and metallic accents) and Stealth Black (tonal gradients and pre-faded treatments). The range is available now at nordarun.com and through authorized norda stockists.

Pricing is $295 USD for the 001A and 002, $325 for the 005 and 055, $355 for the 055 G+, and $145 for the 008. Product details: the 001A is an optimally cushioned ultra-distance shoe with a seamless bio-circular Dyneema upper, a custom midsole using an Arnitel TPEE blend, and a bespoke Vibram soleplate; the 002 is a low-to-the-ground, highly responsive model with a bio-circular Dyneema upper, padded heel collar, Vibram SLE midsole and bespoke Vibram soleplate. Norda describes the 005 as its lightest, fastest, most stable super shoe for trail runners; it features a 100% Arnitel TPEE midsole, Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole, open-mesh bio-circular Dyneema upper, and a men's size 8.5 pair weighs 214 grams. The 008 is a recovery slide with dual-density foam and a custom Vibram ECOSTEP soleplate. The 055 and 055 G+ are all-terrain speed-and-stability shoes with a 100% Arnitel TPEE midsole, integrated knit collar, bio-circular Dyneema upper and a norda x Vibram soleplate with Megagrip Elite and Litebase technologies; the 055 G+ adds a thermoregulating, hydrophobic graphene membrane for warmth and water resistance.
