Satisfy worked in collaboration with norda back in July and the duo had released an iteration of the 001 Trail Runner sneaker model. This time, the duo joins once again and releases the same silhouette in a shimmering silver update that is packed with the same advanced technology.
The shoes are designed with a seamless material throughout the upper made from bio-based Dyneema, which is five times as strong as Kevlar and half of the weight. The midsole base is made from Vibram's SLE foam compound and it all rests on top of the outsole that is packed with a Vibram Megatrip traction patterning that references back to norda's Canadian heritage. The outsoles themselves are detailed in a gym finish for an earthy counterweight.
