The Norda 001 M22 is an eye-catching, high-performance trail sneaker made from bio-based [Dyneema](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordas-toolbox) and recycled [Cordura](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarvas-forest-bather-cordura). For those unfamiliar, Dyneema is one of the world's strongest fibers with a tensile strength 15 times greater than high-quality steel, while Cordura is a synthetic fabric with outstanding tear-resistant properties. As a result, the Norda 001 M22 is a highly robust running shoe that is, at one time, lightweight, durable, and sustainably made. In addition, the new hiking shoe features an exclusive Vibram Formation sole with [Litebase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norda-001a), Vibram SLE midsole cushioning, Megagrip rubber, and a custom-designed TPU insole, all of which combine to improve the shoe's overall performance and comfortability.
