The norda 008 recovery slides have been developed by the trail running footwear brand as a post-run shoe style created with comfort and recovery in mind. The slides are constructed with a dual-density foam protected by a VIbram Ecostep EVO outsole to make them suited for wear around the house, but also post-race or even around a campsite for trail runners. The slides come in four color options including Sage, Oud, Hindi and Névé, which are each paired with a custom assemblage that's inspired by the Canadian Shield as a subtle nod to the brand's heritage.
The norda 008 recovery slides will be available for purchase from the brand's website starting June 12, 2025 for $145.
