Borderlands Trail (+ Ultra) Running

Impressions of Norda: Obsessed with Excellence and Hospitality


Listen Later

Norda punches like a $50M company with the values of a local small business.

Norda Run is redefining the running super shoe with its upcoming 005 trail running 'Race Days' shoe. But they've already built a wildly committed fan base with their 001, 002, + 003.

Norda is as cool of a company as it is high quality. Yes, their shoes are functionally in the top of the class, but they carry a cool factor that few running shoe companies can match.

I spent a day with them at Paris Fashion Week 2025 and not only observed a company growing exponentially but one that also carries a hospitality and warmth like few brands I've seen.

These are my impressions of Norda.
