Norda: The Ultimate Trailrunners for Your May Holiday Adventures

At Behind The Pines, we’re all about style, sustainability, and chasing adventure – and Norda nails it. This Canadian brand has flipped the trailrunning game with cutting-edge designs and top-tier materials. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on four standouts: the Norda 001 Cinder, Norda 001 Stealth Black, Norda 002 Cinder, and Norda 002 Sage. With the Dutch May holidays (April 26 to May 4) around the corner, these are THE shoes to level up your spring escapes. Let’s dive in!

Norda 001 Cinder: Speed Meets Sustainability

The Norda 001 Cinder is the OG of the Norda lineup and a fan fave here at Behind The Pines. Built for speed, long hauls, and any terrain you throw at it, this trailrunner’s got it all. What’s the magic? A bio-based Dyneema® upper – the world’s lightest and toughest material – keeps it featherlight and crazy durable. Pair that with the Vibram® Formation sole (hello, Litebase® and Megagrip® rubber!) and you’ve got grip that won’t quit, whether it’s muddy paths or rocky trails. Perfect for a day in the Veluwe or a last-minute hike in the Ardennes. That Cinder color? Subtle grey with a rugged edge – right up your alley.

Norda 001 Stealth Black: Sleek, Tough, Unstoppable

For those who vibe with a dark, clean aesthetic, meet the Norda 001 Stealth Black. It’s the same beast as the Cinder, but wrapped in the world’s first bio-based black Dyneema®. The result? A shoe that looks stealthy as hell and performs like a champ. The norda™ Lock System keeps your foot locked in, while the eTPU insole pumps out max energy return – ideal for those endless spring days. Whether you’re hitting the dunes at Noordwijk or an urban trail in Amsterdam, the Stealth Black’s got your back.

Norda 002 Cinder: Precision on Technical Terrain

Craving more control? The Norda 002 Cinder steps up. It builds on the 001 but drops the stack height for better ground feel – a must on tricky trails. The pyramidal midsole and padded heel collar give you confidence on rough paths, while the Dyneema® upper stays light and tough. The Cinder hue keeps it low-key yet stylish, blending function and form. Picture this: a run through the Hoge Veluwe or a climb in South Limburg – the 002 Cinder’s your ride-or-die.

Norda 002 Sage: Nature in Every Step

Last up, the Norda 002 Sage. This stunner screams spring with its fresh sage-green shade – a nod to the outdoors it’s made for. Like the 002 Cinder, it delivers responsive performance on tough terrain, with a Vibram® sole that grips everywhere. The lower stack and lightweight build make it perfect for quick, nimble moves, whether you’re sprinting through woods or scaling a hill. Ideal for a May holiday jaunt to the Wadden Islands or a stroll along the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. With the Sage, you’re not just stylish – you’re one with nature.

Why Norda at Behind The Pines?

Norda’s more than a shoe – it’s a vibe. Crafted by trailrunners who won’t settle, these kicks fuse next-level tech with a sustainable soul. We’re stoked to carry them at Behind The Pines because they match our ethos: adventure, quality, and a little defiance against the norm. With the May holidays coming up, now’s the time to gear up. 001 or 002, your call – either way, you’re set to explore, run, and soak it all in.
