Recover in Style: Meet the norda 008

When norda™ drops something new, it’s never just footwear — it’s a full-throttle concept in motion. Their latest, the norda 008, is a slide born from trail DNA but fine-tuned for Southeast Asian realities. Whether you're coming off a summit in Bukit Timah or cruising through Orchard, this is recovery gear that works just as hard as you do.

Unlike the Dyneema®-reinforced trail legends before it (the 001, 002, 003, and 005), the 008 eschews the world's strongest fiber in favor of dual-density foam that strikes the rare balance between soft and stable. Your legs may be shot after hill reps in MacRitchie, but your recovery slide shouldn’t feel like jellyfish.

 

What lies beneath your feet? 

A topographic footbed inspired by the Canadian Shield — delivering subtle, massage-like pressure while discreetly managing sweat (a Southeast Asia must-have). It's a slick nod to nature with real performance benefits.

norda didn’t just throw this on an existing sole either. They partnered with Vibram to build a bespoke Ecostep EVO outsole from recycled rubber, offering serious grip — whether you're navigating airport lounges or dodging spilled kopi at the hawker.

Call it a luxury recovery slide. Call it technical streetwear. Just don’t call it basic.

The norda 008 is now available at The Pace.
