About the 000
Made with Black Diamond and tested by mountain athlete Joe Grant, the 000 is a rugged, cushioned shoe for high-mountain running on rocky, technical alpine terrain and over long distances. Unlike the Arnitel TPEE midsoles of the 001A and 055, it uses Vibram Stream Flow, which the brands describe as an all-new foam compound, with a custom eTPU insole on top.
The outsole is an exclusive norda x Vibram sole combining Litebase and Megagrip rubber with 5 mm lugs. The seamless woven upper is bio-circular Dyneema, with a hi-vis reflective hit from front to rear, while the norda Lock System uses gusset construction for a sock-like fit and diamond-pattern laces in bio-based Dyneema and recycled polyester. It shares the 001A's 26 mm heel stack and 5 mm drop. The 000 joins Norda's range of trail running shoes as its most alpine-focused model.
