- Necklace
Larger collar pads for a tighter fit and to reduce debris entry.
- Language
The tongue material is a smooth microsuede that conforms to the shape of the foot and has perforations to reduce heat.
- Upper stem
The upper made of open mesh Bio-Dyneema® and recycled materials is incredibly durable and lightweight. The weave pattern allows for maximum breathability and rapid water evacuation.
- Midsole
The 005 features a completely pure Arnitel® (TPEE) midsole unlike any other shoe ever has. This allows the 005 to be incredibly light and responsive while remaining very durable. While most supershoes are designed for race days, the 005 is designed for race days – plural.
- Sole
An all-new, full-length, one-piece Norda sole featuring the world’s first version of Vibram® Mega Grip Elite rubber. This is a race-day compound that is the grippiest and lightest formulation Vibram® has ever created. The increased traction of Mega Grip Elite allows for varying lug heights, making it easier to transition between technical trails and dirt roads.
- Laces
The laces are 4mm instead of 5mm to reduce weight. The laces are made of Dyneema®, which gives them greater abrasion resistance, greater elasticity and 4 times the strength of a standard lace.
- The norda™ locking system
The 005 features a proprietary fit lock system detailed for race day. The heel collar is designed with lugs to increase foot lockdown, comfort and reduce debris entry. The tongue is a smooth, perforated microsuede that molds to the foot and allows heat to escape during high-intensity runs. This lock system is complemented by a new internal foot fixation technology that engages via the laces and ensures an unwavering hold.
