Canadian outdoor engineering at its finest

Norda has unleashed its Toolbox duffle bag in 'Stealth Black'. Known for cutting-edge trail-running shoes, this latest move sees the Canadian brand extending its expertise to gear for adventurers. The Norda Toolbox, forged from Bio-Dyneema, is as tough as it gets. The material is 15 times stronger than steel and lighter than you’d believe. This bag is built to thrive, whether you’re deep in the wilderness or navigating urban commutes.

With a cavernous 70-litre capacity, the duffle holds everything you need and more. Modular straps let it double as a backpack, perfect for hands-free travel, while cinch straps on the sides shrink its profile when you’re packing light. Inside, ultralight fabric and mesh encourage airflow, ideal for drying damp running shoes or gear. An included Bio-Dyneema dry sack takes care of smaller items, proving Norda hasn’t missed a detail.

Inside, the organisation game is strong. Mesh compartments divide clean and dirty gear, so you can skip the chaos of rummaging. Elasticised pockets and zippered sections keep essentials secure, no matter the terrain. A padded top opens to reveal additional mesh storage – perfect for keys, travel documents, or the odd snack. It’s the kind of thoughtful design that makes you wonder why all bags aren’t this good.

The Toolbox duffle does more than store belongings – it speaks to Norda’s ethos. It’s rugged yet refined, with a focus on performance and practicality. But while the bag is a masterstroke of engineering, Norda’s real legacy lies in its trail-running shoes.

Norda: Shaping the Future of Trail Running

Founded in 2020, Norda has redefined what trail shoes can be. The Canadian brand set out to design footwear that could take on the harshest terrain and come out stronger. The result? A lineup that’s not just durable but almost indestructible. These shoes thrive where others fail.

At the core of Norda’s innovation is Bio-Dyneema. The material, as light as it is strong, sets a new benchmark for performance. Vibram soles provide unbeatable grip, letting you tackle slippery rocks, muddy inclines, and frozen ground with confidence. These aren’t just shoes – they’re tools for the relentless.

Sustainability is woven into Norda’s DNA. The brand embraces eco-friendly materials and processes, ensuring a low impact without compromising quality. It’s a philosophy that speaks to a new generation of runners – those who care as much about the planet as their gear.

Norda’s lineup includes the 001, 002, 003, and soon-to-launch 005. Each shoe is meticulously crafted, combining advanced technology with minimalist design. They’re lightweight, versatile, and made for those who never take the easy route.

This isn’t just a brand, it’s a movement. From the Toolbox bag to its pioneering trail shoes, Norda is carving out its place in the outdoor world. Its gear isn’t just tough. It’s redefining what performance and innovation can look like in the wild.
