Canadian trail gear brand norda has carved a reputation for building some of the world’s most advanced running shoes, but with the new norda 008 Recovery Shoe, the brand is shifting gears—without slowing down. Designed for the crucial in-between moments, the 008 is norda’s first-ever sandal, built not as an afterthought, but as a purpose-driven tool for recovery.

Slated to drop June 12 at nordarun.com for $145, the 008 features plush dual-density foam for that sink-in comfort your feet crave post-run, balanced with a rugged Vibram Ecostep EVO outsole for traction you’ll appreciate whether you’re grabbing a coffee or heading to the gym. And because this is norda, design isn’t an afterthought—the footbed pattern nods to the Canadian Shield, and the entire aesthetic follows the brand’s signature minimalist edge.

Offered in four earthy tones—Sage, Oud, Hinoki, and Névé—the 008 fits into your daily lineup without shouting for attention. It’s laid-back, but engineered. Effortless, but meaningful. Even the name has depth, pulled from the Fibonacci sequence, continuing norda’s fascination with natural balance and intentional design.

Built for everyday movement, cooldowns, and transitions, the norda 008 is more than just a slide—it’s a symbol of performance reimagined. For the athlete who trains hard and recovers harder, it’s the footwear equivalent of a deep breath.
