Norda in 'world first' with G+ and Dyneema
Montreal-based trail running brand Norda recently launched the 001 G+ Spike, a style of performance footwear which it described as “the world’s first seamless trail running shoe made with Dyneema and G+ [Graphene Plus] graphene, the world’s lightest and strongest materials”.

After almost two years in development, it is the first shoe to integrate Directa Plus’ G+ membrane into its lining.

The design also has an exclusive, co-designed Norda x Vibram Megagrip outsole, which features 20 added carbide tipped steel spikes in the soleplate.

Founder and chief executive of Directa Plus, Giulio Cesareo, commented: “The inclusion of our G+ membrane in a high-performance running shoe takes us into an important new market. The Norda 001 G+ Spike trail shoe is the first shoe to embrace a graphene-based membrane technology."
