THM MACROSHOTS N58
[HAVEN x norda™ 003]
We were always fascinated by the beauty of different textiles. When you see such a detailed picture of a structure of some amazing fabric, you can definitely understand the whole world of exploration and development behind its creation. And you are just mesmerized by the beauty of it.

So we started our THM MACROSHOTS editorial series, where we explore the complexity, depth, and beauty of different fabrics, textiles, materials, and hardware through the macro lens.



Today we're introducing HAVEN x norda™ 003, a game-changing laceless approach shoe designed to elevate your outdoor experience.

Expanding norda™'s renowned footwear range, the 003 joins forces with the acclaimed 001 and 002 models, presenting a durable, supportive option for hiking, scrambling, and running adventures.

Drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns of mountain formations and the rugged aesthetics of brutalist urban structures, this limited edition collaboration with HAVEN seamlessly marries style and functionality for journeys across diverse conditions and durations.

At the core of HAVEN x norda™ 003, the Vibram® midsole and soleplate represent a pinnacle in outdoor traction engineering. Composed of a high-performance rubber compound meticulously designed for durability, the outsole's lug pattern is strategically engineered to optimize grip on varied terrains. Utilizing a proprietary formulation, the Vibram® technology provides exceptional abrasion resistance, ensuring prolonged functionality in demanding conditions. The material composition and geometric design of the soleplate are finely tuned to offer superior stability and traction, contributing to an elevated standard in outdoor footwear performance.

The Bio-Dyneema® upper of the 003 is a testament to the convergence of material science and outdoor functionality. Leveraging the extraordinary tensile strength of Dyneema® fibers, the upper is constructed with a precision-engineered weave pattern. This bio-based Dyneema® material is derived from renewable sources, enhancing its ecological profile. The exclusive elasticized Bio-Dyneema® developed by norda™ represents a sophisticated augmentation, ensuring not only resilience against wear but also an adaptive fit that retains its structural integrity over extended periods.

The design takes inspiration from biomimicry principles, aligning the shoe's form with the biomechanical intricacies of the human foot.

The integration of a G+® graphene membrane into the upper lining of the 003 marks a significant stride in advanced materials science applied to apparel.

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is known for its exceptional thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. In the context of the 003, the G+® graphene membrane serves as a multifaceted enhancement. Functionally, it augments weather resistance by creating a barrier against external elements.

The thermoregulating properties of graphene enable the shoe to adapt to ambient conditions, providing a comfortable microclimate for the foot.

This groundbreaking integration not only extends the operational range of the footwear but also represents a pioneering use of graphene in outdoor apparel for enhanced performance and adaptability.
