HAVEN Presents Its Take on the norda 003
Serving as the debut of the new laceless silhouette.
Two major players in fashion based out of Canada are renowned retailer HAVEN and running shoe brand norda. Over the past weekend, HAVEN co-founder Arthur Chmielewski was featured as the latest guest in Hypebeast’s weekly Sole Mates series, where he revealed HAVEN’s collaboration on the brand-new norda 003. Dubbing it the most comfortable piece of footwear he’s ever owned, Chmielewski had nothing but praise for the new runner and is gearing up to bring the shoe to the masses with the HAVEN x norda 003 launching later this week.
Building upon the success of the norda 001 and 002, the 003 features the same level of durability and support while sporting a laceless build for the first time. Key technical aspects include a bio-based Dyneema upper, Vibram outsoles and for this collaborative colorway, a G+ graphene membrane at the upper’s lining that provides thermoregulation and weather resistance to combat the elements. HAVEN’s take on the new silhouette utilizes a color palette that draws from mountain formations and brutalist urban structures as black, brown and white combine for a fall-ready finish.
Release for the HAVEN x norda 003 kicks off on December 1 via norda and HAVEN at a price of $325 USD. Shortly thereafter, select global stockists will carry the launch.
