Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets NNormal apart from other trail-running brands?

  NNormal is a collaboration between Camper and ultrarunner Kilian Jornet that prioritizes “durability as sustainability” and one‑shoe versatility—designs meant to cover VK races through 100‑mile ultras and technical scrambling. The line combines minimalist, performance‑driven silhouettes with extensive field testing in Norway and development work in Mallorca to balance lightweight speed with long‑term durability.
• What materials and technologies power NNormal shoes?

  NNormal uses technical components like Vibram® Megagrip outsoles, Matryx fabric, and recycled OrthoLite® Recycled insoles alongside mulesing‑free merino, 100% organic cotton, and recycled polymers. Specific constructions (e.g., Kjerag’s Matryx upper and Tomir’s monofilament polyester/TPE blend) aim to deliver breathability, abrasion resistance, and sticky traction across wet, rocky, and muddy terrain.
• How does NNormal deliver lightweight performance without sacrificing durability?

  Models such as the Kjerag (≈200 g in UK 8) are engineered to be ultra‑light yet reinforced in high‑wear areas (toes, heels, outsole) and tested for multi‑surface longevity. Midsole geometry and compound choices provide responsive cushioning and stability so the shoes can perform in fast VK efforts and extended ultras while resisting premature breakdown.
• Beyond shoes, what products does NNormal offer and who are they for?

  NNormal’s first drops include technical apparel and accessories—hoodies, race vests, and caps—designed for trail running, hiking, sky races, and ultras. The collection targets a broad audience from beginners (Tomir’s more cushioned, stable fit) to elite racers (Kjerag’s narrower, race‑oriented fit), emphasizing multifunctional pieces that work across training and racing.
• How does NNormal approach sustainability in design and production?

  Sustainability is framed around longevity: using durable materials and construction to extend product life and reduce consumption, plus carbon‑neutral production practices and recycled inputs where possible. Partnerships with suppliers like Vibram and materials choices (recycled OrthoLite®, organic cotton, merino) focus on lowering emissions and waste while keeping high performance.
