The NNORMAL Cadí arrives in 2026 as a model designed for the vast majority of trail runners who run on easy or moderate trails, seeking comfort, soft cushioning, a wider fit and a shoe capable of performing for many hours without punishing their feet.
Within the NNORMAL catalogue, the Cadí is positioned as an alternative focused on comfort and versatility, complementing more technical models such as the Kjerag or more robust options such as the Tomir.
Upper: instant comfort and long-lasting protection
The upper of the Cadí is designed to offer a comfortable experience from the very first use.
According to official data:
- Technical and resistant upper, prepared to withstand rubbing and continuous use.
- Wider fit with a spacious toe box, facilitating natural foot movement.
- Inspired by the Kjerag last, but with more volume and freedom in the forefoot.
- Materials with a good balance between breathability and durability.
This upper is designed for long runs, feet that tend to swell, or runners who need stability without rigidity.
Midsole: EExpure supercritical foam for a soft and stable feel
The midsole uses EExpure foam, a supercritical formulation that stands out for being lightweight, soft underfoot, responsive when you pick up the pace, and stable during prolonged support.
Technical data:
- Height: 35 mm heel / 29 mm forefoot
- Drop: 6 mm
The overall feel is comfortable and protective for long hours, maintaining a moderate return that helps maintain a fluid pace without requiring refined technique.
Sole: Vibram Megagrip for confidence on most terrains
The Cadí features Vibram Megagrip, one of the most reliable compounds in the industry for runners seeking consistent traction and durability.
Features:
- 4 mm lugs, sufficient for varied trails without compromising on track or easy terrain.
- Good grip in dry and moderately wet conditions.
- Compound designed for many kilometres without losing performance.
This sole is designed for terrain where most runners usually run: clean trails, paths, forest tracks and low to medium difficulty mountain areas.
Weight: 270 g
Weighing in at 270 g, the Cadí offers a good balance between cushioning, protection and lightness. It is not ultra-light, but it is well-balanced for its segment.
Race sensations
✔ Comfort from the first kilometre
The upper and EExpure® foam offer a comfortable and stable feel.
✔ Smooth pace on tracks and trails

✔ Stability at moderate paces
Its wide platform and 6 mm drop promote a stable stride over long distances.
✔ Perfect for high-volume days or long training sessions
Designed to protect joints and minimise fatigue.
✔ Not a technical model
On rocky terrain, very uneven surfaces or fast and demanding stretches, other more specific options work better.
Who is NNORMAL Cadí for?
The Cadí is particularly suitable for:
- Runners who train on easy or mixed trails.
- Athletes looking for maximum comfort on long runs.
- Those who need a wider fit or whose feet swell during ultras.
- Runners who prioritise durability over extreme lightness.
- Users who want a more accessible NNORMAL than Kjerag or Tomir.
