Cofounded by trail running legend Kilian Jornet and high-end footwear brand Camper, NNormal creates durable, refined trail running shoes and technical apparel for big days in the high country. At Oberson, we carry a wide selection of NNormal trail running gear online and at our Laval and Brossard stores.
NNormal trail running gear is anything but. That double N is the tip-off: it’s the contraction of “no normal.” The moniker reflects the extraordinary cofounders, Kilian Jornet and Camper (the name also condenses Nor- from Jornet’s home and training grounds in western Norway with Mal- from Mallorca, Camper’s island headquarters).
Jornet grew up in a Pyrenean hut and went on to become trail running’s incandescent superstar. In addition to dominating the ultramarathon racing circuit, he’s renowned for his superhuman endurance feats. His latest project, States of Elevation, was a journey between and over the continental United States’ fourteeners (mountains over 14,000 feet) by foot and bicycle in just thirty-one days.
Meanwhile, Camper brings its own uncommonness to the young company. With roots steeped in generations of artisanal and then larger-scale shoemaking, the venerable footwear company is known for impeccable materials, meticulous construction, and quietly unconventional design.
Together, the two make unique contributions to NNormal—Jornet, his unrivalled trail running expertise and Camper, well over a century of shoemaking savoir-faire. And this synthesis points to the other meaning of “No Normal”: a different kind of trail running gear that avoids running sneakers’ normal short lifecycle.
In this sense, the pairing is also a perfect match. The company’s vision of sustainability comes from Jornet’s love of wilderness and Camper’s Mediterranean spirit of craftsmanship and long-term thinking. The focus is always on durability through conscious design, high-quality materials, and timeless style rather than trends and wasteful product churn. This translates to light, dependable, eco-friendly gear that gives you an extra level of comfort and new possibilities for mountain adventure.
NNormal has a purposeful lineup: each shoe has a specific approach to trail running. That said, all the brand’s shoes offer lightweight comfort and understated elegance.
Kjerag 2.0
The Kjerag is a high-performance trail running shoe for surefooted speed on technical terrain. This rugged featherweight offers snappy responsiveness and precise ground feel.
Tomir 2.0
The Tomir 2.0 is the workhorse of the lineup. This stable, protective shoe with deep lugs is always up for long runs and hikes on rough trails.
Cadí
The Cadí offers plush, lightweight comfort and progressive responsiveness for everyday running. The versatile model smoothly handles a few kilometres of pavement on the way to the woods and encourages you to keep exploring once you get there.
NNormal draws on cutting-edge technologies to make fast, nimble shoes for technical terrain. Vibram Megagrip outsoles provide dependable grip on wet rocks and loose ground. Vibram Litebase outsoles give runners reliable traction with 30% less weight and half the thickness for more ground feel. The built-in EExpure midsole offers responsive cushioning and reduces the risk of blisters. Matryx uppers combine lightweight breathability with superior abrasion resistance.
