NNormal Kjerag 02 - Black

Normal Kjerag 02 – Black

The NNormal Kjerag 02 – Black is the further developed version of NNormal's most iconic trail shoe – now with more cushioning, better response and even higher speed . The classic black upper is combined with a striking red outsole and a clear focus: the Kjerag 02 is built to run faster .

The shoe is designed for fast trail running, racing and high-intensity workouts on technical terrain. With an updated EExpure+ (TPE-based material) midsole, you get 35% more energy return and better resilience , which provides a more responsive stride and better comfort over longer distances. Stack height has been increased to 26 mm rear / 20 mm front , combined with a more pronounced rocker for a smoother push-off.

The Matryx® Jacquard Single Layer upper is lighter, more comfortable and extremely durable. The material is dope-dyed , which means a dyeing process that uses 50-95% less water compared to traditional methods – a clear step towards more sustainable performance.

The outsole remains unchanged – and for good reason. Vibram® Megagrip with Litebase technology delivers market-leading grip on both wet and dry surfaces, with low weight and high durability. With 3.5 mm studs , you get reliable traction on technical trails, rocks, gravel and fast paths.

Kjerag 02 retains its DNA , but is now adapted for more runners: faster, more forgiving and more comfortable – without compromising on precision or feel.

Kjerag 02 – simply faster.
