The new NNormal Tomir 2.0 , the shoe designed for racking up miles from Kilian Jornet's brand, has arrived at 365Rider . The brand promises a more reinforced, durable, and cushioned Tomir.
At first glance, it has not been a total revolution with respect to the first version, but if we go into details, all areas have been polished to improve the experience, maintaining the essence of the first version.
To begin, we'll tell you that the NNormal Tomir 2.0 is the brand's model that prioritizes comfort and cushioning. We should mention that the other model, the Kjerag, is more focused on performance and is designed for trail runners looking for a more responsive shoe. These Tomir 2.0 shoes weigh 288g and have a 33/25mm stack height (2mm higher), resulting in an 8mm drop.
EExure midsole
We are going to tell it easily, the foam of the Tomir 2.0 is softer. Lower the density of the midsole for a softer and more pleasant touch. Therefore, it further expands the range of its ideal client, and we have a shoe with more cushioning, ideal for long distances. For those of you who have tried the Kjerag, it is the same compound, but with a higher midsole profile. Therefore we also gain dynamism, since this compound has a good response.
Upper
The upper is made of a thermoplastic and polyester material called Ripstop . It's a type of fabric with a rigid feel and excellent durability. Alongside this, there are protective overlays that run along the entire lower part of the upper, where it meets the midsole, primarily protecting the toe. These overlays give the shoe a less robust and structured feel, and a more versatile look.
VIBRAM® Megagrip Litebase Traction Lug Sole
Yes, a tongue-twister of technologies in the sole of these Tomir 2.0 shoes, which also features an improved outsole. It boasts 33 5mm lugs , providing great versatility for different types of terrain. Litebase tells us it's a thinner and lighter compound than the standard. And finally, the Traction Lug uses a new lug design for better traction, although it's very similar to the previous one.
As for the base, these Tomir 2.0 have a wider heel base, for greater stability in any situation.
In conclusion, these are minor changes to fine-tune the performance of the Tomir 2.0. Above all, we'll find it to be a more comfortable shoe to wear, perfect for our daily runs and training sessions. If you'd like to check out our review of the NNormal Kjerag, take a look at our blog.
