Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Norse Projects ARTISK Zip Up Runner is Waterproof

— September 20, 2022 — Fashion
The Norse Projects ARTISK Zip Up Runner is a technical footwear style crafted with durability and performance in mind to help outdoors athletes alike easily handle anything the trail throws at them.

The shoe is constructed with a neoprene sockliner covered in rip-stop nylon with a diamond structure and is overlaid with a Hydro Guard membrane to deliver a 100% waterproof form with the zipper closure. The reinforced heel and toe are covered with a TPU finish, while the OrthoLite insole helps to wick moisture away form the foot.

The Norse Projects ARTISK Zip Up Runner has a Vibram Megagrip compound outsole that's further bolstered with the brand's Tech Wrap to provide enhanced traction on any terrain. Priced at $325, the shoes are available now.
