New Balance 327

With the rise of recreational running in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the era's designs might be considered too basic by today's standards, it stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own. The 327 shines a new light on the 1970s as a time of innovation, boldly reshaping classic design elements for a thoroughly contemporary look. With an edgy reimagining of the tried-and-true elevated silhouette, asymmetrical "N" branding, and a trail-inspired, wraparound outsole, the 327 is a complete reimagining of our running heritage.
