As recreational running gained mainstream momentum in the 1970s, the focus of running footwear evolved from basic function to true performance. Though the designs of the era may seem minimal by today's standards, it was a defining decade that laid the foundation for modern running shoes. The 327 reinterprets this pivotal period with a bold, modern perspective—transforming classic design cues into something entirely fresh. Featuring a sharp update to the traditional wedge silhouette, oversized asymmetrical ‘N’ branding, and a rugged, wraparound lug outsole inspired by trail running, the 327 is a striking reinvention of New Balance’s performance heritage.
