As recreational running became very popular in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes shifted from mere existence to performance. Although the designs of the time are considered simple by today's standards, the decade stood out as the moment when running shoes gained an identity of their own. The 327 sheds new light on the 1970s as a time of innovation, boldly reworking classic design elements with a totally contemporary perspective. With a tried and tested angular reworking of the toe silhouette, oversized, asymmetrically placed ‘N’ branding and a trail-inspired wraparound sole, the 327 provides nothing less than a complete reinterpretation of our running shoe legacy.

- Oversized ‘N’ branding
- Linear ‘New Balance’ text branding in the centre
