As recreational running established widespread popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the era’s designs would be considered simple by today’s standards, the decade stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own. The New Balance 327 sheds new light on the ‘70s as a time of innovation by boldly reshaping classic design elements with a thoroughly contemporary outlook. With an angular reworking of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, outsize, asymmetrically applied ‘N’ branding, and wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole, the New Balance 327 provides nothing less than a complete reimagination of our running heritage.
Everyone’s favourite Boston-based sneaker brand New Balance celebrates its running heritage with this “Turtledove” 327 variation. Echoing the technical innovation of the ‘70s that arose with the popularity of recreational running, these dynamic textile and leather uppers are supported by a wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole - while the ever iconic ‘N’ logo stamps it with the brand’s seal of approval.
