New Balance U327LJ

As recreational running grew in popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes shifted from mere existence to performance. While the designs of this era would be considered simple by today's standards, this decade is when running shoes really came into their own. The 327 sheds new light on the 70s as a time of innovation, boldly reimagining classic design elements with a thoroughly modern look. With an edgy reworking of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, an oversized, asymmetrically placed "N" logo and a wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole, the 327 offers nothing less than a complete reinterpretation of running tradition.
