The New Balance 327 “White Black” MS327CBW is a stylish tribute to the iconic 1970s era of recreational running. During this period, the world of running shoes underwent a significant transformation, shifting from mere utility to a strong emphasis on performance and design. While the shoe designs of that time may appear comparatively simple by today’s standards, they marked a pivotal point in the evolution of running footwear. The 327 proudly reinterprets classic elements, introducing an angular wedge silhouette, an oversized ‘N’ logo that’s asymmetrically positioned, and a trail-inspired lug outsole, all of which breathe fresh life into New Balance’s running heritage with a contemporary twist.
Key features of the 327 include a blend of suede and mesh in its upper, a distinctive “N” logo, and an adjustable lace closure for a personalized fit. The choice of materials combines suede and mesh with a fang design, which is an exaggerated nod to iconic models from the ’70s. Additionally, the shoe boasts a rubber heel wrap and a vintage-inspired nylon tongue, taking inspiration from models like the 320, 355, and Supercomp. This careful blend of retro and modern design elements makes the New Balance 327 a compelling choice for those who appreciate both the history and future of running shoe style.
