As recreational running gained popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes shifted from mere existence to performance. While the designs of the time may seem simple by today’s standards, the decade stood out as the moment when running shoes developed a true identity. The 327 shines a new light on the '70s as an era of innovation, boldly reshaping classic design elements through a thoroughly contemporary lens. Featuring an angular reinterpretation of the proven wedge silhouette, oversized asymmetrical "N" branding, and a wraparound trail-inspired outsole, the 327 offers nothing short of a complete reimagining of our running shoe heritage.
