As recreational running grew in popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes shifted from simply existing to delivering performance. While the designs of the era may seem simple by today’s standards, the decade stood out as the time when running shoes truly developed their own identity. The 327 sheds new light on the ‘70s as a period of innovation, boldly reimagining classic design elements with a thoroughly contemporary outlook. Featuring an angular reinterpretation of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, oversized asymmetrical “N” branding, and a wraparound trail-inspired outsole, the 327 delivers nothing short of a complete reimagining of our running heritage.
