As recreational running established widespread popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the eras designs would be considered simple by todays standards, the decade stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own. The 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 triedandtrue wedge silhouette, outsize, asymmetrically applied N branding, and wraparound, trailinspired lug outsole, the 327 provides nothing less than a complete reimagination of our running heritage.
