As casual 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 basic by today's standards, this decade is the moment when running shoes really came into their own. The 327 sheds new light on the '70s as a time of innovation, boldly revamping 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 total reinterpretation of our running heritage.
