New Balance Men's 327 Sneaker, Gray, 8.5 UK

With the rise of recreational running in the '70s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the era's styles would be considered overly simple by today's standards, the decade stands out as a time when running shoes truly came into their own. The 327 shines a new light on the '70s as a time of innovation, boldly reshaping classic design elements for the modern age. With an edgy take on the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, asymmetrical 'N' branding, and a trail-inspired, wraparound outsole, the 327 is nothing less than a complete reimagining of our running heritage.
