When recreational running became widespread in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes shifted from mere “shoe” to performance. Although the designs of that era would be considered simple by today's standards, this decade is known as the time when running shoes really came into their own. The 327 sheds new light on the 1970s as a time of innovation by giving classic design elements a bold new shape with an entirely contemporary look. With an angular reworking of the tried-and-true wedge heel silhouette, the outsized, asymmetrical 'N' logo and the wrap-around, trail-inspired lug sole, the 327 is nothing short of a complete revival of our running past.
