As running enjoyed great popularity in the 1970s, the standard for running shoes shifted from mere existence to performance. Although the designs of the time would be considered simplistic by today's standards, this decade marks the beginning of a new era of running shoes. The 327 shines a new light on the '70s as a time of innovation by boldly reimagining classic design elements with a thoroughly modern point of view. With an edgy redesign of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, an oversized, asymmetrically placed 'N' logo and a wraparound trail-inspired lug sole, the 327 is nothing less than a complete reimagining of our running shoe tradition.
