As running gained popularity as a pastime in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes began to influence performance. Although the designs of the time were simple by today's standards, this decade stands out as the time when running shoes became more relevant. The 327 brings a new focus on the 1970s as an era of innovation by boldly reshaping classic design elements with a thoroughly modern perspective. With a new, more angular design of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, oversized asymmetrical "N" branding and a trail-inspired wraparound lug outsole, the 327 is a worthy running heir.
