As recreational running gained popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running shoes shifted from mere existence to performance.
While the designs of the era would be considered simple by today’s standards, this decade stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own
The 327 sheds new light on the ’70s as a period of innovation by boldly reshaping classic design elements with a decidedly contemporary perspective
With an angular rethink of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, an oversized, asymmetrical “N” branding, and a trail-inspired, wrapped lugged outsole, the 327 offers nothing short of a complete reimagining of our running heritage
