The New Balance 327 Black White N Logo is a running sneaker featuring a synthetic upper in black nylon and suede, a flared midsole, an oversized N logo in white on the sides, and New Balance text branding in white on the interior heel. Additional features include the lug outsole and rubber heel wrap in black, along with a vintage-inspired nylon tongue.


With the 327, New Balance looks back to the 1970s, when running for sport and fitness came into its own and footwear began to be designed for performance. Taking cues from the simplicity of New Balance's heritage 1970s running shoes, the 327 features a vintage silhouette, while details like the exaggerated fang design and wrapped heel modernize the look.


In our opinion, the best feature of the New Balance 327 is its oversize N branding, which distinguishes it from other retro-aiming running shoes.
