As recreational running became more popular in the 1970s, running shoes began to focus on performance. While the designs of the time would be considered too simple by today's standards, this decade marked the birth of running shoes as we know them. The 327 recalls the innovative period of the 1970s, boldly reshaping classic design elements with a decidedly contemporary vision. With an angular redesign of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, the oversized and asymmetrical N logo, and the trail-inspired wraparound lugged outsole, the 327 offers nothing less than a reinvention of our heritage.
