In the 1970s, recreational running gained popularity: running shoes then really focused on performance. Although the models of the time would seem simple today, these years marked the birth of running shoes as we know them today. The 327 reinvents classic elements from the 1970s to infuse a little modernity into these years of innovation. It completely renovates our racing heritage: a proven, more angular silhouette, a large asymmetrical N logo, and a notched, wraparound outsole inspired by trails.
