As recreational running established widespread popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the eras designs would be considered simple by todays standards, the decade stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own. The 327 sheds new light on the 70s as a time of innovation by boldly reshaping classic design elements with a thoroughly contemporary outlook. With, an angular reworking of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, outsize, asymmetrically applied N branding, and wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole, the 327 provides nothing less than a complete reimagination of our running heritage.

The quality and the materials seem to be very good, although the actual size is smaller than expected. I wear male 42 (EU) and usually buy 43 (EU) when it comes to sport shoes. The 43 (EU) size I bought form this model turned out uncomfortably small with the tip of the big toe touching the nose.The color of dark arctic grey turned out 2-3 tones lighter than in the original photos. This makes this pair look more lighter-whiter in general, impression is that this are summer only shoes.

These sneakers are so comfortable and stylish. Get so many compliments and goes well with jeans and pants. I wear them to the park and work. Started with one pair and within the next week bought another different color. Try them, what are you waiting for?

NB 327s are as stylish as they are comfortable! The green color is subtle, pretty. Love the look - casual or chic, depending on your outfit.My daughter wears the same size as I do. She loves them, too, and asked if she could keep these 327s. ??I'll be purchasing another pair in a half size larger for me. I prefer extra room in the toe.

The New Balance 327 seems like an old school trainer with a classic vibe but is actually less than 5 years old from the original release.This version of the trainer looks fashionable, but is also very comfortable and will sit well with any trainer fan that has Adidas Originals or Air Max's in their rotation.The detail on this trainer is great from the suede trim to the unique extended outsole and various different colour ways available mean's you should always be able to find the right one for you!
I have some 327s in women's sizes and I love them! I thought I'd try the gender inclusive version because there was a color that I really liked a lot. I tried in store and make no mistake...as cute as these are, they are men's shoes and you will be sizing based on the translation of women's to men's sizing. Which, seems fine except our feet are different and these shoes were very, very wide on my true medium foot. They were also at least an inch longer than my size in my womens' 327.If you have wide feet or don't mind them fitting like a very wide shoe, you might enjoy these. But they offered no support and felt like I was wearing someone else's shoes.
I was excited about the color. But the quality is NOT like the pair I received a few months ago. 1. The orange suede looks rough and used. 2. The gray fabric on the sides is rippled. I decided Not to return. Don’t know IF I will chance the black. Disappointed because I really like the style of the shoe!
Loved this colourway of the NB 327 trainers but the fit isn't good, gutted. I tried them on in store, they were super comfy so ordered the 6 online. Mine arrived and they have wrecked my feet after one wear. Really disappointed and will have to sell them on. The advice was that they are a normal fit. It doesn't seem the case. Beware if purchasing these trainers really test them in home before deciding.
NBs are narrow trainers, and also smaller than other trainers I usually wear in the same size (e.g converse, Nike, vans, dunlops). Material seems quite cheap and no rings on the laces so I feel like the fabric would tear fairly easily.Items is fulfilled by new balance, so be aware of these items as delivery is slower, updates/comms are worse and delivery wad.later than confirmed, came about a week after the estimated delivery date.
I’ve always admired these trainers from afar, maybe not this colour in particular, but my son chose these and was super happy when they arrived. Glad I did. These are super comfy. Had a lot of compliments too. I did go up half a size though. Plus I have wide feet and these were perfect going up just that little bit. I would highly recommend, just hope they hold out as they are not cheap. Best trainers I’ve bought though. Thumbs up from me!!
I buy the unisex sizes because I have wide feet, these are great! I spend 12 hours on my feet at work, so a good shoe is a must! Many of us in the ER wear the 327, love the form and function! I just wish they were more available, I have to stalk the NB site for new stock, which doesn't happen often. I bought my first pair on a chance stop at a mom and pop sneaker store in Georgetown and have been searching for another pair for 5 months! This was the first time NB had my size. :)
