As recreational running established widespread popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the era’s designs would be considered simple by today’s 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 NB's running heritage.

Ordered two pairs of these but they’re such poor quality, they’re both going back. White & gray pair are a cheap stiff fabric with the N logo printed onto it and stitched over. New Balance logo on other side is ironed on. Black & white pair have a leather-ish N sewn on, and brand name embroidered on, but cheap fabric uppers and the suede is so fuzzy it looks almost hairy. Black pair came with a note warning that black dye may transfer in wet conditions or from perspiration. What? They are shoes to be worn on feet that walk on the ground where gravity pulls liquid. No arch support. Didn’t bother to try them on. For $100 a pop, not worth the money.

Great kicks - I got the white/beige in Women's US 8.5, EU 40. I'm normally an EU 39 in non-sneakers, but I've tried that size in the past in this model and it pinched a bit in the toe. There's a little heel slippage for me in the 40, but using alternative lacing (loop at the top) resolves it. 4 stars only because the sizing is a little inconsistent from the norm.This color combo is fantastic; it's slightly off-white, with a cool, putty-toned beige on the N and on the sole - the sole in particular is gorgeous and I prefer it over the warm-beige gum color that the all-white and some of the other color combos use. This coordinates so well with natural linen tones; perfect for summer! Planning to continue wearing with jeans and my usual black as well.

Fantastic! I bought a pair of Onitsuka tigers because everyone was praising those. Took a while to get the right size but I love them.however after 2 1/2 weeks of wearing them every day on New York City pavement, they were already starting to not support my foot and falling apart a little.These feel super industrial! I wore them nearly every day for four weeks and they are fantastic! Super easy to clean. The majority of my uppers are white, I thought they were leather, but I think they are a type of synthetic foam with some leather accents. That part is disappointing, however, they are very comfortable unlike other synthetic sneakers I’ve worn in the past. I highly recommend these. They even make my foot look smaller, are very cute , and I’ve had many ... MoreFantastic! I bought a pair of Onitsuka tigers because everyone was praising those.

I thought I read enough reviews to make a decision. New Balance has been around a while I should be able to choose any of their shoes and know the brand has me covered. I loved the look of these shoes I needed them to be comfortable while wearing to the gym. I don't run I walk fast on the treadmill at a pretty steep incline and use the elliptical at a steady pace of 3.5 level 1. Week one I got a blister on the back of my heel. Not a terrible one but still a pea sized blister. The inner soles feel weak not enough padding to cushion my feet while moderately walking on the treadmill. I had higher expectations. I have been wearing the shoes going on 2 weeks a one wonder daily if I should return them. The design is cute the signature N is more yellow- ish than white like ...

These are the most uncomfortable gym shoes I’ve ever worn. They’re so cute so I’m sad they didn’t work out. First, the inside is SO cheaply made. It’s so odd how cheap the inside is, it’s like if you took the lining out of a jacket and saw the rough, ugly stitching on the bad side of the material. Even though I had socks on, I could feel the itchy-roughness of the inside of the shoe on my feet. Plus, they are completely flat inside, there is zero arch support or any other type of support. Finally, the fabric going over the top of the toe box is SO tight. My feet were in immediate pain. Is this how NB is making shoes now?
I bought some new ballance trainers of you for my girlfriends birthday and spent £100 on them. They are all marked and looks like one has make up on it. The trainers was put in a cardboard box that was massive and not sent in a nice new ballance box nicly wrapped. I'm currently in the process of sending them back. I'm not happy and has put a dampner on my girlfriend Prestatyn she hasn't been able to enjoy. I expect better quality I send alot of Money with you and expect quality. This time it was poor. I don't like leaving bad reviews but in this case and I'm sorry but I am.
I love these sneakers and have been trying to get them for 2 months…my size is always sold out. Finally ordered them the other day and they arrived this afternoon. Opened the box and they looked liked used sneakers! Showing signs of wear, tossed in the box with no wrapping or protection…maybe these were the samples or something but uggggg!!! For $99…these look like crap. The right shoe has 2 seperate marks one looks like pen and the other marker. I cannot belive an employee looked at these and thought someone would pay full price for damaged sneakers!!! That is messed up! Do better DICKS. I will return and buy in store I guess to make sure I don’t get pre damaged sneakers. If I can get these in my size again! Poor quality control by employees picking online orders.
Tested these shoes on a friend's recommendation. I have had trouble feeling really great and comfortable in a shoe where you can walk all day and not feel any discomfort whatsoever. These shoes are wide enough for a regular to slightly wide foot and they tighten really well and have a great feel on hard surfaces. You feel really cushioned and the experience was excellent. Being white with some suede, I don't use them for walking the dogs in the hills.I had to have my first town Tennis shoes, because they are really needed in our life here in concrete land. They look really great too.They go with everything and and the back heel feels and looks particularly good.
