This take on the 327 comes equipped with soft-touch uppers readied in textile and suede, to be admired by hand and by eye. The slick black palette is complemented by grey 'N' branding on the sidewall for a dose of New Balance heritage, aided by branding on the tongue and heel, too. A well-cushioned midsole supplies plenty of support underfoot, and a lugged outsole is comprised of rubber for grippy tread action further down. U327WCD, Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole.
