New Balance 327, in a black and white colorway with a gum sole. The design is inspired by New Balance running shoes from the 1970s and is characterized by a flared midsole, a trail-inspired lugged outsole, and an oversized "N" logo on the side. The upper is made from a combination of materials, including suede and nylon. Some versions of the shoe also feature Cordura fabric. The 327 model is considered versatile, suitable for both casual and athletic wear.
