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 OUR RUNNING HERITAGE.
