The New Balance 327 Is Still Our Go-To Summer Sneaker

The New Balance 327 has become a firm fixture in the Boston-based brand’s arsenal over the past few years, but as newer models have taken centre stage, consider this a reminder that the Charlotte Lee-designed model is still one of the label’s finest exports. Easily one of the Boston-based brand’s best-selling silhouettes, this (now) underrated iconic has since received a fresh makeover that renders it perfect for the summer months, coming finished with mesh uppers, and painted in the perfect pistachio-coloured hue.

Taking inspiration from 70s designs (we need not remind you that retro-inspired models are where it's at right now), this pair quickly became a street-style staple when it launched in 2020. Cosigns from the likes of Casablanca, STAUD and Levi’s helped to cement the shoe’s mass appeal, and the model exceeded all of Lee’s own expectations. Now, with sneaker trends moving faster than ever, the 327 still has a loyal army of fans, as well as those who (like us), remember to dig them out for those warmer months.

Built from mesh and suede and featuring super lightweight construction, you really can’t go wrong with this “Dark Juniper” New Balance 327 and the endless styling options it offers. Available in both adult and GS sizes, hit the links below to secure your size over at New Balance.
