New Balance Japan unveils a new iteration of the 327 sneaker model spotlighted by the stark patterning across the upper. On one side of the shoe, there is a clean black base foundation and the other side has an off-white and gray color palette.
The black side of the shoe is applied on a suede overlay with a monochrome paisley print that rests throughout the underlays. This frames itself around the black leather logo on the midfoot with a large "N" marking the shoe for a bold contrast. This all sits on top of a clean white midsole foundation and black outsole to round it out. There are also markings at the sole unit that travel up to the heel section.
