New Balance introduces a new iteration of the signature 327 sneaker model for the season with an all-black makeup inviting the fall season. The shoes feature a synthetic textile throughout the upper and have touches of suede and leather materials throughout for textural contrsat.
The suede detail adds a structural touch to the shoe, making its way on the vamp, the heel sections, the toe box, and the eye stay. The black leather detail can be seen making up the N logo on the mid-panel. Nylon fabrication is also seen in the construction at the tonal branding reading "NB" right under the flat black laces. Rounding out the shoe is a complementing liner and a rubber waffle sole unit in black.
