STAUD introduces a new iteration of the signature New Balance 327 sneaker model for the season in an earthy tonal palette for the colder seasons. The update features a minimal look with premium materials making up the overall construction of the sneaker.
The bottom of the sneaker features a classic gum sole for a classic look detailing a timeless model. STAUD continues to accent the sneaker with subtle details in white and gray that can be found on the grippy sole unit.
