References: aphrodite1994 & hypebeast
New Balance introduces a new colorway of the iconic 327 sneaker model and it delivers muted designs. It takes on a monochromatic take of the shoe while retaining the retro elements. Striping back the bright hues, the black and gray colors make up the entire silhouette.
It sits on top of a chunky midsole in white for some contrast and the upper is made from nylon materials. It is then overlayed with suede materials and finished off with a tonal lacing system. The rest of the shoe is complete with a studded gum sole at the bottom. Branding details can be seen at the exterior marking a large "N" on the side of the shoe.
