I Keep Seeing These New Cult Trainers All Over London

If I were to sum up fashion at the moment it would be nostalgic. Since the large fashion houses began sorting through their archives to revive long-forgotten silhouettes and icon pieces (think the Prada Re-Nylon or the Fendi baguette) the fashion scene has been looking back for the trends of tomorrow. In terms of clothing, we’ve watched the the cargo pant revival, trending corset tops and even oversized silhouettes come back into style that are all reminiscent of 90s and 00s style. Evidently, footwear got the memo, leading the shoes of the moment to be "old” styles, notably the return of ballet flats, riding boots and leggings, and even kitten heels. In the trainer world, brands have looked even further back to reissue decades-old gems that are returning, reinvented, to join the retro theme. So, it’s no surprise that when New Balance released the 327's, a reimagined version of the 70’s running shoe, the London fashion set immediately bought in.
You might remember the success that New Balance had last time they reissued an archival shoe. The green and white 550’s that took over our Instagram feeds and were styled from everything from tailoring to dresses. Clearly, the brand understands the power of its own heritage, and now the New Balance 327 is here to take the sartorial stage as the trainer of the moment.
To create the 327, New Balance has taken the classic running shoe shape, and elevated the sole (literally) to a more fashion feel. The brand's icon 'N' has been enlarged, reminiscent of retro trainer logos - a far cry from the minimalist logos of late. The women's shoe style comes in a variety of colourways, from Monikh's colour-block style to paired-back styles meaning no matter your style there's a 327 for you.
