FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the New Balance 327 trainers?

The New Balance 327 trainers are inspired by retro trail running shoes from the 1970s, combining vintage aesthetics with modern comfort and design elements.

Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic activities?

While inspired by trail running shoes, the 327 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday casual wear. They offer comfort for walking but are not intended for intense athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage the suede.

What does the oversized 'N' logo signify?

The oversized 'N' logo is an iconic branding element for New Balance, introduced in the 327 series to make a bold design statement.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede and leather trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions as it can lead to staining and damage. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

What other colorways or sizes are available for the 327 series?

The New Balance 327 series is available in a variety of colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options, as this guide focuses on the Black - UK 8 variant.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or poor fit

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes feel too tight or loose, double-check the sizing guide. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. If necessary, use a suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.

Laces become worn or dirty

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Dirty laces can often be cleaned separately by hand washing or machine washing in a garment bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and mesh. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used on the leather and midsole. Avoid excessive water, especially on suede.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  3. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
