FAQs

Are the New Balance 327 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the 327 is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and comfort. For dedicated running, it's recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What materials are the New Balance 327 made from?

These sneakers feature a combination of lightweight nylon and premium suede overlays on the upper, with a rubber outsole and an EVA midsole for cushioning.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The shoes can handle light moisture, but the suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by heavy rain or prolonged wetness. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What does the 'Grey Matter White' colorway mean?

This refers to the specific color combination: 'Grey Matter' for the primary grey tones and 'White' for the contrasting white elements, such as the 'N' logo and midsole accents.

Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?

The New Balance 327 series is available in various colorways and sizes. You may need to check specific product listings for availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift and clean the nap. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean of mud or debris. The tread pattern is designed for grip on most urban surfaces; performance may vary on extremely slick or wet surfaces.

Overall shoe appears dirty

Wipe down the nylon/mesh sections with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, applied with a soft brush or cloth, and allow to air dry completely.
