FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the New Balance 327 design?
The New Balance 327 design is heavily inspired by running shoe aesthetics from the 1970s, blending vintage elements with contemporary style.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?
No, the New Balance 327 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and comfort, not for performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede and nylon parts of the shoes?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. For scuffs on suede, a suede eraser can be effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The outsole is inspired by trail running designs, featuring a studded-serrated pattern that offers reliable grip on various everyday surfaces.
Can I adjust the fit of these trainers?
Yes, the trainers feature an adjustable lace closure that allows you to customize the fit for your comfort and preference.
What does the "Grey Matter White" colorway refer to?
This refers to the specific color scheme of the shoe, featuring a dominant grey tone ('Grey Matter') combined with white accents.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed using a combination of lightweight nylon and premium suede overlays for a blend of durability and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more relaxed fit. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size larger if the issue persists and is due to the shoe's length.
Suede material looks scuffed or dirty
Use a suede eraser to gently remove scuffs. For general dirt, use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry and brush the suede to restore its texture.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While the outsole offers good grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean. If slippage is a persistent issue on specific surfaces, consider using the shoes with caution in those conditions.
Laces become untied easily
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Inspect laces for wear and tear; worn laces may not hold knots as well.
