The Karen Walker 327 reinterprets classic 1970s running aesthetics with modern flair. Featuring a flared midsole and an innovative suede and mesh upper, the design pays homage to past trail runners while embracing contemporary style. The oversized ‘N’ branding and lugged outsole provide both standout style and functionality. Ideal for runners seeking performance with a retro vibe, these shoes combine heritage elements with a fresh perspective for today's active lifestyle.
From the brand: As recreational running established widespread popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the era’s designs would be considered simple by today’s standards, the decade stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own. The 327 sheds new light on the ‘70s as a time of innovation by boldly reshaping classic design elements with a thoroughly contemporary outlook. With an angular reworking of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, outsize, asymmetrically applied ‘N’ branding, and wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole, the 327 provides nothing less than a complete reimagination of running heritage.
