How To Clean New Balance 327
[ How To ]
Article
We got our hands on a dirty pair of New Balance 327 sneakers and we thought to document the cleaning process to show you the best way to look after your sneakers.
The 327 debuted in 2020 as “the ultimate leisure shoe”. The model is inspired by runners from the 1970s – namely the New Balance 320 (1976), New Balance 355 (1977), and New Balance SuperComp (1977). The silhouette instantly became a hit for New Balance and has since become a go-to-sneaker for most sneakerheads.
