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.

You will then turn your attention to the soles of the sneakers - you can follow the same process as before but can use more force if necessary to remove any stubborn dirt on the soles of the sneakers.
