The New Balance 327 Black Sea Salt is inspired by vintage running shoes from the 1970s for women. This model features an upper body made from leather designed to have a chunky feel. It has a gum rubber sole that provides traction and limits slipping, while the supportive foam midsole combines bright white and cream colors. The body is entirely black, made of breathable materials. A large "N" with minimal perforations for breathability and branding adorns the side. A notable feature is the serrated sole, which enhances comfort and traction.
