NEW BALANCE x J.CREW - MS327JC1
Drawing inspiration from archival sneakers from New Balance's past, the 327 embodies a 70's style runner, with a modern twist. A mixture of slim and chunky, the 327 blends modern technology with classic design.
Conceptualized by Menswear label - J.CREW, and iterated here in an all-new 'Rust' motif, the New Balance 327 sees a blend of earth-tone colors. Atop a baby blue nylon upper, this 327 sees overlays of Rust brown and Smoke grey suedes, while a white sole and white laces add minimal contrast. Finally, the MS327JC1 is finished off with a heel-to-toe wrapped gumsole, featuring large cleated-like tread.
Available this time around in a range of sizes to accommodate both guys and girls, this New Balance 327 offers everyday wearability and comfort for to everyone.

RAF SIMONS x FRED PERRY: SS20
Raf Simons adapts the most iconic pieces from Fred Perry, drawing on details from his own label. Inspired by the uniforms of ‘70s and ‘80s countercultures, Simons takes influence from the energy of youth at that time. This particular collection works with the Museum of Youth Culture and the candid photography of Gavin Watson, who by the age of 16, had already amassed more than 10,000 photos of his mates during the late ‘70s. Through this impressive body of work, Watson was able to document a generation of kids coming of age in subcultural Britain. His photography is printed across iconic Fred Perry silhouettes.
