New Balance & CALIA Women’s 327 Shoes
Our exclusive collaboration with New Balance brings you the Women’s 327 — a modern lifestyle sneaker rooted in ’70s running heritage. We’ve reimagined this iconic silhouette with premium materials and versatile colorways that transition seamlessly from studio to street.
The oversized ‘N’ branding and asymmetrical wedge midsole create a bold, contemporary look while the nylon-suede upper delivers lightweight durability. Whether you’re powering through your workout or running weekend errands, these shoes provide the comfort and style you need to move confidently through your day.
Design & performance details
Materials & Construction
The New Balance & CALIA Women’s 327 Shoes combine premium nylon and suede in the upper, creating a texture-rich exterior that’s both durable and breathable. We selected these materials specifically for their ability to withstand daily wear while maintaining that classic retro aesthetic.
The asymmetrical midsole wraps around the heel with a trail-inspired design that’s become a signature of the 327 line. EVA foam cushioning runs the full length of the shoe, providing responsive comfort whether you’re training or exploring the city. Our collaboration brings exclusive colorway options you won’t find in standard New Balance releases.
Sizing & Fit
We designed the New Balance & CALIA 327 to fit true to size with a medium width profile. The nylon upper offers slight give for natural foot movement, while the suede overlays provide structure around the midfoot and heel.
If you typically wear a half size and prefer a roomier fit, we recommend sizing up. The lace-up closure allows you to customize the fit across the instep. Most customers find these shoes comfortable right out of the box with minimal break-in time needed.
Care Instructions
To keep your New Balance & CALIA 327 Shoes looking fresh, we recommend spot-cleaning the nylon and suede upper with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Avoid saturating the materials — work in small sections and blot excess moisture with a clean cloth.
For tougher stains on the suede panels, a specialized suede eraser works best. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. We suggest alternating between pairs if you wear these daily, giving the EVA midsole time to decompress between wears. Remove the insoles periodically to air out and prevent odor buildup.

Common questions about the New Balance & CALIA 327 Shoes
The 327 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker inspired by ’70s running heritage rather than a performance running shoe. While the EVA cushioning and herringbone outsole provide excellent comfort and traction for walking and light activity, we recommend our Fresh Foam or dedicated training models if you’re looking for shoes specifically engineered for running workouts.
We recommend spot-cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap solution, working in small sections without saturating the materials. For suede areas, use a specialized suede eraser for tougher marks. Always air dry away from direct heat and remove insoles periodically to prevent odor buildup. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the premium materials and adhesives.
Our exclusive collaboration features unique colorways developed specifically for CALIA that you won’t find in standard New Balance releases. We’ve also curated specific material combinations and branding details that align with our brand aesthetic while maintaining the authentic 327 silhouette and New Balance quality standards.

The 327 works well for light gym activities, walking on the treadmill, and studio classes that don’t require lateral stability features. The EVA cushioning provides good support for general fitness activities. However, if you’re doing heavy lifting, HIIT training, or court sports, we recommend browsing our dedicated training shoe collection for models with enhanced stability and support features.
The shoes come with removable cushioned insoles that can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired. Standard New Balance replacement insoles will fit, or you can choose from various third-party comfort insoles in women’s sizing. The insole removal feature makes these shoes adaptable to your specific comfort needs.
The New Balance & CALIA 327 is incredibly versatile — pair them with high-waisted leggings and oversized hoodies for athleisure looks, cropped or straight-leg jeans for casual everyday outfits, or joggers and fitted tops for a sporty aesthetic. The retro-modern design complements both athletic wear from our collection and casual weekend wardrobe staples. The key is letting the bold midsole and branding be a statement piece in your outfit.
