Casablanca x New Balance 327 “Red Monogram” Releasing Late May
Dropped
While its classic-yet-modern design would have arguably guaranteed markets success on its own right, the real kicker for the New Balance 327 was its debut drop in collaboration with Parisian label Casablanca. The hype carried on longer than expected through to its mainline drops, but by the time it arrived back to Casablanca for a sophomore collection, it somewhat fell flat on its face. Granted, the model is still moving units (and then some) — but it appears that the first wave has settled. That is until now, with a third effort from the label already drumming up significant interest across social media and message boards alike.
Teased by brand collaborations manager Joe Grondin, this upcoming New Balance 327 release comes equipped with Casablanca’s seasonal Monogramme pattern that was first introduced as part of its Autumn/Winter collection. With its heritage high-fashion appeal, the fabric features linked strands of gold and green atop a bordeaux base, seen here gracing the forefoot and rear overlays. Special banding is also placed down the length of the sail-tinted tongue, while most else appears to arrive in their now-signature mix of white perforated leather, white midsoles, and green rubber outsoles.
Update 12.30.20 A second colorway of the Casablanca x New Balance 327 “Monogramme” has been revealed. The white-based pair features beige and bright green Monogramme prints along with hints of pink at the midsole and midfoot N trim. Greens used at the laces and outsole are significantly more vibrant than the first-previewed option, while tinted tongues and ribbon trim remain consistent.Update 05.06.20 Casablanca has finally teased it’s original Red Monogram New Balance 327 for release, taking to Instagram yesterday to hint and an impending drop.
