New Balance x Bandier 327 Sea Salt Sneakers
We've partnered with New Balance to reimagine their iconic 327 silhouette in an exclusive Sea Salt colorway that bridges vintage running heritage with contemporary style. This limited-edition collaboration features a soft neutral palette anchored by premium suede and nylon construction, making it the versatile statement sneaker your rotation has been missing.
The asymmetrical wraparound sole and oversized N logo pay homage to New Balance's 1970s track heritage while our Sea Salt colorway brings a fresh, modern sensibility. We designed this exclusive drop for the woman who moves seamlessly from strength training to street style without compromising on either performance or aesthetics.
Collaboration details & design specs
Materials & Construction
Our New Balance x Bandier 327 Sea Salt sneakers combine buttery premium suede overlays with lightweight nylon underlays in perfectly coordinated neutral tones. The suede provides structure and elevated texture while the breathable nylon mesh keeps your feet cool during high-intensity workouts or all-day wear.
The sole unit features New Balance’s signature EVA wedge construction that delivers responsive cushioning without added bulk. We chose materials that stand up to the demands of your active lifestyle while maintaining the sophisticated aesthetic Bandier is known for, creating a sneaker that transitions effortlessly from the gym to weekend errands.
Sizing & Fit
The New Balance x Bandier 327 runs true to size with a medium width profile that accommodates most foot shapes comfortably. We recommend ordering your standard sneaker size for the best fit. The nylon upper offers slight give across the midfoot as the shoe molds to your unique foot shape over the first few wears.
If you typically size up in athletic footwear or prefer extra room in the toe box, we suggest staying with your larger size. The lace-up closure allows you to customize the fit across the instep, while the padded collar provides secure ankle support without restriction. Our fit model wears a size 8 in most women’s sneakers and finds her true size 8 in this collaboration to be perfect.
Design Heritage & Collaboration Details
Retro Running Inspiration
The New Balance 327 silhouette originally debuted in the 1970s as a performance track shoe, and this collaboration honors that racing DNA through its angular lines and exaggerated midsole wrap. We worked closely with New Balance’s design team to develop the exclusive Sea Salt colorway, selecting soft beige and cream tones that complement our core Bandier color palette.
The oversized N logo that defines the 327’s profile appears in tonal embroidery, creating subtle dimension against the suede panels. We added custom Bandier branding on the tongue label and insole, marking this as a true co-designed piece rather than a simple colorway exclusive.

New Balance x Bandier 327 Sea Salt Questions
Yes, this is an exclusive collaboration between Bandier and New Balance with limited production quantities. The Sea Salt colorway was designed specifically for this partnership and is only available through Bandier. We recommend securing your pair while inventory lasts as previous collaborations have sold out quickly and are not typically restocked.
Treat your sneakers with a suede protector spray before wearing to prevent staining. For cleaning, use a soft suede brush or suede eraser to gently lift dirt and scuffs, working in circular motions to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a small amount of white vinegar on a cloth can help, followed by brushing once dry. Avoid water saturation and never machine wash, as this can damage the premium suede construction.
These sneakers run true to size with a medium width profile. We recommend ordering your standard sneaker size for the best fit. The nylon upper offers slight stretch as the shoe molds to your foot, while the lace-up closure allows customization across the instep. If you're between sizes or prefer extra toe room, size up half a size.
Absolutely. While the 327 has retro styling, it features functional performance elements including EVA cushioning, a supportive midsole, and a rubber outsole with traction. They're ideal for strength training, barre, Pilates, and low-impact cardio. The lightweight construction at 9.5 oz per shoe won't weigh you down during circuit training or HIIT classes.
This partnership features an exclusive Sea Salt colorway developed jointly by Bandier and New Balance design teams, using premium materials selected specifically for this release. The sneakers include custom Bandier branding on the tongue label and insole that you won't find on general market 327s. The neutral color palette was curated to align with Bandier's aesthetic and complement an active lifestyle wardrobe.
The versatile Sea Salt colorway pairs beautifully with high-waisted leggings and sports bras for workouts, or elevate them with relaxed denim, cropped trousers, or midi skirts for everyday wear. The neutral beige and cream tones coordinate with earth tones, pastels, whites, and monochrome looks. Layer with oversized sweatshirts, blazers, or denim jackets depending on the occasion. These sneakers bridge the gap between athletic and lifestyle footwear effortlessly.
While the custom Bandier-branded insoles are unique to this collaboration, standard New Balance insoles in the corresponding size will fit if you need replacements. You can also use aftermarket performance insoles if you require additional arch support or cushioning. The shoe's interior construction accommodates standard insole thickness without affecting fit.
