What is the difference between the New Balance 327 and the 550 for women?

The 327 is a retro running silhouette with a curved midsole and offset branding; the 550 is a basketball-court shoe with a flat, wider sole and a more structured leather upper. Indian buyers choosing between the two tend to pick 327 for a lighter, more casual wear and 550 for a chunkier, cleaner-lined look that pairs with wide-leg trousers.

How does the Staud x New Balance 327 differ from the standard 327 for women at KM?

The Staud 327 uses a pared-down colour palette and a smoother, less textured mesh upper compared to the standard 327's rougher suede and mesh mix. Staud's collab leans into a minimalist aesthetic and carries a collab logo at the heel tab. It runs on the same last as the standard 327 women's build.

Do New Balance women's sizes at KM align with Indian sizing?

New Balance uses US sizing. Indian women who typically wear an Indian size 6 generally fit a US 8 in New Balance. The 327 runs true to size; the 550 can feel snug through the toe box initially and breaks in over 10 to 15 wears. When in doubt, the KM team recommends sizing up half on the 550.
