Summary

  • Rich Paul’s Klutch Athletics and New Balance have officially revealed the first installment of their Spring 2026 seasonal lineup
  • The collaborative drop is highlighted by the introduction of the limited-edition AC Runner silhouette in a versatile colorway
  • A comprehensive range of men’s and women’s performance apparel completes the release with moisture-wicking and comfort-stretch fabrics

Klutch Athletics by New Balance has officially unveiled the first wave of its Spring 2026 collection, highlighted by the debut of the highly anticipated AC Runner. Founded by Rich Paul, the next-generation sports brand continues its mission to outfit young athletes with premium gear designed for both rigorous training and everyday lifestyle wear.

At the center of the seasonal delivery is the limited-edition Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner. Built for conditioning and dynamic movements, the sleek silhouette arrives in a classic Black/White/Castle Rock color scheme. The sneaker features a breathable mesh upper accented with printed graphics and a sculpted design. Underfoot, a Fresh Foam X midsole leverages three different levels of foam firmness to deliver incredible comfort from explosive drills to casual strides. The performance model is further reinforced by Stability Rails, which utilize the firmest durometer of midsole foam to ensure trust and confidence in both lateral and linear directions.

Accompanying the footwear debut is a robust 17-piece apparel capsule spanning men’s and women’s sizing. Key men’s looks feature the Active Knit Cutoff equipped with fast-drying NB Dry technology, a lightweight poly knit Performance Tank, and a breathable Mesh Short complete with side zipper pockets and a side split hem. On the women’s side, the collection highlights a full-zip Woven Jacket with an adjustable bungee hem, a mesh-lined Racerback Bra, and the NB Harmony-constructed Bike Short that utilizes butter-soft, comfort-stretch fabric for lower-intensity workouts.

The Klutch Athletics by New Balance Spring 2026 apparel drops March 12 via Klutch and New Balance, while the AC Runner drops April 2 via select retail locations.
