Latest collection built to serve the needs of athletes for warm and cold weather training as late summer turns into fall
Los Angeles, CA and Boston, MA (August 17, 2026) – Klutch Athletics, the next generation’s sport brand founded by Rich Paul and co-authored with New Balance, today revealed its Fall 26 collection, highlighted by the coveted Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner in a new Twilight colorway.
The palette for the new Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner draws inspiration from the quiet transition into twilight, when the sun slips below the horizon and shadows lengthen across the landscape. Deep teal tones evoke the final traces of daylight meeting the cool night sky, while the grounded darks are illuminated by the subtle glow of the moon and scattered starlight. From a functional standpoint, the Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner is built for everything training entails – running included.
Complementing this season’s footwear, the new apparel collection serves the needs of athletes for warm and cold weather training as late summer turns into fall. This drop focuses on warm weather solutions and offers seamless transitions from day to night.
The full collection includes new pieces of apparel spanning men’s and women’s, designed for performance and style. Featured among those pieces are key looks built to complement the AC Runner.
The men’s key look available on August 21 includes the NB x Klutch Men’s Performance SS Top and NB x Klutch Men’s Woven Short. The women’s key look dropping on August 21 consists of the NB x Klutch Women’s Cropped Versatile T-Shirt and NB x Klutch Women’s 3 Inch Woven Short.
Key looks available on October 1 include the NB x Klutch Men’s Polar Fleece Pullover and the NB x Klutch Men’s Polar Fleece Pant for men, and theNB x Klutch Women’s Polar Fleece Cropped Half Zip for women.
The Klutch Athletics Fall 26 apparel collection is available beginning August 21 on Klutch.com and NewBalance.com, and the Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner in Twilight will be available on August 21 online and in select retail locations.
