The Kluth Athletics x New Balance AC Runner Drops Next Month

Rich Paul’s Klutch brand covers every aspect of his business, from his top-tier sports agency to the Klutch Athletics fashion label and its long-term partnership with New Balance. In Klutch’s latest collab with the Boston-based brand, Paul puts his touch on the all-new AC Runner cross-trainer.

The Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner is built for athletes in training, perfect for Klutch’s young clients working towards drafts and off-season progression. Mixing black, white, and Castle Rock grey across the micro-dot armored upper, the star of the show is the Fresh Foam X midsole constructed with varying densities of cushioning to perfectly protect the foot during tough workouts.

Paul first previewed the AC Runner collab last month, kicking his feet up on his desk in the black, white, and grey colorway. To drive home the collab, a Klutch “K” logo is added on the tongue.

The Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner will be released April 2, 2026 through Klutch, New Balance, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. For all the latest New Balance collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
