Rich Paul‘s Klutch Athletics is easing into the new season the way most seasoned athletes do, with layers. The brand’s ongoing collaboration with New Balance has produced a Fall 26 collection that leans on its most recognizable silhouette to date, the AC Runner, now reworked in a “Twilight” colorway that takes its cues from the moment the sun disappears and the sky settles into something darker and quieter.
“Twilight” is less about a single color and more about a moment, that stretch right after sunset when the sky hasn’t fully committed to night yet. New Balance and Klutch chase that idea through a mix of teal with small hits of brighter color woven in to stand in for moonlight. The AC Runner remains built for the gym floor as much as the track, something Klutch has leaned on since introducing the silhouette.
The footwear isn’t traveling alone this time. Klutch Athletics is rolling out an apparel collection alongside it, one built with the same late-summer-into-fall stretch in mind, when mornings start cooling off but afternoons still call for something lighter. The early pieces of this drop are geared toward warm weather, with designs meant to transition easily from daytime training to evening wear with minimal adjustment. For the key looks that complement the shoe, men get a short-sleeve performance top paired with a woven short, while the women’s look pairs a cropped, versatile tee with a 3-inch woven short.
Klutch isn’t stopping at warm-weather gear. A second wave of the collection is being held for October 1, once the temperature drop actually sets in, and it swaps the lighter fabrics for a polar fleece pullover and matching pants for men and a cropped half-zip fleece for women.
To celebrate the launch, Rich Paul is set to appear at Snipes in Philadelphia on the Friday afternoon of the release, from 3:30-5:30pm, alongside local athletes and guests, with an on-site customization setup giving attendees a chance to put their own stamp on the release before it sells out.
The Klutch Athletics x New Balance Fall 2026 collection becomes available August 21 on Klutch.com and NewBalance.com, with the AC Runner in “Twilight” also hitting select retail doors that day. Check out the collection below.
