In a social media blast, Paul debuted the Klutch Athletics x New Balance AC Runner, a fresh face in the New Balance catalog in its own right. True to form, this collab variation delivers the monochromatic, simplistic air that\u2019s defined KA to this point, given a reliable black-and-white platform before mixing up something a bit more experimental with wavy neutral patterning in the uppers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-gallery-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sn-gallery\">\n<div id=\"gallery-1\" class=\"sn-gallery-slider gallery galleryid-1440051 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rich-paul-klutch-athletics-new-balance-ac-runner-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rich Paul Klutch Athletics New Balance Ac Runner 3\"><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rich-paul-klutch-athletics-new-balance-ac-runner-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rich Paul Klutch Athletics New Balance Ac Runner 2\"><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rich-paul-klutch-athletics-new-balance-ac-runner-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rich Paul Klutch Athletics New Balance Ac Runner 4\"><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-gallery-counter\">1 of 3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-gallery-pager\">\n<div class=\"page-link\" data-slide-index=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rich-paul-klutch-athletics-new-balance-ac-runner-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rich Paul Klutch Athletics New Balance Ac Runner 3\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page-link\" data-slide-index=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rich-paul-klutch-athletics-new-balance-ac-runner-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rich Paul Klutch Athletics New Balance Ac Runner 2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page-link\" data-slide-index=\"2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/sneakernews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rich-paul-klutch-athletics-new-balance-ac-runner-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rich Paul Klutch Athletics New Balance Ac Runner 4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At least in our coverage, this marks the first time we\u2019ve crossed paths with the AC Runner, given somewhat of a low-key debut in January. In contrast to the brand\u2019s established roster of mile-eaters and trail runners, the AC Runner is pitched as more of an all-around option, with its Fresh Foam X midsole split over three distinct densities, positioned for all manner of training rather than only your longer distances.<\/p>\n<p>Given the range in the Klutch roster, it makes this a fitting silhouette for Paul to bring his talents to, all things considered. Though details on when to expect the mega-agent\u2019s efforts are opaque for the moment, four colorways of the AC Runner have already hit NewBalance.com.
