Rich Paul not only works with New Balance on a personal level but also through Klutch Athletics, a sportswear brand he created with the Boston-based footwear brand. Since then, the label has dropped multiple apparel capsules and even has signed athletes like Jalil Bethea, Will Anderson Jr., and Aaliyah Crump. Marking the brand's inaugural footwear release, Klutch Athletics will get its colorway of the New Balance Fresh Foam X Cruz v3
The Klutch Athletics x NB Fresh Foam X Cruz v3 blends everyday performance with modern style, showcasing a plush fit and feel courtesy of premium materials and the signature Fresh Foam midsole cushioning for maximum comfort. Reflecting the subtle but impactful aesthetic synonymous with New Balance, the sneaker features foundational colorways in sleek black and angora—colors inspired by the markings and guidelines on athletic fields.

Its versatile design ensures it performs exceptionally in training sessions yet remains stylish enough for daily wear. Accompanying the footwear release, Klutch Athletics introduces a range of apparel items, including fleece hoodies, performance T-shirts, jackets, and more, all designed to complement the sneaker's athletic versatility.
The Klutch Athletics x NB Fresh Foam X Cruz v3 will release on April 10, 2025, through Klutch Athletics and New Balance online. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is $90 for the Fresh Foam X Cruz v3.
