Acid Running enters AW26 with Endless Trails, a collection exploring the contrast between familiar city streets and the more haunting atmosphere of winte’s rural landscapes. Rooted in underground running culture and utilitarian streetwear, the release combines technical performance with a grungy, introspective aesthetic inspired by the dark emptry streets and trails and the fading daylight.
The menswear ranges introduces an updated Lightweight Running Jacket made from ripstop fabric, featuring a packable peaked hood, fully taped internal seams and an overlapping back yoke for ventilation. A new Base Layer uses a 92% natural-fibre blend designed for body-mapped stretch, breathability and rapid cooling. The Running Full Tights provide compressive support through warp-knitted, moisture-wicking fabric, while the Running Gilet adds a lightweight, windproof layed with insulated construction, rear mesh ventilation and secure storage pockets.
Womenswear expands with a tailored Base Layer featuring the same natural-fibre technology, adapted with ruched side seams for a fitted silhouette. It has breathable and quick-drying fabric which offers natural odour resistance and body-mapped stretch.
Endless Trails and Castle Acid
Two graphic concepts shape the collection’s identity. Endless Trails captures the tension between urban running and the unpredictable conditions of winter outdoors. Castle Acid, meanwhile, celebrates the lifelong runner, reflecting on the injuries, discomfort and countless hours of effort that can lead to personal growth. Midnight Ink, Desert Clay and Violey Ash complete the visual direction.
Founder Oliver Powe highlights the momentum followinh the label’s first womenswear collection, with customer feedback also influencing the latest menswear silhouettes. New additions such as the Running Gilet and full-length tights mark another step in the brand’s development.
Following its expansion into Australia and New Zealand, Acid Running continues to bring performance apparel closer to contemporary fashion. The AW26 Endless Trails collection launches in full on 6 November 2026.
