As tempeatures continue to drop, New Balance is looking beyond sneakers to the smaller pieces that can make a difference on a winter run. The brand’s running accessories are designed around the same balance of practicality and performance as its footwear, giving runners simple ways to stay comfortable when conditions become less forgiving.
Essential Pieces for the Runners
For the FW26 season, three cold-weather essentials stand out. The Performance Convertible Gloves (£48) offer protection for colder hands while still being flexible for the runners when they are moving. Alongside them, the Balaclava comes in at £27, providing extra coverage as the temperatures continue to fall. This ensures that the face keeps being warm, so runners can continue to focus on reaching their PR. New Balance also offers a more casual look with the Fisherman Beanie (£20), this beanie is an everyday essential which is also the perfect gift for non-runners as it is the most fashionable out of the three.
Built Around the Winter Run
The accessories also reflect how much attention goes into the less obvious part of preparing for a run. Cold hands, exposed ears and the always changing temperatures can quickly turn an otherwise comfortable run into a very uncomfortable one, making gloves and headwear more than finishing touches.
