Coco Gauff, the 20-year-old tennis sensation, has unveiled her latest signature shoe with New Balance, the Coco CG1 "Grey Days." This special-edition sneaker is a nod to the brand's heritage and the moody neutrals that have become synonymous with the Boston-based sportswear giant.
The "Grey Days" CG1 features a hairy suede upper in a range of subtle stone and off-white hues. The sand-colored sole bears the inspiring words of Gauff's father, "You can change the world with your racquet." This message reflects Gauff's commitment to using her platform for social change.
The Grey Coco CG1 is the culmination of New Balance's annual Grey Day celebration, which pays homage to the color that has become emblematic for the brand since its introduction in the 1980s. Throughout the month, New Balance athletes, including Gauff and Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard, have showcased their own gray sneakers and apparel.
Gauff's shoe will make its Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros, where the gray and beige design will face the ultimate test on the tournament's infamous terre-battue surface. The shoe will be unveiled in person at "Coco's Court," a pop-up experience in Paris ahead of the tournament.
The pop-up will offer fans a chance to experience Gauff's favorite treats and activities, customize their own apparel, and enjoy live music. The "Grey Days" CG1 will be available for purchase on May 24th, adding a touch of moody elegance to the tennis courts and beyond.
