Coco Gauff has debuted her new patriotic New Balance shoes at the ongoing United Cup. The USA-inspired colorway has drawn plenty of interest from fans online.
Gauff launched her first signature shoe, Coco CG1, with New Balance back in 2022 at an exhibition match in Atlanta. The CG1 was released in two colorways, Pompey and DigiCoco. The launch came just ahead of that year’s US Open.
Gauff and New Balance followed up with the Coco CG2 in 2024. The second model debuted in the Power and Grace colorway at the US Open.
The latest USA-themed Coco CG2 colorway was unveiled by Gauff on Christmas Eve via Instagram and now debuted on court at the United Cup.
“Consistently the hardest shoes on tour #CG2 @newbalance tennis. CG1’s are my babies, but CG2 is just so elevated,” said of the new pair.
The USA-themed Coco CG2 has been released in two colorways. One features a classic white, red, and blue design, while the other has a mismatched look with a blue left shoe and a red right shoe.
Gauff debuted the white, red, and blue pair in her opening match of the season against Sierra Solana. She wore the mismatched design for the first time during the United States’ quarterfinal win over Greece.
