The teenage sensation and New Balance have agreed to a multi-year contract. The renowned sports apparel brand unveiled the uniquely designed shoes on the occasion of her beloved holiday, Halloween.

The company took to their official Instagram account to share the pictures of Gauff wearing the shoes on the court and captioned the pictures, “Last night’s look 👻 In honor of @cocogauff’s favorite holiday, we partnered with artist Travis E. Spinks to design a spooky look for her Halloween debut. Peep the one of a kind Coco CG1.”

They were a standard pair of black shoes with shimmering Red and Green beams emanating from them. Her entire outfit made an impression on the tennis court because she was wearing a jacket that matched her sneakers. Gauff, who is ranked number four in the world, donned those for her WTA Finals debut.

New Balance has produced branded sneakers for NBA stars like LeBron James and Michael Jordan besides the 18-year-old.

The world number four gave it her all to stay in the match, but Garcia won the match in straight sets. In her second match, she again tasted defeat.

On Sunday, she will take on Iga Swiatek in her third group stage match.
