New Balance, as a brand, claims to be closely associated with quality and comfort in the world of sports shoes. This shoe reflects a sense of playfulness and dynamism, which is very much characteristic of Coco Gauff’s style on the court. It is also enhanced by the incorporation of the FuelCell midsole cushioning and Energy Arc technology. These features will provide her comfort and offer her dynamic responsiveness for the quick and sudden movements often attached to the racket sport.

According to Harry Champion, New Balance tennis product manager, Coco Gauff became involved throughout the entire design process. How did Coco Gauff feel after working with New Balance?

The entire team at New Balance, from design to marketing, truly cares about me as a person and not just an athlete and that relationship allowed us to create the Coco CG1,” Gauff.

When asked about the snippet on her CG1 shoes, she said, “One is, ‘You can change the world with your racquet’. That is something that my dad has told me since I was a little girl and is an inspiration.

While another such scribble showed the coordination to Pompeli Park. For those unaware, that’s the public tennis courts where she grew up playing. It also had her little brothers, Cody’s and Cameron’s, name written on it.

She says these writings help her keep perspective when the emotions become too excessive during a match. Have you ever noticed these writings on her shoes?
