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.

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?
