Coco Gauff and New Balance Launch Accessible 'Coco Delray' Tennis Shoe

The new sneaker celebrates Gauff's Delray Beach roots while promoting inclusivity in tennis through a more affordable, versatile design.

  • The 'Coco Delray' tennis shoe, launched on Coco Gauff's 21st birthday, is priced at $110 and aims to make tennis more accessible to players of all levels.
  • The shoe’s design is inspired by Gauff’s hometown of Delray Beach, Florida, and the public courts at Pompey Park where she trained as a child.
  • Featuring a low-top silhouette, lightweight FuelCell midsole, and durable rubber outsole, the sneaker blends performance with off-court style influenced by 90s tennis and basketball aesthetics.
  • A marketing campaign highlights Gauff’s community ties, including a video featuring her grandmother, Yvonne Lee Odom, emphasizing the role of family and local support in her journey.
  • New Balance plans to release additional colorways of the Coco Delray throughout the year, alongside Gauff’s higher-end CG2 signature model, to cater to both recreational and competitive players.
