Not every fan of Coco Gauff is ready to pull off her signature high-performance New Balance Coco CG tennis sneaker. New Balance knows that. So, the Boston-based brand created the “Coco Delray,” a more inclusive addition to the New Balance world of Coco, offering a low-top model without all the bells and whistles found on the Coco CG line.
The new shoe, named after Gauff’s Delray Beach hometown and the courts she grew up playing on, is still court-ready, though, just in a more streamlined version. The carbon fiber shank of the CG gets replaced with TPU, but the outsole is the same and the shoe can hold up to the tennis court, all while being designed to make it more wearable off the court. The low-top upper is meant to fit the needs of more players but is still inspired by heritage basketball, as is the CG2 model.
Josh Wilder, New Balance footwear product manager for tennis, says the Coco Delray has a similar look to the CG and is still ready for tennis but offers “another way to bring more people into the fold” while being able to pull off a lifestyle aesthetic. Upcoming CG colorways will inform future iterations of the Delray. The Delray retails for $110 and releases today.
