New Balance is prepping for the U.S. Open. The athletic brand has unveiled a footwear collection for the tennis tournament featuring Coco Gauff‘s CG2 signature sneaker and more court-ready styles slated for release on Friday.
New Balance CG2
Four sneakers are featured in the U.S. Open footwear collection, including an Urgent Red and Monarch Burgundy colorway of the CG2, a palette inspired by the tennis star’s burgundy kit and shoe worn when she earned her first Grand Slam in New York in 2023.
The CG2, Gauff’s second signature shoe with the brand, features a dual-density FuelCell midsole outfitted with a carbon fiber plate. Gauff, who won the French Open this year, will also be wearing a custom New Balance tennis kit at the U.S. Open.
New Balance Coco Delray men’s and women’s options.
Then there’s the Coco Delray, a tennis style crafted “for the everyday player,” whether beginner or advanced. The silhouette can deliver on a variety of surfaces and the style is meant to be a viable option on and off the court. The women’s colorway for the Coco Delray is called Bisque and Urgent Red while the men’s colorway is Bisque and Monarch Burgundy.
New Balance Fresh Foam X CT-Rally v2.
Two more styles round out the collection. The Fresh Foam X CT-Rally v2 will be introduced by Tommy Paul, Jordan Thompson and McCartney Kessler at the U.S. Open in a colorway called Sea Salt and Lime Leaf. The v2 refines the footwear style with a fresh outsole, midsole and upper in addition to upper mesh offering greater breathability, a bigger heel clip enhancing stability as well as an external shank underfoot providing extra torsional stability. The shoe will release in the Sea Salt and Lime Leaf colorway for women and Lime Leaf and Sea Salt for men.
Lastly, the FuelCell 996v6 will be showcased by Sorana Cirstea, hitting the court in a colorway called New Spruce and White. The shoes are crafted for speed, endurance and flexibility on the tennis court, improving the wearer’s game with advanced stability.
