New Balance has unveiled its latest shoe drop, “Star Studded,” designed for Coco Gauff as she prepares for her first participation in the Olympic Games. The highest-ranked American player is set to make her Olympic debut in Paris, showcasing her signature Coco CG1 shoe model.
Initially, Gauff made the Olympic team for Tokyo in 2021 at just 17 years old. However, she had to withdraw just days before the opening ceremony after testing positive for COVID-19. Now, with her new Coco CG1 shoes, she is ready to shine on the Olympic stage.
The latest iteration of Coco’s iconic high-rise shoe proudly features the colors of the American flag. The shoe is predominantly red, with blue star-studded patterns inside and on the outsole. The red and white stripes of the American flag are creatively incorporated into the lace loops. True to the Coco CG1 design, the shoe includes unique graphics, logos, and lace jewel details inspired by Coco Gauff herself.
Loaded with advanced technology, these shoes are perfect for players seeking ultimate support, speed and powerful performance. FuelCell foam delivers a propulsive feel, propelling you forward with every step. Energy Arc technology pairs sport-specific carbon fiber plate geometry with strategic midsole voids, designed to increase stored energy and deliver a higher amount of total energy return. The visible saddle gore band ensures stability during lateral movements. For enhanced durability, the NDure toe guard and NDurance rubber outsole technology protect high-wear areas, making these shoes a reliable choice for intense gameplay.
The New Balance Coco CG1 sneaker is designed to be worn by both women and men. For the best fit, women are recommended to size down by a full size and a half, as sizes are listed in men’s numbers. This “Star Studded” colorway is available exclusively in North America.
