Coco Gauff is back in Paris to defend her title. The reigning Roland Garros champion is back in France with a repeat on her mind and new fashion in her closet. The focal point of the New Balance tennis program, Gauff has been known to tie new colorways of her kit and signature shoe to each tournament, and this month’s French Open is no different.
Coco’s Croissants
The New Balance Coco CG2 Roland Garros combines a greyish purple upper with pale pink on the outsole and a custom Coco croissant graphic on the tongue tag for some tournament-specific detail. Of course, it's not all about the shoes, and Coco’s custom Roland Garros fit features two tennis dresses in purple and black, with a pink headband that matches the shoe’s outsole.
“As everyone knows, Paris is my favorite city, and this kit captures everything I love about it — elegance and sophistication with a little bit of edge,” Gauff said. “Returning to Paris after winning here last year is really special. We wanted to create something that lets me feel confident, while honoring the fashion and culture that makes the city so iconic."
