Coco Gauff is a style superstar on and off the tennis court.
At just 20 years old, Gauff has won seven career singles titles, including the 2023 US Open, and nine career doubles titles, including the 2024 French Open. It is safe to say the athlete is currently on a career-high. Beyond her stellar tennis performance, Gauff is a major fixture of the footwear industry.
Gauff signed with New Balance at the age of 14 in 2018. In 2022, the athlete signed onto a long-term contract with the brand, a move which further solidified their union. The tennis star has released a multitude of signature tennis sneaker styles in partnership with the brand, most notably her Coco CG1, which marries style and performance perfectly. Gauff also released a slew of apparel with New Balance, including hoodies, graphic tees, windbreakers, jogger pants and fitted shorts.
When she’s not in New Balance, you can usually find the athlete in sandal heels in dressy metallics or fixed with clear PVC heels. Gauff’s style is one to watch, exploring a mix of sleek and sophisticated silhouettes, often with eye-catching touches that cement the star as an icon in her own right. In honor of Gauff’s fashionable footwear picks, FootwearNews is compiling some of her best shoe moments over the years.
