Coco Gauff Releases New Balance “Fuzzy Ace” Shoes

It looks like our favourite teenage tennis sensation, Coco Gauff, is making a bold fashion statement with her new off-court sneaker design! The 19-year-old has dropped a new pair of Coco CG1 sneakers with New Balance. This pair is Coco’s first pair of off-court shoes. The neon yellow ‘Fuzzy Ace’ shoes are designed to look like tennis balls, how fitting.

But let’s be real, Coco is always one to watch when it comes to style. On the court, she’s known for her sleek, athletic ensembles that are as functional as they are fashionable. Off the court, she’s just as impressive, often sporting trendy, street-style looks that are both youthful and chic.

Coco’s foray into fashion is not surprising, given her style both on and off the court. Her ‘Fuzzy Ace’ sneakers are not just another celebrity collaboration, they are a true reflection of Coco’s style and personality. Coco has always been immersed in fashion and has expressed her desire to pursue a career in the industry, even beyond tennis.

Coco CG1 Fuzzy Ace Sneakers

When it comes to tennis, New Balance is no stranger to the game. They’ve sponsored some of the biggest names in tennis, including Milos Raonic, Heather Watson, and of course, Coco Gauff.

Now, you may be thinking, “New Balance? Isn’t that the brand that your dad wears for his morning jogs?” But let me tell you, my dear friends, New Balance is much more than that. New Balance has seen a massive revival in recent years with their New Balance 550 sneakers constantly selling out. So, it’s only fitting a fashionista like Coco collaborate with New Balance.

Now, this isn’t her first collaboration with her sponsor New Balance. But it is the first pair of sneakers that are designed to be worn off-court. So, let’s look at the details!

The Details

After releasing her performance shoe in the summer of 2022, Coco wanted to release a more lifestyle type of shoe. The Coco CG1, also known as the “Fuzzy Ace”, is that shoe. This sneaker is all about standing out, featuring a yellow tennis ball colour, and hairy suede throughout. Serving major 90s vibes, these sneakers turn heads off the court. Don’t worry, they still feature the classic Coco signature on the tongue which can be found on all of her New Balance collabs.

The “Fuzzy Ace” shoes are unisex and offered in women’s sizes 5.5-16.5 and men’s sizes 4-15. They were officially dropped on Mach 31st during the Miami Open, how fitting! They retail for $169.99 USD and they are selling out fast. So, if you’re a Coco fan, or maybe just a fellow fashionista, we do not recommend sleeping on these!

So, what’s next for this rising star? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – Coco Gauff is here to stay, both on and off the court. And with her impeccable sense of style, I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing a lot more fashion collaborations from her in the future!
