New Balance releases Coco Gauff "inspired" training shoe

Coco Gauff signed with New Balance when she was just 14-years-old. Just a little over two years later, she's starring in the major brand's latest advertisement, but that's not all. The world No. 21 also has new tennis shoes "inspired" by her.

According to New Balance, the "FuelCell Shift TR is built for high-intensity and agility training." It's a shoe created for the dedicated, which Gauff certainly knows a thing or two about. The social ad highlights the 17-year-old putting in work with a cone circuit and donning an all-black New Balance outfit, which included a slick pair of form-fitting cross V waist leggings.

As for Gauff's special pair of training shoes that she helped design, they have an energetic purple/pink colorblock and promise a comfortable ride through the most high-intensity workouts. "The innovative women's training shoes also feature a state-of-the-art FitWeave Lite upper with no-sew overlays for a lightweight feel that delivers a supportive, locked-in fit," the brand says.

Gauff's inspired shoe is priced at $99.99, but they are currently only available in North America. Fans can also find the high-rise leggings and the "pace bra" online.

On the court, Gauff has remained solid ever since she shook things up at Wimbledon in 2019. In 2021, she reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros and claimed her second-career title at the Emilia-Romagna Open. She will look to build on her success in 2022, starting in Australia.
