The 90’s vibe shoe will be the first retail accessible tennis shoe with a carbon fiber plate, known as Energy Arc Technology. The combination of the plate and FuelCell foam gives way to a super responsive feel that is also light and comfortable, according to Gauff.

NB Coco CG1 Pays Respects to Her Parents
According to reports, Gauff was involved in the entire process, testing different prototypes from top to bottom and providing feedback for her debut shoes.
The rising tennis superstar decided to use her shoes to celebrate her future rather than the past, bringing inspiration from her parents along the way.
The signature shoe will feature a basketball on the left heel and a track spike on the right side to pay homage to her parent’s collegiate sports.
On the toe, the New Balance CG1s will also have a quote from her dad saying “You can change the world with your racket” while the left toe will mark the coordinates of Pompey Park, the place Gauff grew up playing tennis.
