Coco Gauff is continuing to rep Miu Miu and New Balance after her big win at the French Open on Saturday. Making an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday, the 21-year-old tennis star wore a plaid Miu Miu ensemble and had two pairs of shoes on hand to complement it — New Balance sneakers and strappy Miu Miu heels.
It was announced in April that Gauff has partnered with New Balance and Miu Miu to showcase collaborative tennis apparel by the brands in her tournaments. And she’s modeling off-court looks from the brands, too. For one of her “The Tonight Show” footwear looks, Gauff showcased the New Balance Abzorb 2000 in the “Still Water with Blue Agate” colorway, ahead of its scheduled release date on Thursday. Priced at $169.99, the futuristic sneaker features a full-length Abzorb sole unit combining Abzorb cushioning and Abzorb SBS pods. Gauff has been partnered with New Balance since 2018.
