The New Balance Coco CG2 “Roland Garros” is Coco Gauff’s second signature tennis shoe in a Paris-inspired makeover, dressed in soft grey suede with a cream midsole and a pale pink outsole for the 2026 French Open. Gauff laced up the muted colorway for her opening match on the Roland Garros clay, pairing it with a custom New Balance kit built around the same elegant palette.
The drop lands during New Balance’s annual Grey Days, the month-long May celebration of the grey tones the brand has leaned on since its 1980s running heyday. It marks the second straight year Gauff has carried Grey Days onto a Grand Slam court, and this time the look leans fully into Paris rather than a loud tournament graphic. New Balance built the whole release around her, from the shoe to the apparel, extending a signature line that started with the original Coco CG1 in 2022.

The “Roland Garros” Coco CG2 Design
Grey suede covers most of the upper, layered over a cream mesh base and finished with a mirrored silver “N” outlined in darker grey. A grey webbing strap wraps the heel for lockdown, while the textured triangular toe guard adds clay-court durability up front. New Balance keeps a small croissant graphic on the tongue tag, a quiet nod to Paris that sits beside the embroidered Coco Gauff signature. “Power” and “Grace” details carry over from past Coco models on the collar and woven labels.
Underfoot, the CG2 runs a dual-density FuelCell midsole capped in cream, with an Energy Arc propulsion plate tuned for quick baseline recovery. The translucent outsole shows off a maze-like tread pattern and reads in a pale pink that wraps the perimeter, tying the tooling back to the soft top half. This is a women’s release, and the restraint in the color story is the point: nothing here shouts, which is exactly how Gauff wanted her Paris shoe to read.
Will the New Balance Coco CG2 “Roland Garros” Release at Retail?
Yes. The New Balance Coco CG2 “Roland Garros” is a retail release, available in women’s sizing for $160 at New Balance and select retailers in stores and online. The same colorway Gauff wore on court is the one hitting shelves, so the on-court pair and the retail pair are one and the same.

Coco Gauff’s Custom Roland Garros Kit
The sneaker headlines a full New Balance setup for Gauff’s title defense. Her custom kit pairs a lilac and grey tennis dress, built with a pleated mesh skirt and pink accents, with a matching pink headband, cream wristbands, and ruffled socks. “As everyone knows, Paris is my favorite city, and this kit captures everything I love about it: elegance and sophistication with a little bit of edge,” Gauff said of the look. The reigning French Open champion returns to Roland Garros chasing back-to-back titles, and JustFreshKicks expects plenty of eyes on her footwear over the fortnight.
