The full Australian Open capsule
New Balance Coco Gauff Australian Open kit works as a complete capsule, not just a single match outfit. It was created with Coco for the first major of the season, so every piece is tuned to how she moves, plays, and presents herself on court.
At the same time, the brand frames the kit as a “love letter” to style and self‑expression, which pushes it beyond basic performance gear. For the first time, fans can buy a version of Coco’s custom AO look, so the line now connects pro‑level uniforms with everyday players and street‑style outfits.
On‑court look: tank, pleated skirt and bold colour
The on‑court part of New Balance Coco Gauff Australian Open kit centres on a perforated stretch tank and a pleated skirt with a slightly flirty hem. The tank uses breathable fabric and a close fit to support aggressive baseline play, while the skirt is cut to move cleanly with splits, slides, and quick recoveries.
Visually, the main story is colour. Hot Marigold, navy blue, and Daybreak Periwinkle are pulled from the Australian landscape and summer light, then dropped against the bright AO hard courts for maximum contrast. As a result, Coco’s kit reads instantly on broadcast, but still feels refined enough to work in still photography and post‑match media moments.
In terms of pricing, the tank and skirt sit in the middle of the collection’s ladder, inside the overall range of roughly $65–175 USD. This position makes the on‑court look premium yet reachable for players who want something more expressive than standard team uniforms.
Practice and walk‑on: full‑day tournament rotation
Beyond match play, New Balance Coco Gauff Australian Open kit includes a practice look and a walk‑on tracksuit, so Coco has a consistent visual identity from warm‑up to walk‑off. The practice set uses a cropped tee and shorts that prioritise airflow and freedom of movement, which is crucial in Melbourne’s heat.
Meanwhile, the walk‑on tracksuit is designed as a statement piece. It comes oversized and colour‑blocked, using the same Hot Marigold, navy, and periwinkle accents to echo the match kit without copying it exactly. Consequently, tunnel shots, arrival content, and bench moments all feed back into the same AO story without feeling repetitive.
Together, the three looks create a mini wardrobe that covers every part of a tournament day: arrivals, practice sessions, and centre‑court appearances. For fans, this structure also offers multiple entry points into the collection, from tees and shorts to more directional outerwear.
Footwear: low‑cut AO shoe in white, gum and summer accents
The footwear that anchors New Balance Coco Gauff Australian Open kit is the CG2. A low‑cut performance tennis shoe in crisp white with a gum outsole and layered side branding. On the lateral side, the “N” logo sits inside a soft, iridescent‑style outline that picks up subtle lavender and periwinkle tones, while the medial side uses a solid navy “N” for a cleaner read in motion.
From a design perspective, the shoe mirrors the apparel palette. Soft orange accents on the laces, tongue, and lining echo the Hot Marigold details from the tank and skirt, which brings the whole head‑to‑toe look together without overpowering the upper. Underfoot, the gum outsole and sculpted midsole give the pair a serious on‑court attitude, with enough edge to appeal to sneakerheads who care about both performance and aesthetics.
Functionally, the CG2 AO shoe is built for quick directional changes and hard‑court grip, which suits Coco’s explosive, lateral style of play. For consumers, it works as a true performance tennis model that can still slide into summer off‑court rotations thanks to its clean white base and warm, easy‑to‑style colour pops.
