Coco Gauff's line with New Balance continues to expand.

Up next in their growing rotation are two new Wimbledon-themed colorways that very much meet the Tenniscore mark. The Coco CG2 is the first in the lineup. Per the brand, it evolves and refines the court-ready performance and the distinctive features of the tennis phenom’s debut signature model. Designed in a mid-cut silhouette, the shoe offers a decidedly non-traditional look that stands out from the tennis pack, while a dual-density FuelCell midsole, equipped with a carbon fiber plate, provides comfort, a propulsive, energy-returning feeling, and essential stability in all areas of the game.

Additional features include woven tongue labels that have the 550-inspired signature Coco Gauff tennis ball logo and the brand's Ndurance outsole that includes hexagonal treads for multi-court traction. There's also the incorporation of an Energy Arc, which the brand says is designed to increase stored energy to deliver a higher amount of total energy returned. The retail price for the Coco CG2 is $159.99.

Up next is the New Balance Coco Delray, which is inspired by Gauff's hometown. According to the brand, the shoe performs on a range of surfaces and offers a unique combination of hard-wearing durability and the lightweight look and feel offered by a low-ankle collar and responsive FuelCell midsole. This, too, has an NDurance rubber outsole for superior durability, and a hexagonal tread outsole pattern designed to provide traction on a variety of court surface.

Plus, there's a nylon plate that provides torsional stability, and the synthetic upper is covered in film to protect against wear from toe-dragging motions. The silhouette includes a lightweight mesh design incorporated into the upper for breathability.

The shoes retail for $110.
