New Balance and Miu Miu have extended their collaborative partnership with tennis star Coco Gauff by launching a new all-white on-court collection and campaign film that captures her dynamic presence.
The latest luxury-inspired all-white on-court collection includes garments crafted from technical stretch jersey. The silhouettes feature clean and minimal lines with lingerie-inspired scalloped edging along necklines and seams, along with navy piping for a sportswear accent. Pleated skirts incorporate discreet splits and open-back designs for both movement and lightness. Outerwear is developed in Silk Tec — a lightweight, breathable fabric that provides protection and structure. The accompanying 530 SL tennis sneakers, on the other hand, debut in a new leather version with asymmetrically colored woven laces that add a playful, spontaneous touch. The capsule also boasts caps and headbands.
