Yes, Miu Miu and New Balance’s new collection does include the super flat, super popular sneakers the duo has become renowned for. However, it also extends far beyond thin-soled footwear.
For the first time, this duo comprising fashion’s hottest label and an inimitable fixture in the sneakerverse, is expanding its range to include clothing. Or, more accurately, high-performance tennis gear.
Spot American tennis champion Coco Gauff on-court at her forthcoming tournaments (they will be in Rome, Berlin, and Cincinnati) and you’ll notice her sporting full ensembles by New Balance and Miu Miu.
Comprising a tight sports top and frilly classic tennis skirt, the color blocked designs will change with every tournament (starting with a red-accented outfit in Rome for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia).
On foot, will be an exclusive Miu Miu branded edition of Gauff’s signature New Balance sneaker, the Coco CG2. And off court, she has a new pair of 530 SL sneakers in a matching color-scheme.
Grey suede, black patent leather, and equally shiny silver and gold panels meet mesh underlays on a trio of new 530 SL colorways. The flattened dad shoe, one of 2024’s greatest footwear creations, gets its most expansive drop yet.
In fact, in all departments, this is Miu Miu and New Balance’s most expansive outing: The aforementioned tennis gear also comes with technical silk tracksuits for off-duty wear. All of this will be available to shop starting September 10 from Miu Miu stores.
Ahead of the European tennis season, we’ve already seen French fashion label A.P.C. serve-up an expansive gradient-printed on-court collection with ASICS, now another fashionable partnership emerges.
Sporting rivalries asside, the tennis season is hotting up on the fashion front.
