The day Coco Gauff claimed her trophy as the 2023 U.S. Open champion, her Instagram post capturing the win was accompanied by the caption: \u201cconcrete jungle where dreams are made of\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Gauff made her dreams come true on the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium with her first Grand Slam win and this new \u201cqueen of Queens\u201d is capturing the attention of a nation \u2014 and the entire world.<\/p>\n

At age 19, Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three sets, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, making her the youngest American major winner since Serena Williams won her first in 1999.<\/p>\n

As a role model, champion, and fashion icon, Gauff\u2019s longstanding partnership with athletics company New Balance (since age 14) is cementing her status as a giant both on and off the court.<\/p>\n

Among her latest serves? In August, before the U.S. Open, she unveiled a new colorway \u2014 green contrasting with warm shades of red and brown \u2014 for her signature shoe, the Coco CG1 \u201cCity Brights,\u201d at her pop-up at the New Balance Flatiron Store.<\/p>\n

She also starred in a photoshoot for the New Balance T500 for Aim\u00e9 Leon Dore (ALD) campaign.<\/p>\n

New Balance and Aim\u00e9 Leon Dore collaborated to bring back the T500 model, a performance tennis shoe originally released in 1982. The newly introduced model is a low-profile court silhouette dressed in a clean white leather upper, lending itself to everyday wear.<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a shoe for the ages.<\/p>\n

The re-release of the 1982 retro tennis bring-back, the T500, initially debuted in a campaign with Gauff, nearly two weeks before her U.S. Open win.<\/p>\n

In an ALD campaign shot by Bronx native Renell Medrano (whose portfolio includes Kendrick Lamar, Venus and Serena Williams, Bad Bunny, Jay-Z, and Kendall Jenner), Gauff pairs each of the three T500 colorways with apparel from ALD\u2019s fall \/ winter 2023 collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to experiment with different styles and colors that speak to my personality,\u201d Gauff added.<\/p>\n

Her sneaker game wasn\u2019t the only thing shining bright during her U.S. performance: Gauff\u2019s poise and grit have solidified her as a role model for all ages.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope to inspire the next generation to reach for the stars and dream big, particularly women and girls,\u201d Gauff shares. \u201cI hope they will look in the mirror and think, \u2018wow, that could be me.\u2019 And I hope to just keep playing the game that I love for many more years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she\u2019s embracing all the positives and the negatives \u2014 and as she said in her post-win speech, \u201cthe negative comments add fuel to her fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI always push myself to be better and do better \u2014 any negativity fuels my competitive edge to prove people wrong,\u201d Gauff adds. \u201cIt\u2019s also important to have a strong support system in order to deal with negativity and noise. I would never be in this position without my family, my team and my partners. They all help me stay grounded and focused on achieving my goals, and never being afraid to chase big dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the topic of her support system, Gauff\u2019s father Corey wore a T-shirt that read \u201cImagine,\u201d while watching that monumental U.S. Open win: it serves as a powerful reminder to never lose sight of our dreams.<\/p>\n

Gauff\u2019s additional advice to the young girls, watching her play:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that age is just a number and your dreams are there to be chased, no matter how old you are. This victory means the world to me, and I hope it inspires others to chase their dreams with determination and passion. It can be hard to be resilient when going through tough stretches of play. I\u2019ve just tried to stay focused on my goals and continue working hard, every single point. When victories like these come, it\u2019s even more rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
