NEW BALANCE COCO’S COURT

COLLAB LAUNCH POP-UP - NYC

DESIGN SUPERVISION - CONCEPT & DEVELOPMENT - ON-SITE MANAGEMENT

Created to celebrate Coco Gauff’s return to the US Open and the launch of her latest collection with New Balance, Coco’s Court transformed retail into an immersive expression of the athlete’s world—both on and off the court. Following an exclusive opening event featuring a surprise performance by Jaden Smith, the activation welcomed fans and consumers for two days of interactive experiences designed to showcase Coco’s personality, passions, and evolution as one of tennis’ most influential stars.

Drawing inspiration directly from the collection’s footwear, the environment paired soft tan tones with light blue accents and vibrant hits of lemon yellow, creating a playful yet elevated interpretation of modern tennis culture. Slatted wood details, clay-inspired textures, and sculptural displays of white tennis racquets referenced the sport’s heritage, while contemporary merchandising solutions reimagined the traditional retail fixture. At the heart of the space, a dynamic hero product installation showcased the collection through an architectural lens, encouraging discovery while seamlessly integrating digital purchasing through QR-enabled shopping.

Every touchpoint was designed to deepen guests’ connection to Coco’s story. A tennis-inspired photo experience captured visitors in action-shot moments, while custom listening pods developed in partnership with Bose invited guests to explore Coco’s favorite pre-game playlist. Inspired by her passion for gaming and her avatar featured in TopSpin, a gaming zone brought fans into a court-inspired digital environment. A customization station offered personalized keepsakes, including embroidered tote bags and custom phone charms, creating memorable takeaways from the experience. Blending sport, culture, fashion, and technology, Coco’s Court delivered a vibrant and highly shareable destination that celebrated Coco’s journey while bringing the New Balance brand closer to its community.
