Founded in 1906 by English immigrant William J. Riley, New Balance is one of America’s oldest sportswear manufacturers, respected around the world for its commitment to quality and comfort.
Taking advantage of their unrivalled experience in running shoes, the Boston-based brand made their name in tennis during the sport’s boom in popularity in the 80s. Their “CT” range – developed in collaboration with Aussie great Roy Emerson – riffed on the successful designs they’d created for athletics, equipping sturdy yet lightweight uppers with cushioning midsoles and stabilising outsoles. All available in a range of widths, as is the NB way.
They use the same principle today, utilising running-shoe tech such as FuelCell and Fresh Foam to give their tennis footwear a huge advantage on the court. From fast, low-ride shoes like the 996 and 796 to the more stability-focused CT Rally and Coco Gauff’s signature COCO, there are options for every type of player, whatever your level.

New Balance
All Court
All court tennis shoes are designed to perform across a variety of court surfaces, making them versatile footwear options for tennis players. These shoes feature an outsole with a universal tread pattern to provide the right balance of grip and give on both hard and clay courts, and even grass. Additionally, they often have reinforced toe caps for added durability, considering the high-wear nature of tennis. Cushioning and stability are prioritised to support swift lateral movements and quick pivots. All court tennis shoes are ideal for players who play on different surfaces or for those who prefer a multi-purpose tennis shoe.
