Cole Haan introduced the GrandPrø Tennis 2.0, the evolution of the court sneaker that launched the brand into the sneakers category a decade ago. Featuring the new FeatherFeel Cushioning Platform, GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 remains light in form and feeling, designed for the pace of modern life.
When Cole Haan launched the original GrandPrø Tennis in 2016, it reimagined the classic leather court sneaker with a radically lightweight build—reducing bulk while maximizing flexibility, rebound and all-day comfort. Paving the way for what has become the brand’s fastest-growing category, GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 carries forward that pared-back design approach: keeping everything you need and nothing you don’t.
“GrandPrø Tennis was a breakthrough for us 10 years ago. It proved that a classic court sneaker could be unbelievably light and comfortable without losing its style or substance,” said Scott Patt, chief creative officer at Cole Haan. “With GrandPrø Tennis 2.0, we’ve taken that idea even further. It’s more streamlined and engineered to feel unthinkably light and incredibly easy to wear.”
At the center of the update is the FeatherFeel Cushioning Platform, Cole Haan’s newest and lightest cushioning platform to date. By rebalancing foam density, refining construction and strategically removing unnecessary elements, the 360-degree design provides a lighter, energetic feel underfoot while providing the durability and dependable traction of a full rubber outsole.
“GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 was shaped by what we’ve heard from our customers over the years—they want comfort and style without compromise,” said Krissie Millan, chief marketing officer at Cole Haan. “GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 delivers on that. As we head into a new year, that’s exactly what this sneaker is designed to do: keep up and feel easy, so you’re ready for whatever comes next.”
To mark the 10-year milestone, the first drop of GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 debuts in classic white leather with green heel-tab detailing and limited-edition anniversary branding, followed by additional colorways in ivory, gold and black. The global launch campaign, “Feel Lighter Than Ever,” highlights the sneaker’s refined construction and everyday versatility.
