SPRING COURT

From the clay courts of the French Open to the city streets, Spring Court has lived through massive societal change, carrying the dreams of several generations. However, the iconic white canvas G2 is a constant presence, unchanged over almost 90 years of history. Genderless, understated and durable, it has established itself as a true classic while keeping pace with the times.
In 1936 a tennis enthusiast with a background in the rubber industry, Georges Grimmeisen, decided to create a pair of ventilated shoes, made from cotton canvas and vulcanised rubber, perfectly suited to clay courts. The G2 was born and soon on the feet of many aspiring players including Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg and Ilie Nastase.
During the 1960s the prevalent taste for counter culture meant many looked outside of the norm for what to wear. Footwear intended for sport became more common on the outliers, the ones who wanted more and to experss themselves in any way they could. During this period the G2 could be found on the feet of John Lennon, David Hockney and Jane Birkin amongst many others. Throughout the years since the G2 has become the go to for like minded people, stars in their era and the less famous wear them for their origin story as much as how damn good they still look.
