Product Insights
Cole Haan's Grandprø Tennis 2.0 reimagines the original for its 10th anniversary with a limited white-and-green colorway, offering FeatherFeel cushioning that mimics a running shoe's comfort without a break-in period and at roughly half the weight of the Nike Air Force 1. Its genuine leather upper outclasses the Crosscourt model and ages gracefully, while split gum-rubber pods improve wet-surface grip. Priced $90–$210 below comparable white-leather sneakers (and saleable to $70 USD), it delivers premium style and celebrity-approved cachet. However, the cushioning compresses after 6–12 months, the padded footbed lacks pronounced arch support, and this edition refines rather than reinvents the design.

User recommends Grandpro Tennis Sneakers for comfort and style
Just wanted to point out that they also have the "Tennis" version which has a thinner sole (here: https://www.colehaan.com/womens-grandpro-tennis-sneakers/W02897.html). Been my go to for a while, I've gotten lots of compliments on them over the years (I even bought a second pair) and sooooo comfy.

Redditor advises to avoid Crosscourt and opt for GrandPrø Tennis Sneakers
Don't get the Crosscourt. It's basically the outlet version of the Cole Haan GrandPrø Tennis Sneakers. The GrandPrø can be found on sale a lot and the leather doesn't feel cheap like the leather on the Crosscourt. Right now they're actually on sale at Nordstrom. Might still be a bit to much for a sneaker. If you can wait a bit, you can probably find then even cheaper. I got the all white pair for $70.
