Taekwondo Mei Ballet

adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet sits somewhere between studio and street. The low-profile silhouette nods to martial arts footwear, reworked with a ballet-like softness and clean lines. In the Auco/Ftwwht/Gum2 colorway, smooth leather is paired with understated suede touches, giving a flexible feel that still holds its shape around the foot.

The slip-on, tongue-free construction keeps the upper sleek, while laces add structure across the midfoot once tied. Three different lace sets – varying in length and material – open up styling options, from minimal to more wrapped looks. Inside, a leather lining keeps things comfortable against the skin, and underfoot, a gum rubber outsole keeps the profile light while adding everyday grip. Finished with leather 3-Stripes and a small heel tab that references adidas archive training shoes, Taekwondo Mei Ballet works easily with relaxed trousers, skirts or dresses for a quiet, considered look.
