The adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Black White (Women’s) reinterprets the original Taekwondo Mei through a sleek, ballet-inspired flat silhouette. Blending influences from martial arts footwear and adidas archival designs, this model delivers a streamlined profile with a contemporary twist.
Constructed from supple leather, the upper pairs a Core Black base with crisp Cloud White detailing for sharp contrast. The toe area nods to adidas Y-3 design language, featuring a distinctive Y-shaped white overlay layered over the black upper. Signature Three Stripes appear in white along the side panels, while black adidas branding accents the white heel tab. Underfoot, a gum rubber outsole provides reliable traction and everyday comfort.
The lace system runs directly across the forefoot without a traditional tongue, allowing the laces to be wrapped around the ankle for a ballet-inspired finish reminiscent of pointe shoes. The true highlight of this silhouette lies in its fusion of adidas heritage flats and the disciplined strength of martial arts, resulting in a minimalist yet striking aesthetic.
The adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Black White (Women’s) released on March 15, 2025, with a retail price of $90.
