The adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet White Black is a flat silhouette that channels a ballet aesthetic while pulling design elements from adidas’ original Taekwondo Mei silhouette. Crafted from soft leather, this Taekwondo Mei Ballet combines heritage design and modern aesthetics. A core black Y-type overlay adorns the front toe area, reminiscent of the adidas Y-3 model. The cloud white upper is made of leather and features three iconic core black stripes on the sides, with white adidas adding contrast on the black heel overlay. Everything is balanced out with a gum toned rubber outsole. Resembling ballet pointe shoes, there isn’t a tongue and the shoes lace crisscross atop the forefoot, additionally tying around the ankle. This shoe’s standout feature is its combination of the dynamic strength of martial arts and inspiration from adidas' archival flats, resulting in an edgy, minimalist design.
