The adidas Taekwondo silhouette, a product of rigorous design, first emerged during the 1988 Seoul Olympics. It was born from the necessity to equip martial artists with superior footwear. This iteration, a testament to its enduring legacy, has been reimagined for contemporary style.
Initially engineered for the demands of Taekwondo, the shoe has transcended its original purpose. It is now a coveted item in the fashion world, seamlessly blending athletic heritage with modern street style. The design's lightweight profile and minimal cushioning enhance its appeal.
Jennifer Lawrence, spotted in New York, NY, during an early May 2025 street style outing, has been seen wearing this design. The adidas Taekwondo has also been embraced by Iris Law, who sported the design in a red carpet appearance. This iteration, a successor to the Samba, is quickly becoming a must-have item in the fashion landscape.
The 'Shale Corsage' variant boasts an ultra low-profile design, exuding sleekness with its fitted upper. Premium shale grey suede and nubuck overlays define the aesthetic. The design includes a breathable mesh tongue and a gum-colored rubber outsole designed for flexible movement.
