The adidas Taekwondo Mei “Core Black” steps in with sharp confidence and stripped-back detail. Originally crafted as a low-profile training shoe for women, this pair now lands firmly in the streetwear spotlight. Fans of Jennie Kim or Bad Bunny might already recognise the silhouette—it’s subtle but loaded with presence.
Crafted from soft leather, the upper feels premium and smooth. It features minimal stitching and a streamlined toe box, keeping the shape clean. Instead of traditional laces, adidas opts for a shrouded tongue that lets the upper flow uninterrupted. Serrated 3-Stripes slice across the sidewalls and wrap underneath the shoe, visible through the split rubber sole.
The form is lightweight, flexible, and low to the ground—ideal for everyday wear or dressing up with wide-leg trousers and oversized pieces. If you’ve seen the Taekwondo Mei in past collaborations, you’ll know how versatile this shoe can be. But in “Core Black”, it delivers a timeless option for those who prefer quiet confidence over loud branding.
This isn’t just a revival—it’s a reintroduction. adidas once designed this shoe for performance. Now it carries a new purpose: understated energy, worn with intention. Keep an eye out—this pair could disappear fast.
