The adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Black White (Women's) is a ballet-inspired, flat silhouette that pulled design cues from the original Taekwondo Mei silhouette from adidas.
Crafted from soft leather, this black and white women's Taekwondo Mei Ballet combines heritage design and modern aesthetics. The front toe area pulls design inspiration from the adidas Y-3 model, with a cloud white Y-type overlay that sits on top of the core black upper. Three white stripes are on the side panels, while black adidas branding sits on the white heel. A durable gum rubber outsole equates to comfortable traction. The shoes lace up directly on the forefoot without a tongue and can be tied around the ankle if desired to resemble ballet pointe shoes.
What do we think is this shoe’s standout feature? We’d have to say it’s that this silhouette draws inspiration from adidas' archival flats and the dynamic strength of martial arts, resulting in a minimalist style with an edge. The adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Black White (Women's) debuted on March 15, 2025, with a retail price of $90.
