Stella McCartney works in collaboration with adidas on two new tonal iterations of the Taekwondo shoe. It comes in a Semi Impact Orange and an Almond Milk colorway. The sneaker draws elements from both ballet and martial arts with a sleek slip-on silhouette with a low profile.
It is made from adidas' Primeknit material and it boasts a sock-like fit that has a lightweight feel for comfort and breathability. The upper has a streamlined design with accents of a jagged TPU overlay. Almond Milk is a neutral palette with a creamy tone and Semi Impact Orange is brighter for those who want to make a bold fashion statement. Both of these are vegan and made with at least 20% recycled materials.
