As balletcore and flat-top sneakers continue to dominate women’s fashion trends, adidas has an answer — the Taekwondo Mei. The ballet-inspired silhouette has appeared in a few GR renditions since coming back late last year. Still, it will soon be subject to a collaborative effort with atmos Pink, the womens-focused label of atmos.
Previewed here by one of atmos Pink’s employees, who showcased early images of the upcoming atmos Pink x New Balance 740, this Taekwondo Mei keeps things simple with its black satin upper. Contrasting hits of white appear on the leather Three Stripes on the midfoot. At the same time, a large black ribbon is attached to the laceless tongue via an adidas-branded button.
Inside, the insole features a co-branded adidas and atmos Pink logo alongside a Designed in Japan tag. The flat sole unit underfoot comes in a black rubber finish to keep things tonal. Special packaging includes a satin bag with adidas and atmos Pink co-branding.
The atmos Pink x adidas Taekwondo Mei W will release April 10, 2025, through atmos Tokyo and adidas in select countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at ¥17,600 (approx $120).
