Adidas Taekwondo Mei Elite Black White Gum — From the Mat to the Streets
The adidas Taekwondo debuted in the early 2000s and was designed exclusively for training in the sport. The original version, then called SMII, was developed around very specific requirements: it had to be lightweight and supportive without sacrificing flexibility, with a stitched upper for cushioning and reinforcement, a thin sole for balance and precision, and traction that preserved the barefoot feel. adidas was one of the first major brands to enter taekwondo after the sport took the world stage at the 1988 Seoul Games. The Black White Gum is its cleanest interpretation.
The Taekwondo Mei Elite — Minimal Profile and Gum Sole
The silhouette is one of the flattest and narrowest in the adidas catalog, with an almost gym-shoe design and very little visual structure. In this colorway, black covers the body, white highlights the three stripes and details, and the gum sole completes the look while adding warmth and traction.
Materials and Technology
- Upper: Black textile and synthetic materials with reinforcement stitching and white three stripes
- Interior: Lightweight construction with stitched cushioning; a wide opening and flexible fit inherited from martial arts training
- Sole: Thin gum rubber sole designed for traction and a barefoot feel
