adidas will turn any sneaker into a ballet shoe if you're not looking. It's already done so with the Samba, Tokyo, and Anfu. Now, the Grand Court Lo is getting a Mary Jane makeover.

But before we dive into the ballerina era, let's go back to the OG. The Grand Court Lo sneaker started off as a super-slim tennis-inspired sneaker with flat rubber soles. It's honestly like the Toyko if the model played tennis.

The Grand Court's Mary Jane spin-off keeps the signature slender, low-soled construction, but swaps the laces for the classic midfoot strap.

adidas' new balletcore hybrids also feature more luxe and flexible leather uppers, plus smooth suede accents. There's also a convenient heel tab to complement their new slip-on personality.

The Grand Court Lo Mary Jane sneaker debuted in a classic black/white colorway. It's available on adidas UK's website for £60, or around $79. Hopefully, more color schemes are on the way.

Sure, the adidas collection is already booming with several other ballet sneakers. But since the brand's so good at making them, one more really can't hurt.
