This adidas Chocolatey Delight Is Bringing Some Weight to the Ballet Trend
Few sneakers scream September quite like a brown suede pair. There’s something about that rich, earthy hue that just feels right once the temperatures start to drop.
Thankfully, adidas’ Taekwondo Mei Elite has just landed in Aurora Coffee, giving the low-profile silhouette a particularly fall-friendly makeover.
The Taekwondo Mei Elite is already a familiar shape, but this new colorway gives it a whole other feel. The deep brown upper, paired with that classic gum sole, makes for a combination that feels equal parts retro and grown-up, while the slim profile keeps it from getting too serious. The asymmetric lacing and split sole add just enough going on to keep things interesting.
If you’ve been eyeing the ballet-sneaker trend but aren’t quite ready to commit to something ultra-delicate, this feels like an easy entry point. Throw them on with some loose denim, a chunky knit and whatever jacket you’ve been waiting all summer to wear again, and Bob’s your uncle.
We’ve all heard that brown rules this season. Add suede to the mix, and suddenly it all makes perfect sense.
The Taekwondo Mei Elite in Aurora Coffee is now available on adidas’ website for $110.
