The adidas Taekwondo, the brand's effortlessly cool flat sneaker, has officially gone wild.

The thin-soled martial arts shoe emerges with scaly uppers, resulting in a wild, albeit fancy, take on Taekwondo.

But don't worry, these reptilian-textured sneakers don't bite. Even with its tough-looking "scales," the Taekwondo sneakers offer uber-soft interiors wrapped in buttery, padded leather.

The snakeskin Taekwondo sneakers come in stylish "Cream White" and "Trace Khaki" colorways, both now available on adidas' website for just $100.

The return of the Taekwondo sneaker has been quite stylish, with the model making waves in several trendy forms, including laceless versions, pairs with shoelaces, and even strapped-up ballet styles.

With snakeskin, the Taekwondo taps into its animal instincts, for the better.
