The adidas Taekwondo, In Motion

We put the range of the stylish new it-shoe to the test.

When Ayo Edebiri and Gracie Abrams have both been spotted in a sneaker, you can best believe it’s on its way to it-shoe status. Such has been the case of the adidas Taekwondo. The martial arts-inspired silhouette seamlessly blends statement-making design with everyday practicality,  and has become a recent favourite of the celebrity style set and fashion insiders alike. 

Want to grab a pair for yourself but stuck as to how to style them? For this special project, Cosmopolitan Australia tapped a team of creative tastemakers to prove the Taekwondo’s range. Scroll on for inspiration for how to style them.
