Adidas Taekwondo Ballerina 'Simone Rocha Black Better Scarlet' (Women's)

The adidas Taekwondo Ballerina Simone Rocha Black Better Scarlet (Women's) brings Simone Rocha’s decorative style to a slim adidas Originals silhouette. Rocha transforms the Three Stripes into ribbon lacing and adds pearl inspired and diamanté details at the toe. Core Black gives the design a dark foundation, while Better Scarlet introduces a sharper color accent.

This pair belongs to Rocha’s first adidas Originals collection, which reworked familiar sportswear shapes through her approach to materials and embellishment. On the Taekwondo Ballerina, the low profile form keeps the shoe close to its sporting roots, while the ribbons and ornament make the collaboration immediately recognizable. Those details give collectors a reason to look beyond the colorway: the construction itself shows how Rocha changed the original silhouette.
