Release Date: Fall 2025
Where to Buy: adidas
adidas continues to iterate on its retro fusion model, the Taekwondo F50, with a new pared-back “Silver Metallic leather variant — a versatile companion to the shoe’s candy-hued colorways. Furthering the brand’s push for a season defined by football aesthetics, the hybrid sneaker is a combination of the 2006-born F50 field boot and Y2k-era Taekwondo martial arts trainer.
The Taekwondo F50 forgoes the original Taekwondo’s three-strip overlays for a smooth upper reminiscent of the OG F50, featuring sporty metallic decals. With the adidas wordmark isolated to the heel tab, insole, and outsoles, the model is tastefully discreet in its logo applications. Though named “Silver Metallic,” the colorway is grounded in a black leather upper — an ideal canvas for the lightweight metallic prints.
The wrap-style closure, signature to the Taekwondo shoe, is both futuristic and rooted in traditional inspirations. The functional simplicity lends itself to the forward-thinking considerations of modern design while also touching on Taekwondo’s ancient Korean origins. A visual thread runs through the martial arts’ robe-like uniforms and the silhouettes’ convenient wrap closure.
While an official release date has yet to surface for the “Silver Metallic” colorway, the shoe is expected to drop soon in Fall 2025 via adidas.
