You’ve heard the hype, now get to know. We’re calling it – the adidas Originals SL 72 and Taekwondo are two of the hottest silhouettes this season.
Rooted in the archives and adidas’ sportswear heritage, these two trainers are piping hot right now.
Searching for some style inspo? Here’s how some of our fave creators are lacing up in the 3-Stripes.
Back From The Archives
Each of these sneaks take cues from their respective sports – the SL 72 was engineered for track running back in the ‘70s. Officially introduced in 1972, the SL 72 is a super-sleek look that’s back in the running to take your rotation up a level.
The Taekwondo silhouette debuted on the feet of martial arts athletes in the ‘80s, and was traditionally worn for training. Now, this low-profile look is revived for the streets, delivering an effortlessly cool energy every time. Landing in both lace-up and slip-on designs, these new-in sneakers are an essential addition to your collection.
How To Style: SL 72
Engineered with signature adidas attitude, the SL 72 makes a statement. Ryhanna (@ryhannaparara13) opts for a JD-exclusive neutral colourway, spotted in Wonder Beige. She’s matched her pair with tonal track pants for a sporty vibe.
Whatever colourway you choose, we love these kicks with baggy jeans or midi skirts, topped with layers on layers for the colder weather.
How To Style: Taekwondo
As an up-and-comer on the sneaker scene, adidas’ Taekwondo is the ultimate cool-girl trainer. With an ultra-sleek, low-profile silhouette, these treads look good dressed up with tailored cuts, and dressed down with track pants.
As seen on Nicole (@nicolerusssel), she’s got the best of both – styling OG adidas track pants and switching up her look with a classic blazer or a trending barn jacket.
👈 as seen on Olivia Hirst
As for Olivia (@_olhirst_), she’s chosen a ruffled skirt to offset the sports-inspired edge of her Takewondo sneaks and adidas Originals track top, the perf balance of two different styles.
