Adidas Originals Taekwondo slip-on shoes

The Adidas Taekwondo shoe is a specialized slip-on athletic shoe designed originally for martial arts but often repurposed as a lifestyle fashion item under the Adidas Originals line. These shoes feature a distinctive slim profile and rubber outsole meant for precision and floor grip.

Adidas was founded in Germany by Adolf Dassler in 1949, following a split from his brother Rudolf (who founded Puma). The brand has grown to be the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and the second-largest in the world. Manufacturing for Adidas footwear is global, occurring primarily in countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and China.

The global headquarters for the ultimate owner, Adidas AG, remains in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The company operates as a publicly traded entity listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, managing a vast portfolio of sporting apparel, accessories, and equipment world-wide.
