Low-cut shoes with roots on the mat.

You might not be able to place the inspiration at first when you look at these adidas shoes. Though, yes, the name does give it away, but we're talking appearance. But then you take in the low-profile and the way it hugs the foot, plus the laceless slip-on design — and the cues from an archival Taekwondo trainer from the early 2000s become absolutely clear. The smooth upper is emphasised with curved stitched details, bringing a sense of fluidity to the overall look.
