Even ballerina toes deserve some fresh air. Thanks to adidas' latest Taekwondo Ballet sneaker, the dogs can finally breathe.

The sportswear brand has essentially woven a new breathable leather upper for the Taekwondo Mei, creating a "basketweave" iteration of the ballet-inspired sneaker.

As a result, adidas has made the most unbe-weave-able ballet stepper yet.

Aside from the new summery vibe, the Taekwondo Mei preserves most of its signature details, down to the ballet-style lace system and ultra-flat soles.

It's just now ready for those warmer days ahead. Speaking of which, the woven Taekwondo Mei shoes are expected to drop in the spring on adidas' website.

And it won't be the only adidas sneaker welcoming a fresh breeze to the feet. The brand has prepared an entire "basketweave" collection, which also includes two Sambas and a Stan Smith Lo.
