Andrew Rizzo The #bootsonlysummer movement may be in the rear view, but the adidas silhouettes that were born alongside the trend are only just getting started. One of the more eyebrow raising models to emerge from the viral moment was the adidas Taekwondo F50, a bold hybrid that pairs the shape of the martial arts model with the materials and visual language of the F50 soccer cleat. Several styles are set to arrive in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including this special make-up called “Selene” dropping at Concepts this weekend.
The model’s boot-inspired synthetic outer shell here takes on a feminine pairing of light violet and yellow, echoed in the campaign imagery by crystals and passion fruit placed alongside the shoes. The sneaker centers around the theme “Her Time, Her Touch,” a nod to women who are constantly refining and redefining what excellence looks like.
To celebrate the launch, CNCPTS is hosting a block party outside its Boston flagship on November 22nd from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET, featuring music, local female owned vendors, and more. The adidas Taekwondo F50 “Selene” releases the same day through Concepts stores and cncpts.com. Women’s sizes will be available for $120.
