Jennifer Lawrence Just Wore the Adidas It Trainers Everyone Is Calling "the Sambas of 2025"

If any brand knows how to make It trainers (affordable It trainers, I might add), it's adidas, and if any celebrity loves It trainers, it's Jennifer Lawrence. Sure, she may be one of many, but she clearly is fond of retro It trainers, and we report on it very regularly.
Speaking of adidas's knack for designing It trainers, the brand has made a habit of resurrecting styles from its extensive archives. Prior to 2023's Samba frenzy, you may remember the acute popularity of Stan Smiths and Superstars, but I don't know that any style has been more widely embraced than Sambas. With that kind of popularity comes fatigue, and people have been shopping for the next It trainers that aren't everywhere yet but are gaining buzz by the day. Lawrence appears to have heard the buzz.
While out in NYC this weekend, she was spotted wearing a pair of black adidas Taekwondo sneakers. The minimal slip-on style (it also comes in a lace-up version) was initially created for the Tokyo Olympics and is inspired by martial arts footwear. It's trending alongside adidas's Toyko and Japan sneakers, but now that the highly influential Lawrence is embracing the Taekwondo style, I predict that many orders are going to be placed for it, in particular. Keep scrolling to be one of those future adidas Taekwondo owners alongside Lawrence if you're so inclined.
