adidas‑Pokémon 30th anniversary sneakers

Entities: Pikachu · Gengar · The Pokémon Company · Charizard · Rayquaza

Overview

adidas Originals and The Pokémon Company announced a limited‑edition sneaker line to celebrate Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. The collection, slated for a September 2026 launch, reimagines classic adidas silhouettes—including Superstar, Samba, ZX 8000, Adistar, and F50—with Pokémon‑specific details such as character artwork on tongue tags, molded horns, wing‑shaped laces, custom insoles and, in some models, removable leather wings.

Twelve models feature a range of Pokémon, from Pikachu and Charizard to Gengar, Mewtwo, Rayquaza and the full Charmander evolution line. The shoes are positioned as collector‑focused pieces and will initially be available at select retailers in the fall of 2026.
