A collaboration between adidas and the massively popular anime series Dragon Ball Z was announced last month. Said to contain seven shoes representing seven dragon balls, the first images of the collab have started to leak online.


Since the announcement of the project in late December, information regarding which seven adidas silhouettes will make the cut has started to leak online. Today, leak account The Yeezy Mafia decided to throw their hat into the ring, debuting the entire collection. The pack will include the “Goku” ZX 500, “Vegeta” Ultra Tech, “Shenron” EQT ADV Primeknit, “Cell” Prophere, “Majin Buu” Kamanda, “Frieza” Yung-1, and “Gohan” Deerupt Runner. Each shoe is themed after an important character from the DBZ universe, and will come with a collectible figurine of each. The ZX 500 will be an updated version of the 1983 model, and include a full-length Boost midsole. The colorway features a mostly orange upper highlighted by blue stripes and tongue, as well as blue support inserts in midsole. The “Vegeta” Ultra Tech will feature a blacked out sole, white paneling, a yellow toe, and navy blue for the rest of the upper. The “Shenron” EQT is an updated version of the silhouette for 2018, and features a green and yellow Primeknit upper with red highlights. The Cell-themed Prophere features a deep green upper with purple accents, accompanied by an off-white midsole. Majin Buu’s Kamanda features a soft pink suede upper with purple laces and gold highlights, finished off by a bumpy black outsole. The all-new Yung-1 is decked in purple and white contrasting throughout the shoe, with pink accents to complete the Frieza execution. There are no full-sized images of the Gohan-themed Deerupt runner, another new Three Stripes silhouette, however a tiny image depicting an all-purple colorway can be seen below. The release schedule for the collection will supposedly span several months, and appears to be billed as fights between each character. The shoes will be very limited, though it remains to be seen what system adidas will use for this special release.

UPDATE 1/15/17: A completely surprising 8th sneaker has been revealed from the collection. Taking after Super Shenron, a character that only made it’s appearance in the manga, is another EQT ADV Primeknit. This version will feature a mostly black shoe with gold highlights in reference to the DBZ super dragon. This 8th shoe will release in December exclusively on the adidas website.
