In 2018, adidas combined Dragon Ball Z, an anime series, with many of their popular models. It looks like the brand does not plan to stop the production of TV series collaborations as an adidas x Pokémon line seems to already be in the works.


Last year, the Dragon Ball Z collection was a huge hit for the brand with the three stripes. The series allowed many adidas fans to receive bright new meaningful colorways of their favorite models as well as introduce some of the TV shows’ fans to the brand for the first time. It must have been a great success for the adidas team, as they are set to release a Pokémon line next.

As official images have not been released yet, we got leaks of two different shoes. They both look to take on the classic leather adidas low top and are individually highlighted by different characters. The first model hosts the star of the show, Pikachu. The creature can be seen in a subtle all over print pattern across the entire shoe in many different moods. The brands iconic three stripes can be seen on the lateral portion of the sneaker in all white, while on the medial portion, their logo is replaced with a bright yellow embroidered Pikachu patch. Furthermore, the tongue tag has both brands’ logos and matches the red highlights on Pikachu’s cheeks.

The second shoe houses the character Squirtle. Again, the whole upper contains an all over print pattern that displays the creature in many different emotions. Branding distribution looks to keep the same design as the first but this time the medial portion of the sneaker is taken over by a blue Squirtle embroidered patch. To match, the tongue tag is slated in blue as well. Seeing that many individual Dragon Ball Z characters got their own shoe last year, look for this Pokémon line to see many different editions of the shows’ cast. If the collaboration is confirmed, we’ll see how many Pokemon and sneaker fans are able to “catch them all.”
