Over the past few years, especially, Pok\u00e9mon has been a hot topic with a new mobile game and high-value cards to find in booster sets. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"info-target-blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/05\/22\/pokemon-cards-crypto-market-resale-logan-paul.html\">Packs are flying off the shelves<\/a> with buyers hoping to get their hands on a card with crazy value. In other words, Pok\u00e9mon has still got it. To celebrate the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"info-target-blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/pokemon-30th-anniversary-character-logos\/\">company\u2019s 30th anniversary<\/a>, Pok\u00e9mon is partnering with Adidas to bring some brand new Pok\u00e9mon kicks <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"info-target-blank\" href=\"https:\/\/houseofheat.co\/adidas\/pokemon-30th-anniversary-adidas-originals-collection\">inspired by the characters<\/a>. From Pikachu (obviously) to Gengar, one of your favorites is bound to be represented.<\/p>\n<p><img width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Untitled-design-45.webp\"  class=\"wp-image-1099462\" alt=\"Product images for the Pokemon x Adidas collab, featuring all twelve designs.\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"high\"\/>Pok\u00e9mon \/ Adidas \/ Nintendo<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph ignore\">The collection features a variety of Pok\u00e9mon. Of course, Pikachu steals the spotlight with three pairs of Adidas Superstars. However, Charmander, Charizard, Gengar, and Mewtwo, among a handful of others, also make an appearance. And this is just the 12 pairs the company has revealed thus far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collection spans various styles of Adidas shoes, from Superstars to Megaride F50s. Some of the shoes have graphics of the creatures, but others are more subtle, simply following a character\u2019s color scheme. For modern streetwear and casual Adidas fans, the Mewtwo Sambas in a light lilac are perfect. The only hint of the collaboration appears on the sneaker tongue.<\/p>\n<p><img width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Untitled-design-41.webp\"  class=\"wp-image-1099426\" alt=\"Product images for the Pokemon x Adidas collab, featuring the Mewtwo Sambas.\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>Pok\u00e9mon \/ Adidas<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quite a bit more \u201cout there\u201d are the Pikachu Superstar IIs, which are bright yellow, fluffy, and adorned with the character\u2019s yellow and black ears on the sneaker tongue. The high-top Pikachu Superstar IIs are also fuzzy but with what appears to be a coarser fur, and have a silicone graphic of the Pok\u00e9mon on the side. <\/p>\n<p><img width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Untitled-design-42.webp\"  class=\"wp-image-1099431\" alt=\"Product images for the Pokemon x Adidas collab, featuring the Pikachu Superstar IIs.\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>Pok\u00e9mon \/ Adidas<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These fun textures continue across most of the line, with the Charizard and Charmeleon Superstars both bringing in something exciting. The Charmeleon shoe has dinosaur-looking stripes replacing the uniform straight Adidas stripes along the side, and a lizard-y texture. The Charizard pair has a wing on each shoe and a slightly different but still reptilian texture to it. <\/p>\n<p><img width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Untitled-design-43.webp\"  class=\"wp-image-1099452\" alt=\"Product images for the Pokemon x Adidas collab, featuring the Chariard, Charmeleon, Gengar and Rayquaza.\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>Pok\u00e9mon \/ Adidas<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outliers to the texture game focus mostly on color scheme and graphics. The third Pikachu option, another Superstar II, features an all-over graphic of the character. The Charmander shoe replaces the classic stripes with flames. Both of the Mewtwo shoes are color-scheme-driven, though the ZX 9000 includes a raised silicone detail near the heel, mimicking the character\u2019s ears. The Gastly shoe draws from the character\u2019s color, an Adistar Control 5, black with purple and white accents. The Haunter shoe is an Adistar too, with a purple body and darker purple accents. The tongue is designed to look like the character\u2019s outline.<\/p>\n<p><img width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Untitled-design-44.webp\"  class=\"wp-image-1099454\" alt=\"Product images for the Pokemon x Adidas collab, featuring the Charmander, Pikachu, Mewtwo, Gastly and Haunter designs.\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>Pok\u00e9mon \/ Adidas<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph ignore\">With 12 pairs to choose from, thus far, the collection has something for everyone.
