- Milestone Crossover: Pokémon and adidas Originals are marking 30 years of the global gaming franchise with an ambitious, multi-model footwear capsule.
- Textural Transformations: The lineup ranges from fuzzy yellow fabric uppers mimicking Pikachu’s coat to wing-shaped eyelet overlays honoring Charizard.
- Deep Lore Details: Features specific lore references, including Master Ball lace dubraes, claw-shaped Three Stripes and neck-cord heel loops inspired by Mewtwo.
- Global Rollout: Releases worldwide in September 2026 via adidas.com and select global stockists, priced between $110 and $180 USD.
The Pokémon 30 celebration continues with another drop diehard fans are sure to love. To celebrate three decades of Pokémon, adidas Originals is going all-in on lore-accurate footwear engineering. Rather than relying on simple printed graphics, the Pokémon x adidas Originals 30th Anniversary Collection completely reshapes classic 3-Stripes models around character textures, evolution chains and specific aesthetic traits.
Leading the charge is a trio of Pikachu designs: a Pro Model and a Superstar draped in tactile fuzzy yellow fabric to mirror the iconic mascot’s fur, alongside a second white leather Superstar covered in all-over graphic prints. The Kanto starters also receive dedicated builds, headlined by a Superstar “Charizard” featuring dramatic wing-shaped flap overlays that recall classic Jeremy Scott-era adidas experimentation.
Here’s what you need to know.

Ghost Types, Legendary Dragons, and Release Details
The capsule expands further into fan-favorite rosters across performance and lifestyle silhouettes. Spectral Ghost-types take over technical models, with a deep-purple Adistar XLG 2.0 “Gengar” and a sharp-edged Adistar Control 5 “Haunter.”
Meanwhile, the legendary Mewtwo spans three distinct models—highlighted by a ZX 8000 with a Master Ball dubrae and a Spezial featuring a heel loop modeled after the Pokemon’s bio-engineered neck cord. Rounding out the drop are two green-and-black Rayquaza models, including an F50 Tunit Mega that keeps its football-derived Megaride tooling intact.
