adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 Gengar is one of the standout models from the Pokémon x adidas collection released for the brand's 30th anniversary, and you can grab it now at a promotional price in the Footshop store. This is the tech-forward Adistar XLG 2.0 silhouette, redesigned to capture the look of one of the most recognizable Pokémon.

Adistar XLG 2.0 Gengar – where does the purple color come from?

The Purple/Shadow Violet/Magic Lilac colorway isn't random – it's a direct nod to Gengar, the Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon. The mirrored inserts on the sides of the upper resemble its bulging eyes, while the white mesh on the toe box forms a smile shape, so from above the shoe looks like Gengar's full face. It's one of twelve models in the Pokémon x adidas collection, which also includes the ZX 8000, Samba, and Superstar.

Adistar XLG 2.0 construction under the purple upper

The Adistar XLG 2.0 is a sporty silhouette from adidas' training line, known for its sculpted sole and well-supported upper. The Gengar version keeps the model's signature build, with synthetic overlays and finishing details tailored to the collection theme.
