adidas Originals x Pokémon Samba OG – lilac sneakers

adidas x Pokémon Samba OG in the Mewtwo variant lands at Footshop as part of a limited collection celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon series. This is a rare chance to grab the iconic Samba model in an exclusive lilac colorway inspired by one of the most popular legendary Pokémon.

adidas x Pokémon Samba OG Mewtwo – where does the lilac color come from?

The Ice Lavender upper features an iridescent, slightly metallic finish that nods to Mewtwo's appearance. The eyelets are designed to resemble the Pokémon's three-fingered hands, while its face is placed on the tongue. The sneakers come with a mini Poké Ball charm attached to the laces – a detail you won't find on standard Sambas.

The Samba OG model

Samba is one of adidas' oldest models, originally created as an indoor soccer shoe and now a staple of everyday streetwear. The OG version stays true to the original design: leather upper, rubber sole with studs, and the signature toe overlay.

How to choose the right size for adidas Samba OG Pokémon

Available in sizes from 35 1/3 to 47 1/3, this is a full, unisex size run. If you're between two sizes when buying the adidas x Pokémon Samba OG, check the size chart on the Footshop product page – Samba's fit can differ slightly from other adidas sneakers.

How to style the Mewtwo Samba OG
