adidas Originals x Pokémon – Pikachu Sneakers

adidas Originals x Pokémon is a collection created to mark the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon brand, and the Superstar II Pikachu model (KI2857) is one of its most anticipated releases. The classic Superstar silhouette in Cloud White/Core Black/Gold Metallic has been updated with details inspired by the most popular Pokémon, and you can now grab it at a discount from Footshop.

Pikachu on Superstar – The Story Behind the adidas Originals x Pokémon Collection

The collaboration was launched to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon brand and includes a dozen or so models inspired by various characters from the universe. The Superstar II Pikachu version blends the iconic '70s cut with motifs referencing this Pokémon – Pikachu's face appears on the heel, while the classic adidas "ears" on the tongue nod to Pikachu's ears in shape.

Materials and Construction of the Superstar Pikachu Model

The pair retains the typical Superstar construction: a leather upper and the signature rubber shell toe, known from the first versions of this silhouette from the '70s. The Cloud White/Core Black/Gold Metallic colorway introduces gold accents where the three stripes usually appear, setting these sneakers apart from standard Superstar versions.

How to Choose the Right Size in adidas Originals x Pokémon Superstar

The sizing for this pair ranges from 35 1/3 to 48, making the model a versatile everyday sports shoe option available for both adults and older teens. With such a wide range, it's not worth guessing the size based on the model name alone – best to check the exact size chart on the product page at Footshop before buying.

What to Wear with Superstar II Pikachu

The Superstar is one of the most versatile sneakers in adidas history, so the Pikachu version works just as well in casual looks with sweats or jeans as it does as a bold collector's accent paired with toned-down outfits. This is primarily a pick for Pokémon fans looking for athletic shoes that tie into the brand's 30th anniversary. By purchasing this pair through Soleback, you'll also get cashback on part of your spend.
