adidas x Pokémon Haunter – purple sneakers

adidas x Pokémon Haunter is one of the most recognizable pairs from the fall collection celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, and it’s now available at a discount at Footshop. The model is based on the archival running silhouette Adistar Control 5 and brings the pointed, dark aesthetic of the Ghost known from the Gastly evolution to the upper.

Haunter on Adistar Control 5 – where the idea came from

The adidas x Pokémon collection for the brand’s 30th anniversary includes three models based on the Gastly-Haunter-Gengar evolution line: Gastly landed on the Control 3 silhouette, Gengar on the XLG 2.0, and Haunter on the Adistar Control 5. The purple-black colorway and jagged, “spiky” details on the upper reference the look of this Ghost, while hidden pink inserts under the tongue nod to its signature grin.

Suede tongue and Purple/ Energy Ink/ Magic Lilac colorway

Adistar Control 5 is an archival adidas silhouette, reimagined here with a Pokémon twist. The upper comes in Purple/ Energy Ink/ Magic Lilac, with the standout feature being the suede tongue featuring jagged, pointed inserts that reveal pink accents underneath. The model is catalogued as KJ5611.

How to choose the right size for Adistar Control 5 Haunter

Adistar Control 5 in the Haunter version is available in a wide size range – from 36 2/3 to 47 1/3, all on a single unisex last. The brand doesn’t provide specific fit guidance, so before buying it’s worth checking the detailed size chart on the Footshop website.
