The youth apparel line-up includes an adidas Pokémon trainer tee and classic black tracksuit, featuring Pokémon inspired graphics as part of its updated look.
The adult footwear collection features a new take on the running-style adidas Phosphere shoes – combining lasting comfort with eye-catching style through the inclusion of contemporary Pokémon illustrations on the tongue. The apparel range includes a pixelated Pokémon tee, in addition to tapered cuff pants, that offer a worthy nod to the gaming icon’s heritage.
Bernhard Serr, VP Product Core Apparel / Accessories at adidas, said: “Streetwear is about making statements – wearing the newest and freshest pieces to show your style and to get yourself noticed. We’re delighted to collaborate with Pokémon to create this unique new sport-inspired line that takes cues from the prolific gaming franchise. The collection is sure to be a must-have for Pokémon Trainers across the globe, young and old.”
Colin Palmer, Vice President of Marketing at The Pokémon Company International said: “This collaboration between Pokémon and adidas sees two of the world’s biggest brands combine to create a unique clothing capsule for Pokémon Trainers.
