Pokémon x adidas (2026): Every Sneaker and Apparel Drop
By Dexhaul Team · October 19, 2026 · 7 min read
The 2026 adidas x Pokémon collaboration covers more ground than any drop before it: five footwear silhouettes, a full apparel line with bombers and hoodies, and a kids set, all in stock now at independent retailers worldwide.
The collab runs across two clear product categories. Footwear gets the Superstar II low-top in three character colorways, a Superstar II Mid, and the premium Superstar Vintage. Apparel runs separately: two 8-Ball Bomber Jacket designs, the Teamgeist relaxed hoodie, and a children's hoodie set.
The character assignments follow a clear logic. Pikachu appears across nearly every category while Charizard stays footwear-only and Gengar (Serebii) is limited to outerwear.

The Footwear Line
Three Superstar II colorways anchor the footwear drop. Pikachu gets two interpretations: a classic white/black/gold (KI2857) and a bold all-yellow version (KI2858). Charmander takes a warm orange colorway (KI2855).
All three share the same low-top Superstar II silhouette and land at a similar price point, from around €108 to €120 EUR or $110 USD depending on retailer.
Step up to the Superstar II Mid (KI2862) and you get the same Pikachu yellow theme with added ankle coverage. It is the only mid-top in the drop. Prices run from around €153 EUR to $180 USD depending on seller.
The Superstar Vintage "Charizard" (KI2861) is the premium footwear anchor. It uses the older, boxier Vintage silhouette rather than the standard Superstar II, finished in orange and equipment green that reads as a direct nod to Charizard's fire-and-wing color palette (Serebii). Observed prices start around €162 EUR or $180 USD.
Charizard does not appear anywhere in the apparel line. The Superstar Vintage is its exclusive home this season.
The Superstar II Mid "Pikachu" in yellow is the only mid-top cut and sits at the boundary between the standard and premium tiers. It is a cleaner starting point than the Vintage if you prefer a contemporary silhouette with higher ankle support.
The Apparel Line
The apparel side of the collab splits into three distinct sub-lines. Each uses different characters and sits at a different price tier.
8-Ball Jackets: Pikachu and Gengar
The 8-Ball Bomber (IB7072) takes the classic billiard ball graphic and replaces it with the adidas x Pokémon treatment. Two character versions are in stock: a Pikachu variant observed from around $154 USD and a Gengar version at around $159.99 USD.
The Gengar jacket is the most character-distinct piece in the entire collab. Gengar (Serebii) gets no footwear this season, so the 8-Ball Jacket is its only entry point.
Pikachu Patches Relaxed Bomber
The KS4301 is the premium apparel piece: a relaxed-fit unisex bomber with embroidered Pikachu patches. It runs around €250 EUR and sits above the 8-Ball styles in both weight and price.
This is the collector-grade jacket in the lineup. It is a separate release from the 8-Ball series, with a different cut and a heavier embroidered finish.
Teamgeist Hoodie and Kids Set
The Teamgeist line (KY7886, KY7896) brings a relaxed pullover hoodie from around €153 EUR. It runs in two colorways and uses general Pokémon graphics rather than a single character assignment. The Kids Logo Hoodie Set (KR4687) is a hoodie-and-pants bundle at around $70 USD, the most accessible entry point in the entire collaboration.
Where to Start
Three picks cover the main buyer types.
For a first sneaker from the collab, the Superstar II Charmander (KI2855) is the natural entry point. It is the most grounded colorway in the Kanto starter evolutionary line, and it shares the same silhouette and price bracket as the Pikachu versions without the character saturation those see at retail.
For the statement piece, the Superstar Vintage Charizard (KI2861) is the strongest choice. It is the only shoe using the Vintage silhouette this season, and Charizard appears nowhere in the apparel line. If you want Charizard from this collab, footwear is the only option.
For apparel over footwear, the Gengar 8-Ball Jacket is the most distinctive pick. No other item in the collab uses Gengar, and the 8-Ball format keeps it wearable outside Pokémon-forward contexts.
Sizing and Identifying Official Pieces
The Superstar II and Superstar Vintage run on standard adidas sizing. Most buyers find these true to size or a half-size large. The Superstar II Mid tends to fit more snugly in the heel, so sizing up is worth considering if you are between sizes.
Check each retailer's size chart before ordering: EU, UK and US conversions vary between sellers and some stockists list Asia sizing (typically one to two sizes smaller). Every official adidas x Pokémon product carries a The Pokémon Company International license notice on the tongue or hem tag, with the style code printed inside the shoe or on the jacket label.
For a broader look at the footwear side of this collab, the adidas x Pokémon shoe guide covers silhouettes across the full 2026 collection, including performance running models like the Adistar line. The Adistar Control 5 Gengar fact-sheet goes deeper on that specific drop.
A Q4 Gift Pick from Every Category
If you are buying for someone else, the Kids Logo Hoodie Set ($70 USD) is the most straightforward choice: it is a complete outfit rather than a single piece, and it sits well below the jacket price tier. For adults, the Gengar 8-Ball Jacket and the Superstar II Pikachu (white/gold) are the safest options: both are clean enough to wear regularly and obvious enough to land well as a Pokémon gift.
The Pokémon 2026 holiday gift guide rounds up options across every category, from plush to apparel to TCG, if you are still deciding on direction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the adidas x Pokémon collaboration?
It is an officially licensed partnership between adidas Originals and The Pokémon Company International. The 2026 drop covers footwear (Superstar II, Superstar Vintage, Superstar II Mid) and apparel (8-Ball Bombers, Teamgeist hoodies, a kids set). Each product carries the adidas logo and an official Pokémon license notice.
Which adidas Pokémon shoe should I buy first?
The Superstar II Charmander (KI2855, from ~€120 EUR) is the clearest entry point: it uses the standard low-top silhouette and sits at the base price tier. The Superstar Vintage Charizard (KI2861) is the premium footwear pick, with the archive Vintage cut at around €162 EUR.
Are there adidas Pokémon products for kids?
Yes. The Kids Logo Hoodie Set (KR4687) is a hoodie-and-pants bundle observed at around $70 USD. It uses general Pokémon branding rather than a single character.
Most of the footwear in this drop is adult sizing only.
Is there a Charizard adidas jacket?
No. In the 2026 drop, Charizard appears only in the Superstar Vintage shoe (KI2861). Jacket designs this season use Pikachu and Gengar.
If Charizard apparel is the goal, the Superstar Vintage is the only current option from this collab.
How do I tell an official adidas Pokémon product from a bootleg?
Look for the adidas three-stripe branding alongside an official Pokémon license notice printed on the shoe tongue, box label or jacket hem tag. The style code (KI28xx, KS4301, IB7072) should match those listed in adidas catalogues. Unofficial pieces often omit or misspell the license notice.
