Pokémon x Converse (2026): Every Chuck Taylor Design
By Dexhaul Team · October 25, 2026 · 6 min read
Converse has released two distinct Pokémon collections under its licensed partnership with The Pokémon Company. The Chuck Taylor All Star 'First Partners' (A01089C) is the easiest current-release pair to find at or close to its original price, while the older Light Hi character-portrait series (Charizard, Eevee, Mewtwo, Pikachu) now trades almost entirely through the sneaker resale market. Start with the First Partners or Poke Ball pairs if price is your priority; go Light Hi if you want a specific Pokémon's portrait on the shoe.
DexHaul is independent and unofficial. These are fan-purchased pairs listed by independent merchants, not sold directly by Converse or The Pokémon Company.

Every Pokémon x Converse design in the line
Two waves make up the full Converse x Pokémon collaboration available through independent retailers today. The older series uses the lightweight Chuck Taylor All Star Light Hi silhouette with large-format character artwork. The newer A01 series uses standard canvas Chuck Taylor All Star High construction with tiled-pattern graphics.

Prices observed from independent merchants on DexHaul, October 2026. MSRP may vary by region; check each listing for current availability and sizing.
The Light Hi series: full-character portraits
The Chuck Taylor All Star Light Hi uses a lightweight canvas-mesh upper that lets bold full-character artwork pop without the weight of standard canvas. Four designs exist in adult sizes: Charizard (31306262), Eevee (31306261), Mewtwo (31306263), and Pikachu (31306260). Each carries a single large artwork panel on the lateral side.
Because these pairs are sold through the resale market rather than active Converse retail channels, prices vary significantly between sellers. Charizard (31306262) starts around $65 at the lowest current asking price, observed October 2026.
Eevee and Mewtwo are listed at $153 and above from the same platform. Scout across sellers on DexHaul for the sharpest price on your size.
The unique detail worth knowing: the Light Hi "light" refers specifically to the construction. The mesh-canvas material breathes better than standard CTAS canvas but shows creases and scuffs more visibly. If you plan to wear them regularly, factor in care from day one.
The A01 series: pattern prints at accessible prices
The newer A01 series uses standard Chuck Taylor All Star High canvas construction with repeat-pattern rather than portrait graphics. Two designs cover adult sizes.
The 'First Partners' pair (A01089C) tiles the four Kanto starters, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pikachu, across the upper. This is the most widely listed pair in the DexHaul catalogue, observed from $73 upward, October 2026. It is also available in toddler sizing as A01229C and preschool sizing as A01230C.
The 'Poke Ball' pair (A01651C) runs a repeat Poke Ball pattern on white canvas. It shares the same High construction and is a cleaner-looking everyday option for wearers who want the collaboration detail without a character portrait. Observed from $59 upward, October 2026.
Eevee and Mewtwo: the collector picks
Within the Light Hi series, Eevee and Mewtwo carry the strongest collector interest. Eevee (31306261) and Mewtwo (31306263) both list at $153 from the same seller, observed October 2026. They are sequential model numbers, suggesting they were issued in the same wave as Charizard and Pikachu.
From a wear perspective, both use the same Light Hi upper as the Charizard design. The Eevee pair is the most approachable for fans who want a subtler Pokémon reference: the brown-and-cream palette reads as a casual shoe before the design is noticed. The Mewtwo pair is higher contrast.
Toddler and kids sizes: Easy-On, PS and TD
Three toddler-specific designs round out the collaboration. All carry their own model numbers and slightly different construction from the adult pairs.
The Easy-On Low slip-ons in Pikachu (A01231C) and Jigglypuff (A01232C) replace laces with a slip-on cut, built for young kids who are still learning to dress themselves. They are the only two designs in the line built primarily around utility rather than collector appeal.
Jigglypuff (A01232C) lists from $36 and Pikachu (A01231C) from $54.99, both observed October 2026. Those are two of the lowest entry points across the full Converse x Pokémon line.
The toddler 'First Partners' High (A01229C, TD sizing) and preschool 'Poke Ball' High (A01230C, PS sizing) match the adult A01 designs in graphic style. The toddler sizing commands a premium on the resale market relative to its adult counterpart, a common pattern for officially licensed children's sneakers.
Telling authentic pairs apart
Every pair in this line is an officially licensed Converse x Pokémon product. That said, the resale market carries replicas alongside authentic stock. Before purchasing, check the model number on the box against the product listing and verify the Converse star-chevron logo is embossed on the outsole.
See the DexHaul guide to spotting counterfeit Pokémon products for a full authentication checklist. For shoes specifically, inspect the insole printing and the stitching around the toe cap: licensed pairs have clean single-color logo stitching, not multi-thread mixes.

A Q4 gift that works across age groups
The Converse x Pokémon line spans adult and toddler sizing, which is unusual for a sneaker collaboration. That range makes it one of the few Pokémon apparel gifts that works equally well for a collector and a young fan in the same family.
For Q4 gift buyers: the First Partners High (A01089C) at $73 and the Jigglypuff Easy-On Low (A01232C) at $36 are the two lowest entry points in the current catalogue. The Light Hi character portraits cost more but are distinctive collector pieces that have no direct equivalent in other Pokémon shoe lines.
For more licensed Pokémon footwear and apparel options, see the Crocs x Pokémon Clog and Jibbitz guide and the Stance x Pokémon Socks guide. Full Q4 gift ideas across all categories are in the official Pokémon merchandise page.
