Back in early March, we were the first to unveil the upcoming Pokémon x adidas Campus collection, and now, thanks to sneakerhead @solebyjc, we're taking our first on foot look at the brand new Pokémon x adidas Campus 'Pikachu'! It's had to believe that this franchise came out over two decades ago, and even still, the hype surrounding this collab is blasting off like Team Rocket!

Working on an ultra clean white base, cute Pikachu illustrations surround the entire upper, while a large embroidered version hits the medial side panel. adidas branding in yellow hits the heel, and this is complemented by lace tips that pay homage to the Pocket Monster's signature colour. Rounding it all off is a co-branded tongue badge, and a Pokéball that graces the back of the tongue.

Set to release alongside a 'Squirtle' pair as well as a bunch of themed apparel, the Pokémon x adidas Campus 'Pikachu' will be releasing on May 10th in Asia for now, with a global release expected very soon. Let us know if you'd grab a pair, and while you're here, take a look at the full adidas sneaker range!
