Adidas x Pokémon 30th anniversary: sneaker collection with Samba and Superstar II

• According to IGN, the line includes more than 10 new designs across Adidas silhouettes like the Samba and Superstar II.
• The sneakers are priced between $60 and $180 and are also available in family sizing.

What happened

Adidas has launched a new Pokémon collection tied to Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. IGN describes the release as newly available and says it is a limited-edition sneaker line with multiple Pokémon themes. In other words, this is not a standard ongoing Adidas drop, but an anniversary release that fits into the wider wave of products celebrating the franchise’s 30th birthday.

According to IGN, the collection includes more than 10 new designs and uses several Adidas models, including the Samba and Superstar II. The shoes are built around specific Pokémon, with variants that incorporate both evolution lines and iconic standalone Pokémon. That means the line appears to mix different approaches: some designs reference an entire evolution chain, while others focus on a single recognizable Pokémon. The available information does not break down every model pairing, so only the overall structure can be confirmed.

IGN also reports that prices range from $60 to $180. Family sizing is available as well, which means the collection is not aimed only at adult sizes. That makes the release broader within the same product line, although the source does not provide a full breakdown of which sizes are available for each model.

According to the source, the sneakers are available now through the listed retailers, though stock varies by store. Which Pokémon are tied to each model is not fully detailed in the available information. It is also not confirmed whether the release is worldwide or limited to specific regions. The source does say the collection is on sale now, but it does not provide a complete distribution list or exact retailer-by-retailer quantities.

One extra detail mentioned in the source is that some shoes feature a gold-embroidered Pokémon x Adidas logo. That appears to be a recurring visual marker across the collection, but the source does not specify that it is present on every pair. So it stands out as a notable design element without being confirmed as a universal feature of all models.

Background

The release fits into the broader wave of Pokémon products tied to the franchise’s 30th anniversary. Around the same period, other anniversary-related releases and collectibles also appeared, including Pokémon TCG items and a Gengar diorama. That reflects a wider merchandising push in which different brands and license holders are putting their own spin on the milestone.

What makes the Adidas collection stand out is that it is a sneaker release rather than a card set or display item. The source mentions multiple Adidas silhouettes, including the Samba and Superstar II, showing that the collaboration does not rely on a single model. The mix of familiar Adidas shapes and Pokémon themes is a key part of the release, as is the fact that IGN says the line includes more than 10 new designs. The source does not give an exact total, so it can only be confirmed as a relatively broad capsule collection.

The pricing structure is also notable based on the available facts. With a range from $60 to $180, the collection spans multiple price points within the same collaboration. That suggests not every model sits in the same tier, but the source does not specify which shoes fall into the lower or higher end. The same applies to family sizing: it is confirmed, but the source does not list the exact sizes available or whether every model comes in all sizes.

The available information also shows that the collection is available now through retailers, though stock differs by store. That makes the release not just a product announcement, but an active retail drop. At the same time, several details remain open, including the exact Pokémon-to-model breakdown, the precise number of designs, and whether the collection launched in all markets at once. For now, the core facts are clear: Adidas has released a Pokémon 30th anniversary sneaker collection with multiple models, a $60 to $180 price range, and family sizing.
