PUMA, in collaboration with The Pokémon Company International, has announced a new collection featuring the world of Pokémon. PUMA takes inspiration from fan-favorite Pokémon from the entertainment franchise including Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Gengar for the new collection.

The collection’s sneakers include the PUMA Slipstream Charmander, PUMA’s Suede, Rider FV and TRC Blaze Court, which are inspired by Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Gengar. Through the footwear range, Pokémon fans will find hidden details on the tongue label, insole and heel.

For the accompanying apparel, textured prints add a tactile detail to items like a sherpa jacket and sweatpants, while Pokémon graphics are featured across an assortment of cotton T-shirts, relaxed crews and hoodies. Accessories include collaborative beanies and messenger bags. 

An exclusive capsule collection from the PUMA x Pokémon collaboration – featuring RS-X Pikachu trainers and select apparel, footwear and accessories – will be available at Foot Locker and Pokémon Center, the online destination for official Pokémon merchandise in the U.S., Canada and U.K. 

For the launch of the collection in the U.S., PUMA and Foot Locker are partnering with The Pokémon Company International and Niantic, publisher of the Pokémon GO mobile game, to turn 400 Foot Locker, Champs Sports and Kids Foot Locker stores across the U.S. and the PUMA NYC flagship store on 5th Avenue into gyms and Poké Stops in Pokémon GO, for the next six months.
