Adidas appears to be collaborating with Pokémon again, this time giving Pikachu the 8-bit treatment on its classic white Advantage silhouette.
Earlier this year, the sportswear company unveiled the iconic character in a pair of Campus sneakers, opposite a version featuring Squirtle.
Those kicks came with the characters embroidered, a Pokéball on the backside, and contrasting hits of yellow (Pikachu) and blue (Squirtle).
This time, a pixellated Pikachu print comes on the lateral heel, while others of the same style (including Bulbasaur, Charmander and Mewtwo) fill the inner lining.

Co-branded tongue tabs and insoles complete the look, along with an Adidas-branded heel tab that makes a sharp contrast.

The first of the new collaboration’s images appear to have come from insider @US_11, and if the photos are, indeed, official product shots, they could be available at adidas.com soon.

Likewise, the collaboration appears to follow Adidas’s extensive “Dragon Ball Z” collection.
