adidas Superstar Pokémon Pikachu Yellow

The adidas Superstar Pokémon Pikachu Yellow with style code KI2858 brings the best known Pokémon character together with one of the most worn adidas silhouettes ever made. The Superstar launched in 1969 as a basketball shoe and became recognisable through its rubber shell toe, the detail that later made it essential in hip hop and streetwear. In this collaboration the familiar white Superstar is converted entirely to Pikachu's bright yellow palette.

Colorway: Yellow / Core Black

The adidas Superstar Pokémon Pikachu Yellow is built on a bright yellow leather upper that points straight at the character. The Three Stripes run in the same yellow tone and are defined by the change in material, while Core Black returns through the detailing and the accents nodding to Pikachu's ears and tail. The rubber shell toe is kept in its recognisable ribbed form and remains the silhouette's defining feature. Pokémon branding sits alongside classic adidas detailing on the tongue and heel, making the collaboration visible without altering the shape itself. Underfoot is the familiar rubber outsole with herringbone tread, keeping the KI2858 as wearable as a standard Superstar.

How does the adidas Superstar Pokémon Pikachu Yellow fit?

The adidas Superstar generally runs a little large, which is why many wearers go half a size down. The leather across the instep gives slightly after a few wears while the shell toe stays firm. If you have wider feet or prefer a roomier feel, stay with your usual size on the KI2858.
