adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 Pokémon Gengar

The adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 Pokémon Gengar with style code KJ5609 is part of the Pokémon x adidas Originals collection for the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, released in September 2026. Each pair in the collection is built around one character, and the chunky, running-inspired Adistar XLG 2.0 was given to Gengar, the Ghost-type Pokémon. Instead of printing the character on the shoe, adidas worked its face into the construction itself. Underneath, the model keeps its familiar set-up with a moulded cage over mesh and Adiprene cushioning in the heel.

Colorway: Purple / Pink

Several shades of purple cover the shoe, from the mesh base to the layered panels and the moulded cage. Gengar's eyes sit raised on the side panels, a wide white grin runs across the front and pointed sections around the heel refer to the spikes on its back, so the full face appears when you look at the pair from above. Character artwork is printed on the tongue, and the laces carry a charm in the shape of Gengar's face together with Poké Ball details. A rubber outsole finishes the build.

How does the adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 Pokémon Gengar fit?

adidas describes the Adistar XLG 2.0 as true to size and advises ordering your usual size. The moulded cage over the mesh base holds the midfoot in place, and the Adiprene foam in the heel gives a cushioned landing. The silhouette is deliberately bulky and looks larger on foot than a slim trainer, which is part of the design and no reason to size down. The pair runs in adidas men's sizing, so check the size chart if you normally wear women's sizes.
