Pokémon turns 30, and adidas isn’t marking it with one shoe but with a whole run. The Megaride F50 “Pikachu” is the one that actually lands if you’re deep into sneakers. No toy energy, just a clean black base with electricity running through it.
Black base, lightning on top
Earlier Pokémon pairs sat on Superstars and Pro Models. This one jumps to the Megaride F50, the silhouette built on adidas’ football DNA. The upper is mostly black. Yellow lightning bolts cut across it, and the three stripes come in that same yellow. Down low sits the Megaride sole: separate see-through yellow chambers that look like current is running through them. Pikachu is tucked in small, no giant cartoon across the panel. That’s what keeps it wearable.
Style it like any loud-sole runner. Black baggy jeans or cargos, a plain hoodie, and let the yellow do the talking. It reads as a sneaker first and a licence second, which is exactly why it works where a lot of character collabs fall flat.
It dropped at $200, and euros already go under that
The Pokémon x adidas collection kicked off worldwide on 22 September, with this Pikachu wave landing on 24 September 2026. It came through adidas and CONFIRMED as a broad release, no raffle, with a $200 US retail tag.
On Solezilla.com we’re tracking thirteen active euro listings from thirteen shops today, and the spread is tight. Farfetch opens it around €180–183, then Asphaltgold, Suppastore, HHV, BSTN, Footshop and Overkill all sit at €199–200, Warsaw at €206, and Miinto at the top near €224. So the floor is already a touch under the dollar retail, which is rare for a licence collab this fresh. For UK shoppers there’s one listing right now: BSTN UK at about £182. No dollar listings have landed yet, so US buyers should factor shipping and import before clocking any euro number.
A Rayquaza Megaride is coming too, so Pikachu isn’t the only one from this line, but the black-and-yellow is the most recognisable of the batch. Line up sizes and shops on the Pikachu page before you commit, and see the rest of the silhouette over on adidas. Does it make your rotation or not? Drop your vote in Grail or Bail.
