The adidas x Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> collaboration celebrates the 30th anniversary of a franchise that has gone from Game Boy screens to becoming a universal language. Footwear, icons spanning several generations and a healthy dose of nostalgia come together in a collection designed to keep catching them all.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon emerged in the 1990s, at a time when trading creatures between two consoles with a cable felt almost like magic. Video games, trading cards, anime and merchandise quickly turned Pikachu and company into a defining part of popular culture for an entire generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three decades later, Pok\u00e9mon has achieved something even more difficult: avoiding becoming frozen in nostalgia. Each new generation has found its own gateway into the Pok\u00e9mon universe, from new video game releases and mobile apps to collecting, fashion and collaborations. That ability to evolve without losing its identity makes its partnership with adidas particularly fitting.<\/span><\/p>\n
