“First on the roster is the Pokemon x Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star “First Partners” which is styled with a black canvas upper and comes decorated with images of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Meowth and Jigglypuff. Next in line is the “Poke Ball” colorway which is presented with a white upper and all-over black and white graphics of the aforementioned cast. On the lateral walls, a Poke Ball is embedded into the shoe near the ankle collars,” Converse wrote in a newly released statement.
Outside of the Converse shoes, the brand is also releasing lots of apparel to celebrate the collaboration. The brand is putting out shirts and sweatshirts starring some of Pokemon‘s most popular creatures. But according to Converse, the must-get item is a celebration hoodie.
“Die-hard fans can also choose adventurous apparel items to add to their wardrobe here. The stand-out piece is the Pokemon 25th Celebration Hoodie ($75) which comes printed with “electrified” Converse and Pokemon graphics and “tour stops” from the world of Pokémon on the backside. Elsewhere in the apparel category you can find a sherpa-lined Jigglypuff crewneck, Pokemon Team and Pikachu tees and a range of accessories from backpacks to camp caps,” the statement shares.
