Converse x Pokémon Collection 2021

Converse celebrates the 25th anniversary of Pokémon, and collaborates on a collection of footwear, apparel, and accessories featuring Pikachu and Jigglypuff. The Converse x Pokémon collection for adults and children is set to launch on December 10, and along with the nostalgia of the game, will bring the original class of Pokémon, including Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Jigglypuff and Pikachu on Converse’s Chuck Taylor All Star.

The collection will include Pokémon trainers of all ages, and will also have Chuck Taylor All Star shoes ranging from infant to adult sizes with graphic prints of the beloved characters Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pikachu. The classic Chuck patch and top eyelet will be converted into a Poké Ball, and a newly designed license plate on the back of the shoe will be a lightning bolt motif inspired by Pikachu’s Electric-type Moves.

For children the Easy-On Chuck Taylor All Star will have two of the franchise’s most popular Pokémon. Pikachu will be printed on a vivid yellow canvas upper with one strap over the elastic laces, and the same printed on a yellow leather toe cap as well, with ears popping out from the front and a lightning bolt tail at the heel. A second Chuck Taylor has been designed for infants, with two straps for maximum adjustability, and Jigglypuff singing printed on a pink canvas, slightly overlapping over the rubber foxing tape of the design.

The Converse x Pokemon collaboration also includes apparel that takes inspiration by rock tour merchandise, including a hoodie that takes after Pikachu’s electric-type moves and metal band designs. The hoodie also includes “tour stops” from the world of Pokémon on the back, while a pink crew neck sweater also has an edgy embroidered Jigglypuff graphic. Long and short sleeve graphic printed T-shirts with 25th celebration branding is also a part of the apparel, and a retro camp cap with a Pikachu graphic on the front and “electrified” Converse wordmark on the back. The collection rounds with a Go 2 Backpack that pays ode to Pikachu’s amazing powers.

Fans, as part of Converse By You, the brand’s digital customisation experience, can also design their own unique Pokémon Converse on the Chuck Taylor All Star and Chuck 70. The Converse x Pokémon launches around the globe on December 10 at Converse.com and select retailers in youth and adult sizes. Prices of the designs in the collection range from 25 to 62 pounds, while custom designing has varying prices.
