The latest collection between Pokémon and Puma will include a matching apparel collection and accessories, which consists of co-branded t-shirts, crewneck sweaters, a sherpa jacket, sweatpants, beanies, and messenger bags.

“The collection’s sneakers focus on these beloved Pokémon from the globally popular entertainment franchise, as highlighted by the Puma Slipstream Charmander as well as Puma’s Suede, Rider FV, and TRC Blaze Court, which are inspired by Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Gengar,” Puma wrote about its new collection with Pokémon.
