Pokémon and PUMA continue their growing collaboration with the reveal of the All-Pro Nitro 2 “Pikachu”, a performance basketball sneaker inspired by the franchise’s most recognizable mascot. The upcoming release blends competitive on-court technology with bold Pokémon styling, delivering a design that stands out both in gameplay and everyday wear.
The sneaker features a vibrant yellow upper referencing Pikachu’s iconic color palette, paired with black accents that mirror the character’s ears and tail. Subtle Pokémon branding appears throughout the shoe, including themed graphics and co-branded details that celebrate the long-running series.
Despite the playful inspiration, the All-Pro Nitro 2 maintains a clean basketball silhouette, making it wearable beyond collectors and appealing to athletes looking for performance footwear with personality.
Underneath the themed exterior, the model retains PUMA’s performance-focused technology. The shoe is equipped with NITRO™ SQD foam cushioning, designed to provide responsiveness and stability during quick movements on the court. A lightweight engineered upper enhances breathability, while the outsole traction pattern is optimized for grip during fast directional changes.
The All-Pro Nitro 2 continues PUMA Basketball’s push toward combining professional-level performance with lifestyle appeal.
The Pokémon x PUMA partnership has expanded steadily through apparel and footwear releases, blending gaming culture with modern sportswear. The Pikachu edition adds another standout entry to the collaboration, appealing to both sneaker fans and longtime Pokémon collectors.
The Pokémon x PUMA All-Pro Nitro 2 “Pikachu” is scheduled for release on April 1st. Click here to see their past collaborations, such as the 2022 PUMA collection featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Gengar-inspired shoes and apparel.
