Adidas' has collaborated with Pokémon and the results are far wackier than I was expecting.

The new lineup of themed sneakers ranges from subtle (pearlescent lilac Handball Spezial shoes) to downright inconvenient (orange Superstar Vintage sneakers with a giant orange wing protruding from one side).
