Name: Pokémon x PUMA All-Pro Nitro 2 “Pikachu”
Colorway: Yellow/Black
SKU: 312843-01
MSRP: $140 USD
Release Date: April 1, 2026
Where to Buy: PUMA

Following last year’s highly successful Mewtwo-themed PUMA Suede, Pokémon and PUMA are officially bringing their collaborative magic to the basketball court with a bold new iteration of the All-Pro Nitro 2.

As the beloved franchise approaches its monumental 30th anniversary, the latest collaboration shifts focus toward performance footwear without sacrificing its playful aesthetic. The design leans heavily into Pikachu’s signature look, anchored by a vibrant yellow upper that dominates the sneaker. The bright base is expertly contrasted by sharp black accents and subtle metallic hits across PUMA’s iconic formstrip. Adding a premium touch, red suede details wrap around the eyestays, while a deeper maroon tone grounds the heel area. A clear collaborative identity is established through carefully placed Pikachu graphics and Pokémon logos stamped across the heel and insoles.

Beyond its eye-catching visuals, the All-Pro Nitro 2 remains one of PUMA’s elite non-signature basketball models. The sneaker is engineered for the hardwood, utilizing a high-performance NITRO SQD foam midsole specifically designed to balance impact cushioning with quick responsiveness. Underfoot, the outsole is equipped with a dynamic mix of traction patterns built to support sharp cuts and multi-directional movement, ensuring it remains a highly functional option for everyday hoopers.

The Pokémon x PUMA All-Pro Nitro 2 “Pikachu” is set to release on April 1 via PUMA and select retailers.
