Adidas and Pokémon unveil sneaker line with subtle to unwieldy designs

TechRadar described the results as "far wackier" than it expected. The lineup runs from pearlescent lilac Handball Spezial shoes at the subtle end to orange Superstar Vintage sneakers with a giant orange wing protruding from one side, which the article calls "downright inconvenient."

The article says one furry yellow sneaker with ears might look like a "cake-walk" to match. "But they're not all the most obvious choices you might expect for a big Adidas collab," TechRadar wrote. It adds that further down the range, "there's little more than a color scheme to go off." Character outlines are visible if you look closely, according to the article, though it suggests that may be "cheating."

TechRadar published the full US range and UK range and included a poll at the bottom for readers to say how they did. The article does not mention pricing or a specific release date.
