We got a sneak peek at what Pokemon and Puma had been working on to celebrate the former's 30th anniversary via some Pikachu-themed All-Pro Nitro 2 sneakers. Now the full Night & Day collection has been revealed, and there's a lot more than just Pikachu stuff up for grabs.
Puma unveils its Pokemon Night & Day Collection
At the heart of Puma's Night & Day collection are four new sneaker designs, each themed after a different Pokémon (thanks, Modern Notoriety). Pikachu has managed to land a second pair of shoes to celebrate Pokemon's birthday, courtesy of Puma. These are reworked Fade Nitro sneakers, yellow and black all over, to match Pikachu, with the mascot's face hanging from the laces via a pendant.
Mimikyu, the Pokémon that wishes it was Pikachu, joins the Electric-type in Puma's new range. Featuring Puma's Inverse sneakers, Mimikyu's shoes are much simpler than their Pikachu counterparts. Mostly a beige color similar to the disguise Mimikyu wears, with some black and white details. Plus a Mimikyu charm in the same spot as the Fade Nitros themed Pikachu pendant.
The two other Pokemon selected for Puma sneakers are both Eeveelutions – Umbreon and Espeon. Like Pikachu, Umbreon's sneakers are Fade Nitros, and since the Dark-type Eevee evolution has a similar color scheme to Pikachu, its shoes are basically the inverse of the Pikachu Trainers.
Umbreon's Fade Nitro sneakers are mostly black with yellow details to represent the gold markings that can be found across the Pokémon's body. The Espeon sneakers are quite different, not only because they're pink all over like the Pokemon they've been designed to represent, but because they're Puma Mostros. They are sneakers with the pointed sole on the toe. Both the Espeon and Umbreon designs also have charms hanging from the strings like the other two designs.
Puma x Pokemon Night & Day Collection Prices and Release Details
All four designs will be available via the Puma website from 12:00 EST on April 2, 2026, and you might see them in the wild if you visit a Puma store, although I can't imagine they'll be in stock for long. The Mimikyu sneakers are the cheapest of the quartet and will cost $110. Pikachu and Umbreon Fade Nitro sneakers cost $125 a pair, and to rep Espeon in shoe form, you'll have to part with $130.
If you don't fancy spending that much on something from Pokemon x Puma's Night & Day collection, there will be a lot more than just sneakers. All four Pokemon can be found on tracksuits, t-shirts, and caps, and a few others that don't get sneakers can also be found on other merchandise, including Mew, Mewtwo, and the series' original partner Pokemon, shown above.
