PUMA<\/a><\/strong> immerses itself into the world of Pok\u00e9mon<\/a><\/strong> as the sportswear brand drops an extended capsule collection with the globally celebrated franchise. The collection includes a range of footwear and apparel options inspired by fan-favorite Pok\u00e9mons like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Gengar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pok\u00e9mon that started it all appears on the PUMA Rider FV \u201cPikachu.\u201d<\/a><\/strong> The icon is represented with yellow ripstop fabric and electric yellow suede overlays.
