While all the parents are rushing to buy a copy of the newly released Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl for their kids this holiday season, you can head over to your local Converse retailer or their online website to check out their cool new apparel collection. Made in collaboration with The Pokémon Company, Converse is set to release their signature Chuck Taylor shoes, caps, and clothing featuring beloved Pokémon from the Kanto region. Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Jigglypuff make their debut in the new collection, appealing to fans of the retro games.

While the official website hasn't listed the collection just yet, the collection can be viewed on the PKMN Style Twitter account, an unofficial fan page dedicated to Pokémon-related apparel. It seems that clothing and video game collaborations are all the rage this year, with a Puma x Animal Crossing collection featured earlier in 2021.

The Pokémon x Converse collection launches online and at select retailers on December 10, 2021.
