The Pokémon Company revealed a new capsule collection in collaboration with the Japanese sports equipment manufacturers Mizuno and Mikasa.

Inspired by one of the world’s favorite electric rodent-like fictional characters Pikachu, the collection will include athletic apparel, equipment and travel accessories emblazoned with yellow silhouettes depicting Pikachu, adjacent to the logos of manufacturers.

Mikasa will be manufacturing the athletic equipment, which includes a variety of  Pikachu and Poké Ball themed sports balls, ranging from volleyballs to soccer balls. 

Mizuno will be manufacturing the athletic apparel and accessories, which include monochrome jackets, pants, T-shirts, caps, socks and water bottles.

The Osaka-based company will also have travel-friendly items, such as cargo-pocketed backpacks, quick-drying towels, and sling bags.

The Pikachu collection will be available on the Pokémon Center web store and select Japanese Mizuno shops starting August 15.
