Earlier in the year, news of an upcoming adidas Dragon Ball Z collaboration took the sneaker industry by storm, with interested parties wondering exactly how the Three Stripes would pull it off. Today, we have the best indication of what is to come, thanks to a first actual look at the Cell-inspired adidas Prophere. Dressed in an appropriate combination of purple and green – which is no surprise – the real news here comes by way of a first look at this collection’s insole as well as the special edition packaging it comes housed inside of. Its insole sports a mix of Japanese characters as well as the mythical Dragon Balls that each character in the show so desperately wants to get a hold of. Both its box and insole feature DBZ branding in a bold yellow and red typeface that introduces the show before each and every episode. Graphics on the sidewall of the box are based on sketches from the show, which unsurprisingly include Cell on this particular pair, with another all over Dragon Ball graphic on the interior. Enjoy a first in person look at the new adidas Prophere “Cell” here and stay tuned for more from adidas and Dragon Ball Z.
