If you're a Pokémon fan, chances are that you have a bit of a soft spot for Pikachu. If your love for the little electric bundle of cuteness goes beyond mild adoration, though, then these new clothing options might be just your thing.
Launching in Japan later this year, these new trainers and jumper (or sneakers and sweater, for our friends in North America) come from clothing brand Glamb. You likely don't need to be shown why these should be purchased immediately, but the stylishly moody and bored-but-still-posing models below demonstrate exactly how it all looks when put together.
They're actually launching as part of a larger range which will also include this Pikachu shirt, Eevee shirt, and an absolutely fabulous Jigglypuff jumper.
The items are limited in quantity, and are releasing at various different times over the next few months - the Pikachu sweater and sneakers are scheduled to be shipped in April and May respectively. As you might expect (although maybe not quite to this extent), all options are pretty expensive. The sweater costs 18,360 yen (approx. £127 / $168), and the sneakers cost 27,000 yen (approx. £187 / $247). Still, if you have a spare $400 knocking around, why not spend it all on looking like a Pikachu?
If these aren't quite your thing, a stylish collection of Pokémon shirts was also revealed recently.
As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Will you be snapping these up?

I have no mouth and I must pika
Let's do a guessing game concerning which NLife user is going to buy that sweater and those shoes and will subsequently change his profile pic to show them off...
Why are they charging like £127 for a sweater that looks like it came off Etsy?
Try keeping a straight face when you see someone with those Pikachu sneekers.
Saw this a couple of days ago and decided not to submit it as a news tip after seeing the price. Also Jigglypuff's eyes look like cold nipples.
@riChchestM where you finding blue nipples 😂
I was mildly tempted by the sweater until I saw the price. I'll need a few Meowths using Pay Day before that happens.
Those are the sort of shoes you couldn't leave the house in because they would get ruined SO easily.
...they're also embarrassing
Huh. Neat. Those look nice.
How to not get friends
@Blitzenexx
Blittzenexx used "consider buying" on the sweater, but it failed!
Sweater struck back with "too expensive" and it escaped...
@ThanosReXXX Okay, you’re on. Just got birthday money, gotta waste it somewhere.
How long before they get a letter from PETA complaining about trainers made out of Pikachu hide
looks comfy but... for 400 bucks? eh... no thanks I pass...
With those PikaShoes people will go PeekAtYou.
The Jigglypuff sweater is kinda okay, everything else is just flat out questionable.
I'm sure that would be cute for a kid but I wouldn't want to imagine an adult wearing that.
The sweater looks awesome though
@ThanosReXXX: Then Blitzenexx used NOPE! followed by Bargain Hunt!
You probably will be the talk of the town, but not in a good way
Haha love how concerned with society's perception everyone is. Y'all grow up, those shoes are awesome.
The price though? Not a chance.
Toxic masculinity is literally pouring out of this comments section.
@CTMike It's not about toxic masculinity, more the fact that grown people don't usually wear sneakers with ears and tails. I'd rather be fabulous than masculine any day (see my avatar?) but I don't think there's any need for sneakers that look like kids' slippers in my life.
The sweaters are a lot more appealing to me. Although there I'd rather be wearing that Jigglypuff than the Pikachu.
@JasmineDragon I really don't think that's it at all. It's all in the why that's a thing in the first place
Those Pikachu shoes are so ridiculously stupid that I could definitely ironically pull them off.
@ThanosReXXX Me..... If I only had the yen....
@JasmineDragon @CTMike I don't see anything wrong with the sneakers, tbh. They're kinda cute. It's not like they're advertised as shoes to do construction work in or somethin'.
I personally think those would fly better than any of the clothes by a country mile. o.x Those are what I 'couldn't see an adult wearing' just because...
I like that black t-shirt. But those yellow shoes seem like a terrible idea. I don't like white shoes for the same reason - they are shoes, they get dirty so easily!
One for the amiibo more money than sense crowd.
The pikachu printed black shirt, and the Eevee blouse w skirt look nice. The others....not as much so
