Puma x Pokémon Fade Umbreon Releases April 2026

The partnership between Puma and The Pokémon Company continues to expand its footwear offerings with a character-specific approach. Rather than a broad franchise treatment, this release zeroes in on Umbreon—the sleek, nocturnal counterpart introduced in the second generation—as the creative anchor for a Fade execution.
The Fade remains one of Puma's more understated silhouettes, a heritage runner that prioritizes proportion and restraint over visual dominance. Applying Umbreon's design language—predominantly dark tones with accent detailing—positions the shoe as more fashion-forward than novelty-driven, a strategic choice that keeps collaborative sneakers tethered to wearable reality rather than costume territory.
Release Details
The Puma x Pokémon Fade Umbreon launches April 2, 2026, with a $125 retail price point. Distribution includes Puma's official e-commerce channel and a selection of authorized retailers. Fans tracking the brand's broader Pokémon pipeline should monitor release confirmations as the date approaches, as collaborative stock across multiple doors tends to move with velocity in this category.
