Late last year, famed sneaker insider Yeezy Mafia announced an upcoming collaboration between adidas and anime Dragon Ball Z would be releasing sometime this year, incorporating seven special edition sneakers to represent each of the Dragon Balls. Just last week fans were given a first look at the impending collaboration, with the Cell, Frieza and Majin Buu-inspired silhouettes.

Now some new images have surfaced, this time showcasing the anime’s main protagonist Goku. Using the adidas ZX 500 RM model, the silhouette is dressed up in Goku’s signature colors of orange and blue with a hit of red on the midsole. Take a look at the video teaser courtesy of Yeezy Mafia below. Also according to the latest teaser, the Dragon Ball Z x adidas collaboration looks to be dropping this August 2018.

It is believed a shoe for the characters Mr. Popo, Yajirobe, Tenshinhan and Mr. Satan are also in the works. Stay tuned for an official announcement and photos.
