After getting our best look yet at the adidas Yung-1 “Frieza,” we now have a closer look at the accompanying ZX500 RM “Goku” sneaker.

Drawing from the key Goku vs. Frieza rivalry of popular anime/manga Dragon Ball Z, the adidas sneakers serve as the series’ first-ever footwear collaboration. The ZX500 RM is inspired by Goku’s signature blue and orange outfit constructed of nubuck, leather, mesh and distressed canvas accented by an embroidered Flying Nimbus motif. While a Dragon Ball Z branded insole and a full-length BOOST midsole with contrasting orange and blue sole counters.

Check out the closer look above and expect the adidas ZX500 RM “Goku” and accompanying Yung-1 “Frieza” to release sometime in August.

In case you missed it, the Pharrell Williams x adidas Solar Hu Glide St recently surfaced in an alternate black colorway.
