Converse Chuck Taylors are already the epitome of cool. They’re retro hip, subtle yet stylish, and theyâre comfortable too! Dressed up or casual, the shoes are an iconic nod to fashion. To make an already world renowned shoe even more recognizable would seem impossible, but adding Hello Kitty to the equation lifts the status to the stratosphere.
It seems everyoneâs favorite cat is just about everywhere nowadays, and the collaborations only seem to get better. Now Sanrio and Converse have teamed up for a uniquely adorable collection of Hello Kitty-themed footwear, sportswear, and accessories.
The footwear collection will feature three of Converseâs classic shoes: the Chuck Taylor All-Star, Chuck 70, and the One Star. Hello Kitty will be subtly popping up in the designs from the lining to the laces. Her recognizable bow can be seen on the toe caps and even all over the soles of the shoes.
While footwear is the main focus, there are plenty of apparel options that also show off the collab. Hoodies, tees, cross-bodys, and phone pouches, all allow you to literally dress head to toe in Hello Kitty and Converse. Itâs a fashionistaâs dream come true.
The best part of this collection is that both brands remain true to their designs. The Converse shoes never lose their classic feel and easily take on the iconic Hello Kitty pinks and reds, leaving you with a perfect combination of kawaii and style.
The Hello Kitty x Converse collection arrives in stores August 16.
