While there are a lot of trends and fashion choices that I’ve outgrown since I was a child, Hello Kitty is not one of them. Nor should it ever be. When you can get everything from a Hello Kitty toaster to sophisticated Hello Kitty jewelry, the world’s cutest kitty is certainly meant for all ages.
When I heard that Converse and Hello Kitty had teamed up to release a new collection of sneakers, I only needed to know one thing – if they came in adult sizes.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that they come in unisex adult sizes, children’s sizes and even baby sizes. This has mommy and me pairing written all over it.
There are multiple patterns and colors to choose from as well as low top and high top styles. I need to go shoe shopping. But, which one to choose?
The Converse x Hello Kitty Chuck 70 High Top features a hidden star print on the lining and stars on the bottom of the shoes. There’s also a Hello Kitty image on the side of the shoe. In classic black, you can’t go wrong.
The Converse x Hello Kitty Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top comes in two colors, white and red. The white print features a pattern of apples, cupcakes and Hello Kitty heads. The red print features a pattern of stars, Converse shoes, bows and Hello Kitty heads. Converse on Converse; I’m in love.
The Converse x Hello Kitty Chuck Taylor All Star High Top comes in two different designs, and I’m truly torn about which one is my favorite. One is a black canvas shoe with a hidden star print on the lining and a Hello Kitty head on the shoe’s tongue. The other is also a black canvas shoe, but it has an all-over star print with Hello Kitty standing and waving on the side of the shoe.
There’s also the Converse x Hello Kitty One Star Low Top. This shoe style comes in two colors, black and red. The Hello Kitty design details on this shoe are not in your face. They’re subtle yet everywhere. There are all-over print laces, an overlay of Hello Kitty’s head on the back of the shoe and a Hello Kitty pattern that weaves through the shoe’s laces.
Last, but certainly not least, there’s the Converse Custom Chuck Taylor All Star Hello Kitty High Top. If you want one-of-a-kind shoes, this is for you. First, you choose from 3 different shoe colors, each with an all-over bow pattern. Then you can customize everything from the color of the tongue to the lining inside the shoe. You can even add custom text on the shoe’s heel stripe.
All of these Converse and Hello Kitty styles perfectly coordinate with other apparel available at the Converse website. If it’s not too late, I’m totally adding these to my holiday wish list.
Which shoe style is your favorite?
