Hello Kitty® Gets the Swarovski® Treatment on This Converse Chuck 70

Converse is set to launch multiple footwear styles as part of its Sanrio partnership. In addition to the Kids-friendly Hello Kitty & Friends pairs, the One Star Brand and Japanese institution have tapped Swarovski® for a limited-edition Chuck 70.

The reimagined high-top maintains some of its most emblematic design details intact, opting for a light cream-colored canvas across the top-half. This base sets the stage for large Hello Kitty® motifs on the lateral heel, done in eye-catching Swarovski® crystals. The similar light-manipulating adornments take on classic Converse logos on the medial profile, breathing new life into the decades-old design.

Elsewhere, the Sanrio character's signature red bow lands on the license plate, inner lining, and left shoe's forefoot. The semi-translucent outsole also gives way to an all-over print that sees Hello Kitty®'s world-famous outline.

Enjoy e-commerce shots of the collaboration ahead. Pairs should launch in ultra-limited quantities come Thursday, March 5.
