Pardon us as we recover from the cuteness overload that is the latest Hello Kitty x adidas collab dropping today.<\/p>\n<p>Following its <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/sneakers\/DV3770-400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collaborative Nike Air Presto<\/a> with the Swoosh, Japan&#8217;s most famous cartoon cat has teamed up with fellow footwear giant adidas for another <em>kawaii<\/em> collection. This time, the partnership sees not just one, but three pairs of Hello Kitty x adidas sneakers (and a whole lot more including kids and toddlers shoes, a bucket hat and a waist pouch).<\/p>\n<p>Taking the lead is the Hello Kitty x adidas Superstar. Featuring an all white leather upper, Hello Kitty&#8217;s touches are spotted on the mismatched pink and red beaded laces tied in a way that recalls the character&#8217;s signature kitty bow tie style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36917\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131654\/z-GW7168-standard-mirrored_pair_view-AyLOfVFnXM.png\" alt=\"Hello Kitty x adidas Superstar Forum Low Astir sneakers 2022\" width=\"1024\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131654\/z-GW7168-standard-mirrored_pair_view-AyLOfVFnXM.png 1024w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131654\/z-GW7168-standard-mirrored_pair_view-AyLOfVFnXM-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131654\/z-GW7168-standard-mirrored_pair_view-AyLOfVFnXM-768x524.png 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131654\/z-GW7168-standard-mirrored_pair_view-AyLOfVFnXM-282x192.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hello Kitty&#8217;s head peeks out on the lateral sides; on the black heel tabs that are now adorned with cute polka dots, the adidas trefoil logo is embroidered in a sweet pink color. Down below, the outsoles are printed with more polka dots in red and pink respectively. An embroidered &#8220;Hello Kitty&#8221; text also takes over the tongue.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing in adidas&#8217; &#8220;Core Black\/Footwear White&#8221; colorway, the other two Hello Kitty x adidas sneakers take notes from the Superstar but give it a sporty spin. The Hello Kitty x adidas Forum Low and Astir sneakers feature a mix of materials like leather and mesh, and are both dressed predominantly in black with white polka dots across the upper. On the Forum Low, a pop-up Hello Kitty face dresses the lateral heel, while pink and red piping details add to the kawaii-ness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36910\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131640\/z-GW7167-standard-pair_view-Fyod0X6mek.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131640\/z-GW7167-standard-pair_view-Fyod0X6mek.png 1024w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131640\/z-GW7167-standard-pair_view-Fyod0X6mek-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131640\/z-GW7167-standard-pair_view-Fyod0X6mek-768x524.png 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/03131640\/z-GW7167-standard-pair_view-Fyod0X6mek-282x192.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Hello Kitty x adidas Astir has a more toned down look overall, but a red Hello Kitty bow replaces the top lace eyelet in a brilliant design move.<\/p>\n<p>All three Hello Kitty x adidas sneakers come with a special edition shoebox, featuring the Sanrio character in an adidas tracksuit, and a Hello Kitty key chain, and are available for purchase now.<\/p>\n<p>In other sneaker-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/09\/02\/new-adidas-puffylette-silhouette-is-a-pillow-for-your-feet\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all new adidas Puffylette<\/a> that feels as comfy as its name sounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snkrdunk_int\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp\" alt=\"Magazine-Bottom-Banner\" width=\"970\" height=\"\u201c300\u201d\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp 970w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-300x93.webp 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-768x238.webp 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-282x87.webp 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polka dots!
