In 2024, Sanrio is celebrating a momentous milestone - the 50th birthday of its most iconic character, Hello Kitty. This beloved figure has long been a favorite in pop culture and has made notable appearances in various fashion and footwear collaborations. Once again joining forces with Hello Kitty, adidas is set to bring forth an Adilette Slide in partnership with the cute cat. This reveal comes alongside an upcoming Crocs collaboration.
The Hello Kitty x adidas Adilette Slide is a delightful fusion of comfort and playful design. The slide maintains the classic Adilette structure with a comfortable white foam and rubber footbed, ensuring the pair is as cozy as it is stylish. The highlight of this collaboration is the forefoot strap, which receives a plush transformation and is artistically rendered to resemble Hello Kitty's head.
This design includes intricately detailed features such as Hello Kitty's whiskers on the lateral and medial sides, and her eyes, nose, and iconic pink bow. Every aspect of the slide is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the beloved character. The collaboration extends to the packaging, with the slides arriving in a special Hello Kitty and Friends-branded adidas box, making it a perfect collectible for fans of the character and the brand.
The Hello Kitty x adidas Adilette Slide has already been released in Japan and will possibly see a wider global release later in the year through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $50. Keep updated on this release and more in the sneaker and streetwear world by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
