Although Sanrio’s Hello Kitty character celebrated her 50th birthday in 2024, the loveable cat character is again adventuring across the footwear industry. Previous Hello Kitty footwear collabs include the Hello Kitty Prestos with Nike, many adidas sneakers like the Gazelle Indoor and Sambae, and even a Crocs collaboration. On top of the already previewed Puma Easy Rider, Hello Kitty is again getting a colorway on the Puma sneaker.
Unlike the other pair, this version of the Easy Rider comes coated in a black palette. Accenting hits of red land on the lining of the black suede toecap overlay, the suede panel on the midfoot, the sockliner, and the lacing setup. Embroidered atop the black mesh base are Hello Kitty details, including depictions of the character herself, her initials, stars, her bowtie, and more.
