Say “hello” to your newest fashion obsession. TheHello Kittyand Crocs collection has been officially released just in time to celebrate the beloved figure’s 50th anniversary. The special edition collaboration between the Japanese-based company and the shoe empire features three distinct adult shoe designs and even some exclusive Jibbitz charms.
TheHello KittyCrocs collection is inspired by the much-loved fictional character created by Yuko Shimizu and the Sanrio company. She was first introduced in 1975 and despite the rumor that she was human, Hello Kitty is actually Kitty White, an anthropomorphized cat living with her family in London. The Sanrio company has created hundreds of products starring the cat and their most recent collaboration incorporates fun yet simple designs starring the characters you know and love.
Hello Kitty Classic Clog
The staple shoe in the collection, thisHello KittyCroc is white with a blue sole and red strap. Three little whiskers are painted on either side of the Croc and it comes with her iconic red box in Jibbitz form. As you can see this Croc design is made to look likeHello Kitty. It is the only shoe in the collection to come in both kid and adult sizes.
Hello Kitty Stomp Slide
This Croc design is perfect if you are looking for a little more glam in your footwear, and if you are aHello Kittyfan, you definitely are. These red slides don’t have the iconic strap attached to the back and instead have a slightly elevated chunky heel. The white top is printed with a glittery redHello Kittydesign on top and rocks her signature bow in the front.
Hello Kitty Icon Jibbitz
Hello Kittyand glitter go together like cookies and milk, one of which is actually a Jibbitz in this collection! This Croc charm set comes with five Sanrio designs, including a bottle of milk, a bow, Kitty’s face, Kitty sitting down, and an apple. All Jibbitz are metal and coated with a sparkly overlay.
Hello Kitty and Friends Jibbitz
Show off your love of Sanrio and Crocs with theseHello Kitty and FriendsJibbitz. Whether you are decorating a plain Croc or one in theHello KittyCollection, these five charms are the perfect way to add some cuteness to your footwear. This set featuresHello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, Charmmy Kitty, and Chococat. Like all the Jibbitz on here, they fit both children’s and adult styles.
Hello Kitty Siren Clogs
Quite possibly the most ambitious Croc ever made, theHello KittySiren Clogs rock a nearly 4-inch blue heel. TheHello Kittygraphic print is shimmery blue, which goes perfectly with the red bow Jibbitz. It also comes with two other shoe charms featuring the famous cat. Slide your feet in and out of these heels for easy on-the-go wear.
Kids Pink Classic Hello Kitty Clog
Pink andHello Kittygo hand in hand, so it makes sense that a pink Croc would pop up at some point in this collection. The Pink ClassicHello KittyClog features many of Hello Kitty’s friends like My Melody, Badtz-maru, Kuromi, Chococat, Keroppi, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompuri in the printed graphic over the top of the shoe. The white backstrap features theHello Kitty and Friendslogo.
As Sanrio celebrates the 50th anniversary of its most iconic character over the next year, you can expect more crossover products and collaborations. It seems like their work with Crocs is kicking off the festivities with high-heeled numbers like the Siren clog or the shorter Stomp Slides. Many of these shoes come with their own Jibbitz, which is an added bonus, but the collaboration features two separate charms sets for the die-hard fans and those who are on a budget and just want the charms.
These shoes are expected to be popular in both the States and abroad. Fans who want to guarantee their Hello Kitty fix should order as soon as possible, as some of the more exclusive items, like the Siren Clogs, are selling out fast.
