Hello Kitty and Friends Link Up On the adidas Stan Smith,
Last year was undoubtedly one of the biggest years for Hello Kitty yet. Across a range of brands, Hello Kitty and her big red bow were celebrated on a stack of silhouettes, including adidas’ Superstar, Forum Low and Astir. Aside from Team Trefoil, 2022 was the year that the Hello Kitty x Nike Air Presto was officially reissued for the wider release it never had. The pairs followed a similar formula to their Y2K counterpart – with a few noticeable differences – but the release was celebrated all over the world.
Now, in 2023, it looks like Hello Kitty is once again gearing up for another fun sneaker release with adidas, this time with her friends on the Stan Smith. Plush Hello Kitty pouches have been added to the lacing, with a complementing fabric added to the heels. Hello Kitty and Friends branding can be found on the lateral sides, which usually read Stan Smith, and the pairs are further decorated with all-over print inside.
The Hello Kitty and Friends x adidas Superstar is currently loaded onto adidas Malaysia. News of a wider release is still to follow, but keep it locked to SF for all the updates.
