Converse and Sanrio are teaming up in 2026 for a new Hello Kitty x Converse collection. The focus is on a total of six Chuck Taylor variants that celebrate the popular characters surrounding Hello Kitty and her friends.

The collection consists of five high-top models and one low-top, which feature various designs and themes. Several pairs feature eye-catching all-over prints with Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters. The ‘BFFS’ version, in which numerous characters appear together on the upper, has a particularly playful look.

Another highlight is the ‘Cinnamoroll’ version, which offers a very clean, almost pastel-like look with a light blue upper and matching character details. There are also designs with a sticker look and a picnic-style version with graphic motifs of the Sanrio family.

However, the absolute eye-catcher of the collection is the Hello Kitty x Swarovski x Converse Chuck 70. Here, a large Hello Kitty motif made of sparkling Swarovski crystals adorns the side of the sneaker. The Converse logo has also been reinterpreted with crystals, while Hello Kitty's signature red bow adds additional accents to the tongue, lining and outsole.

The remaining models feature classic canvas uppers with playful prints, making the collection appealing to both collectors and fans of colourful lifestyle sneakers.

The Hello Kitty x Converse collection will be released on 5 March 2026.

The models will be available from Converse and selected retailers online and in stores. Prices vary depending on the model – from around €80 for classic All Star versions to around €300 for the limited edition Swarovski version.
