2024 is looking more and more like the year of Hello Kitty. It makes sense — the character celebrates its 50th anniversary this year (November 1 is her actual birthday). And the collaborations just keep rolling in.
Next up on the list is another Crocs team-up.
That's right. Miss Kitty White is getting yet another Crocs collaboration. Last year, Hello Kitty and Friends and Crocs packed cuteness overload with generously-patterned pink shoes. The latest, on the other hand, sees the duo take a more straightforward route — but it's still very Hello Kitty, of course.
This time around there's room for a Siren Clog, Stomp Slide, and a classic Clog all of which are inspired cuteness and kindness, of course.
The designs all feature variations of Hello Kitty and her most beloved characteristics, while the Siren and Stomp styles both adorn glitter accents for an extra dose of cuteness.
While the Crocs Stomp Slide, which is about as bold as a Crocs come, is a brand new closed-toe silhouette that's then also punctuated by Hello Kitty’s favorite color: red.
Although not as painfully adorable as the 2023 take, Hello Kitty's newest Crocs are certainly cute. I mean, anything Hello Kitty is a go in my book — and fans will probably share the same sentiment as they try to cop.
Hello Kitty confirmed that its new Crocs collaboration is officially dropping on January 17 on latter's website costing: Siren $99.99, Stomp $79.99, and Clog $69.99.
In all its 50 years, Hello Kitty has truly never gone out of style. With fashion going crazy for all things Y2K, there has been a recent uptake in fashion projects involving the popular cat, who also thrived in the early aughts.
Blumarine and Levi's dropped off collaborative clothes and accessories dripped out in the bow-equipped cat's head. Nike even arrived right in time for the Hello Kitty renaissance with the rebirth of their Air Presto sneaker.
The Hello Kitty craze is still going strong in 2024. After all, it is Hello Kitty's milestone anniversary year. So far, Hello Kitty is due to get an adidas Samba, UNIQLO collab, and a McDonald's meal, each as Hello Kitty cute as the last.
We can add a Crocs clog to the list, too.
