Japanese pop icon Hello Kitty has inspired Converse’s new playful
capsule collection, to be launched globally on August 16. The character
will be featured in three sneaker styles: Chuck Taylor All Star, Chuck 70
and One Star.

All items are unisex, and come in sizes for both kids
and adults. The line is also set to include apparel and accessories, said
Nike, which owns the Converse brand, on its website. However, only pictures
of the sneakers have been made public for now.

The Converse x Hello
Kitty collection is set to be sold worldwide on Converse.com and select
retailers. Prices were not yet disclosed.
