Have you ever seen a pair of kicks as adorable as the FORFEX x Sanrio 50th Anniversary? It may not be for the guys, but the ladies and small children will certainly appreciate the playful element of these sneakers.
The FORFEX x Sanrio 50th Anniversary brings the Italian footwear label and the Japanese caricature company together for an impressive collection of sneakers. There will be the option of a pair of high-tops or low-tops. In terms of visuals, both have some of Sanrio's beloved characters such as Badtz-Maru, Kerropi and of course, Hello Kitty scattered all over a white leather canvas.
In addition to these sneakers, the FORFEX x Sanrio 50th Anniversary Collection will also include an iPhone case and a specially marked box to go with the sneakers. Look for these to drop June 20th at select FORFEX retailers worldwide and Parisian boutique Colette.
