[Hello Kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-hightop-sneakers) and [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-and-offwhite) work in collaboration on a new special collection that is available at retailer atmos. The highly anticipated collection includes a selection of footwear along with a limited edition range of apparel as well. The iconic Sanrio character is the star of the show as she details the sky blue cuffed sweatpants in a monogram print all over.

It also can be seen across the oversized graphic tees and heavy cotton hoodies as well. The notable white tee is seen with [Hello Kitty branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruno-mars-and-hello-kitty) at the front along with a Nike Air branding accent. The shoes include three pairs of the Air Prestos and it is set to launch officially on May 27th.
