The Sanrio x Converse Line Includes Beloved Cartoon Characters

— July 18, 2023 — Marketing
Cartoon fans will be delighted at the news that a new Sanrio x Converse collection has dropped. Offered in vibrant colorways, the playful designs feature some of Sanrio's most beloved cartoon characters like Cinnamoroll, My Melody, and Hello Kitty.

The Sanrio x Converse collaboration updates the footwear brand's iconic All Star Hi and All Star Ox sneakers. Each footwear boasts a Sanrio cartoon character somewhere on its body—from My Melody on the lateral heel of the All Star Hi to Hello Kitty's red bow on the midfoot of the All Star Ox's fuzzy exterior.

The Sanrio x Converse capsule is highly anticipated, without a doubt, and the brands have scheduled the release for July 21 at atmos stores
