Vans x Sanrio x Hello Kitty – (Collection Preview)

There’s been news of this release for awhile now, but the news has officially broke on the Hello Kitty blog, that the collaboration between them and Vans is due to release in June.  Available on Vans.com, all Vans stores, Sanrio.com, and a few Sanrio boutiques, these will have grown women going crazy for the models that are releasing in their sizes.  That’s right, I said grown women!  Forget about all the little girls, because I don’t think Vans knows how crazy the HK fans really are.  This will bring out all of them, that’s for sure.

Here’s a few words from the Hello Kitty blog:

“Sanrio and Vans have teamed up to launch a footwear collaboration for Hello Kitty fans, Vans fans, and sneakerpimps of all ages! Arriving in June, the Vans x Hello Kitty collection will feature an awesome variety of styles and designs, including the Classic slip-on in checkerboard print, low-top laced Authentic in all-over prints and high-top Sk8-Hi D-Lo, in a cute custom print. RAD!

The collection will be available at Vans Retail store, the Vans online store and Vans dealers nationwide as well as select Sanrio Boutique Stores and here at Sanrio.com in June 2011. Prices will range from $25 for an infant and $37 for a child’s Classic Slip-On to $55 for the unisex Sk8-Hi D-Lo high top sneaker.”

Vans x Santigold Sneakers

Coming in the Spring of 2011, will be these fresh sneakers for the ladies.  Vans is killing it right now with the collaboration projects, and this one you see here, with music producer/writer/artist Santigold, is wild, and representative of her style.  She’s a talented woman, and this is just one more thing to add to her resume.  Her punk rock style is evident throughout these sneakers, with the black leather, and chains, but it’s got her classy golden style all over it.  Peep the jump for more pics as well.

words from FreshnGood:

“Vans Girls and Stussy recently came together to remix the idea of “femme” and celebrate West Coast style; laid back, casual and simplified are some of the things both brands love. The Stussy and Vans Girls partnership has produced what is sure to become an iconic menswear inspired shoe, just for the ladies. The Bailie has the look of a classic men’s shoe with all the comfort and ease both brands represent, including special feminine details in two colorways. Be on the lookout for the Bailie dropping next month.”
