Katy Perry Collections introduces a new set of Hello Kitty Heels to continue celebrating the beloved character's 50th-anniversary milestone. The brand joins Sanrio on a set of three shoes that reflect the character through motifs and accents.
The Hello Kitty Heel kicks off as it is detailed with glittering crystals and Hello Kitty's head as the heel unit. It comes in the colorway options of red or black and has an open-toe structure. The Hello Kitty Bow Heel follows with a soft Nappa leather construction and the iconic bow at the toe. This comes in a classic white hue, red, and yellow palette, or a purple option. Finally, there is the Hello Kitty Crystal Ballet flat rounding it out.
