References: highsnobiety
Hello Kitty continues to celebrate her 50th birthday and the new Hello Kitty Gazelle sneaker model by adidas honors the special milestone. The two are no strangers to one another as they have dreamed up variations of the Samba and Superstar models as well.
This time around, the Gazelles are designed with bows stamped throughout the base of a crisp white leather foundation. The branded Three Stripes motif is finished in bright red, which is Hello Kitty's standard hue, and then finished with an embroidered bow to add another pop of color. Notably, at the heel unit, Hello Kitty's logo is lasered as a textural branding detail followed by adorable ribbons all over the tongue.
