My Melody and Kuromi Move Into Converse Chuck 70s, From £90 in the UK
Converse's Hello Kitty and Friends collection pairs the two Sanrio characters on sneakers, kidswear and tees, on sale on Converse's UK and US sites.
Converse has put My Melody and Kuromi on a Hello Kitty and Friends collection that is on sale now on its UK and US sites.
The headline pair is the Chuck 70 My Melody & Kuromi: a black full-grain leather high-top with tonal debossed character graphics and lace charms. Converse lists a secondary lace option, an OrthoLite insole, an All Star ankle patch inspired by the pair, and a co-branded insole and licence plate. It costs £90 on Converse UK and $100 on Converse US.
The UK collection page lists more. The Chuck Taylor All Star high-tops are separate My Melody and Kuromi versions at £75 each, a younger kids' high-top is £45, and a baby and toddler One Strap low-top is £37. There is also a long-sleeve T-shirt at £35, a full-zip hoodie covering both characters, and a Converse By You option for customising Chucks with other Sanrio characters.
Converse's own copy calls My Melody super sweet and Kuromi rebellious, and says that despite their differences they share an unbreakable bond.
In this case the bond is a shared shoe.
