Hello Kitty is back with another adidas collaboration, following her friendly takeover of the Superstars, Stan Smiths and Forum Low.

This time, the welcome addition comes in the form of a platform-soled Forum Bonega, complete with Hello Kitty and her friends Purin and Kiki. Boasting a white and off-white leather upper, the sneaker features subtle hits of soft pink, complete with colorful overlays and meshing of materials. Featuring a soft, synthetic fabric across its midfoot, the sneaker sees Hello Kitty and Friends detailing throughout.

The standout element of the collaboration's design is undoubtedly the unique lacing system. Attached to the shoe's signature white laces is a TPU chain in a rosy pink which features a distinctive Hello Kitty bow charm. To complete the design, the Forum features pink lining, rounded out by a sock-liner adorned with Hello Kitty's Sanrio friends.

At present, the Hello Kitty and Friends x adidas Forum Bonega is available for purchase via retailers like atmos, priced at ¥15,400 JPY (approx. $115 USD).
