first look: vans x hello kitty

Hello Kitty has already seen her fair share of really awesome collaborations, but now everyone's favorite cat (sorry, Garfield!) is adding yet another to the list: enter Vans.

The sneaker brand has teamed up with the iconic cartoon on a new collection of shoes in celebration of Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary. With three different designs inspired by her '70s style, the parternship includes the Sk8 Hi-Slim and Authentic sneakers, and comes stamped with a plush cat motif and all-over scribbles.

They're all adorable, but our favorite has to be the Van Doren leopard print mashed up with Hello Kitty's face--hello, best of both worlds!-- featuring a custom checker print bow. Talk about purrr-fection.
