The Converse Chuck 70 Hi Hello Kitty Swarovski Egret is a collaboration between Converse, the Hello Kitty character, and crystal specialist Swarovski. This is a high-top Chuck 70 in an off-white egret colorway, with Swarovski crystal embellishments integrated into the design. The retail price is $200.
The upper combines that clean egret canvas base with Hello Kitty branding and Swarovski crystal details scattered across the shoe. The crystals catch light and add visible sparkle to what would otherwise be a standard Chuck 70 canvas construction. If you’re familiar with the Chuck 70 silhouette, you know it keeps the thicker vintage midsole and updated cushioning compared to the standard Chuck Taylor All Star, along with a reinforced toe cap and slightly more structured ankle collar.
This is pretty straightforward as far as what you’re getting: a recognizable sneaker silhouette with character licensing and crystal inlays that make it read as more of a collectible or statement piece than a daily beater. The Hello Kitty and Swarovski elements will appeal to people who actually care about those properties, while the Chuck 70 base means you’re still wearing a functional high-top if the novelty wears off. The egret colorway keeps things relatively neutral compared to what you might expect from a character collaboration, which probably helps it work in more contexts.
At $200 retail, you’re paying a significant premium over a standard Chuck 70 for the licensing and crystal work. How much that matters depends on how much you value the collaboration itself.
