Um... I'm not sure guys would want to wear shoes or shirt with ribbons... Design wise I'm okay with it, but I think they just can't mix Hello Kitty with male-oriented products.

Hmm...I don't think there are many men that are even the slightest bit aware of Hello Kitty, let alone interested in the franchise. Then again, what's wrong with wearing a few ribbons? Razz

That hoodie looks pretty cool actually. I want it for myself, and I think any dude would look good in it. The denim jacket is nice too though I'm not so sure about the shoes.

This product line is hilarious. I wonder how well it's going to fare, but I don't think many guys would want to wear loafers with Hello Kitty's bow on it.

Also, I don't know if it was half-joking or not, but Hello Kitty is tied strongly to western views of Japan, and Sanrio markets Hello Kitty near everywhere, so I'm pretty sure almost everybody has heard of Hello Kitty in some way.

Not in Japan, at least.

Ewww those prices, I bet the shareholders are laughing at everyone who buys those clothes all the way to the bank.
