You…will…be…popular! Aldo Shoes has teamed up with Universal Products & Experiences to launch a chic and magical Wicked x Aldo capsule collection ahead of the highly anticipated release of the Wicked movie. Featuring 33 pieces, the collection pulls inspiration from the beloved Broadway musical and upcoming film, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. The footwear, bags, and accessories play on the iconic color palettes of the characters—Glinda’s soft Wicked Pink and Elphaba’s striking Emerald City Green—capturing the essence of both elegance and mystery.
This collaboration, which combines Aldo’s signature style with Wicked’s unforgettable iconography, is set to make waves in the fashion world. Aldo’s Senior Design Directors, Tara Burner and Enzo Ramacieri, spoke about how they channeled the characters’ personalities into each piece, incorporating details like Glinda’s wand and Elphaba’s potion bottle into the designs.
The results? A dreamy collection featuring everything from casual sneakers like the Hisroyalozness to the bold, embellished Wizomania smoking slippers, plus the iconic Spellbinding heels inspired by Glinda’s wand.
Aldo’s commitment to detail shines through with the intricate designs, such as the Spellbinding heels, which took multiple rounds of prototyping to perfect, and the Takeflight platform sandals that offer both comfort and drama with integrated Pillow Walk technology.
The collection is now live and available for purchase, with some exclusive custom pieces, like the hybrid heels Ariana Grande wore on Saturday Night Live, giving fans a taste of the magic. Get ready to shop these bewitching styles before they fly off the shelves.
