Step into the Upside Down…fashionably. To celebrate the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, Aldo has released a limited-edition capsule collection that merges Hawkins’ supernatural charm with the brand’s signature polish. The Stranger Things x Aldo collection, available now online and in stores, features 18 pieces inspired by the bold, eclectic energy of the 1980s. Think retro lace-ups straight out of an arcade, Hellfire Club sneakers fit for a D&D night, and statement accessories layered with Easter eggs from the series.

Every design hides a wink to die-hard fans—like tiny Dungeons & Dragons dice, cassette tape charms, and nods to Hawkins landmarks—making each piece feel like a stylish artifact from the Stranger Things universe.
According to Amanda Amar, Aldo’s VP of Global Brand Strategy, Social Media and PR, the capsule was designed to capture the heart of the show’s nostalgic aesthetic while staying true to Aldo’s design DNA.
“The beauty really is in the details,” Amar told FN. “Each piece includes unexpected nods to Hawkins High, the Upside Down, and the show’s characters, transforming them into covetable items that celebrate individuality and fandom.”
There are 11 pairs of shoes in the line-up including designs for both men and women — each packed with clever nods to the show. Whether you’re looking for heels, sneakers, or hiking boots you’ll find something for your next ‘80’s-inspired adventure in this collection.

The collection also includes an assortment of accessories, like the Friendsdontlie handbag ($75) , the Cityofhawkinss handbag ($80), covered in nostalgic patches—a demogorgon head, a cassette tape, and even a waffle. There’s also a collectible set of enamel pins ($30) and bag charms.
