Global footwear and accessories brand ALDO has unveiled a limited-edition Stranger Things x ALDO capsule collection, celebrating Netflix’s hit series as it heads into its fifth and final season. The collaboration fuses the brand’s design sensibilities with the nostalgic world of Hawkins, Indiana, delivering a fashion lineup steeped in 1980s retro flair and pop culture references.

“With Season 4 having reached more than 1.83 billion views worldwide and a 1 ranking in 97 countries, Stranger Things is a cultural phenomenon — making this collaboration a landmark moment for fans and fashion alike,” ALDO said.
Design Details Inspired by Hawkins
The 18-piece collection features a mix of retro lace-up shoes, Hellfire Club–inspired sneakers, and statement accessories. Each item incorporates subtle nods to the show’s universe — from mixtape motifs and Dungeons & Dragons dice to landmarks from Hawkins — transforming the range into a collectible tribute for fans. All footwear in the collection is equipped with ALDO’s signature Pillow Walk technology, providing dual-density cushioning for added comfort.
“This collaboration gave us the opportunity to merge the rich world-building of Stranger Things with ALDO’s passion for innovative design,” said Daianara Grullon Amalfitano, ALDO’s Chief Brand and Product Officer. “The revival of ’80s fashion, paired with the show’s iconic elements, inspired a collection that feels both nostalgic and modern. Every detail — from the packaging to the design accents — was created to be collectible, giving fans a way to express their individuality while carrying a piece of the Stranger Things universe into their everyday style.”
Riding the resurgence of 1980s fashion — driven by the cyclical trend revival, shared nostalgia, and the show’s cultural impact — ALDO’s new capsule encapsulates the decade’s influence while maintaining the brand’s contemporary aesthetic. The collection promises an immersive experience where the storytelling of Stranger Things meets ALDO’s bold and expressive design philosophy.
Launch Dates and Streaming Tie-In
The Stranger Things x ALDO collection launched on October 30, 2025, available both online at ALDOShoes.com and in stores. The release coincides with the premiere of Stranger Things 5, which will debut in three volumes on Netflix: four episodes on November 26, three on December 25, and the finale on New Year’s Eve, each premiering at 5 p.m. PST.
