Out of the Box Pop-Up Collabs
From the Dunkin’ Donut x e.l.f. make up line to the latest collab between Waffle House and Adidas who have partnered to launch a limited-time offer (LTO) of the sportswear company’s TOUR360 22 golf shoes, it seems that the unlikeliest of brands are coming together launching LTOs, and most of them via pop-up shops.
As part of the Dior Vibe line, the maison is launching a series of pop-up stores to showcase their sleek new range of sportswear. To add to the pop-up experience, they’ve collaborated with the fitness brand Technogym to release a series of limited-edition sports equipment, ranging from a treadmill and workout bench to an exercise ball, emblazoned with the Dior star.
Here are some other recent unlikely collabs:
- Cheetos and Forever 21
- Lego and Stranger Things
- Vans and Harry Potter
- Sharpie and Nike
