“Care Bears” Continues Fashion Expansion With New adidas Originals Collection

Care Bears is continuing to prove that the beloved franchise is far more than nostalgia.

As the iconic brand builds momentum toward its 45th anniversary in 2027, Care Bears is once again expanding its fashion footprint—this time teaming with adidas Originals on a new lifestyle collection that brings the colorful world of Care-A-Lot to footwear, apparel and accessories for fans of all ages.

Launching worldwide, the new fall/winter 2026 collection blends adidas Originals’ signature streetwear aesthetic with the cheerful personalities of Care Bears, creating a lineup designed for both longtime fans who grew up with the franchise and a new generation discovering it today. A second spring/summer 2027 collection is already planned, carrying the collaboration straight into the brand’s milestone anniversary celebration.

The footwear lineup reimagines several of adidas Originals’ most recognizable silhouettes with Care Bears flair. The Adilette slide receives one of the collection’s most playful makeovers, complete with a plush Care Bear attached to the strap, while colorways inspired by Cheer Bear, Funshine Bear and Grumpy Bear bring the franchise’s signature personalities to life.

Additional releases include the adiStar Control 5, featuring metallic Three Stripes and embroidered Star Buddy patches, alongside new takes on the Spezial, Samba OG, Campus and Superstar silhouettes. Kids’ styles add even more personality through collectible Care Bears charms, while select Superstar shoes even feature light-up soles.

The collection extends well beyond footwear.

Fans will also find graphic T-shirts, hooded cardigans complete with Care Bears ears, denim jeans featuring Care-A-Lot-inspired patches, matching infant apparel and accessories ranging from faux-fur bucket hats to coordinating bags and socks.

The collaboration represents another major step in Care Bears’ continued evolution beyond toys and entertainment into fashion and lifestyle products. Over the past year, the franchise has continued expanding through collectibles, live experiences, sports partnerships and retail collaborations, reinforcing its place as a multigenerational lifestyle brand ahead of its upcoming 45th anniversary.

With another collection already scheduled for 2027, the partnership signals that Care Bears isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Instead, the iconic characters are continuing to find new ways to connect with fans—whether through entertainment, experiences or now, wardrobes around the world.
