Aldo has teamed up with four artists on a new limited-edition collection.

Dubbed the Aldo Artist Series, the 16-piece capsule collection includes the brand’s low-top sneakers featuring its signature Pillow Walk insoles as well as structured handbags with playful charms and graphic T-shirts.  

Each piece features custom artwork from one of the four creators, which include Timothy Goodman from New York, Hyperthalamuscorp from Mumbai, Dina Sami from Dubai and Whatisadam from Montreal.

For Amanda Amar, vice president of global brand strategy for social media and PR at Aldo, the goal for this collaboration was to create something rooted in diversity, not only in the artists’ backgrounds, but in their creative perspectives.

“Our goal with the Aldo Artist Series was to celebrate the power of self-expression through wearable art,” Amar told FN in an exclusive interview. “We set out to create a collection that connects people across cultures through themes of growth, creativity, and positivity—values that feel especially relevant today. Each piece in the collection reflects a deeply personal vision while contributing to a unified message: that fashion can be both meaningful and expressive. From bold graphics to symbolic details and custom packaging, the entire experience is designed to inspire and uplift our customers.”

Amar noted that Aldo worked with LNDMRK, an agency known for championing global talent, to help us curate a roster that could speak to themes of connection, positivity, and growth – values that guided the company’s decision.

“Each artist was chosen not only for their unique aesthetic, but for how their work could live across sneakers, handbags, and accessories in a way that felt fresh, meaningful, and complimentary to the others,” Amar added.

Daianara Grullon Amalfitano, chief brand and product officer at Aldo, added that projects like these come naturally as the company is “always looking for meaningful ways to champion creativity and connect with our community.”

“This collaboration celebrates global artistry and personal expression, which have always been at the core of what we do at Aldo,” Amalfitano said. “With a long-standing history of supporting the arts, we’re proud to continue that legacy by spotlighting diverse voices from around the world.”

The Aldo Artist Series will be available online and in stores on Aug. 5. Artists will host in-store activations in select regions throughout the launch period, Aldo said.
