‘Better than ever’: Sell out Aldi range returns once again

A popular range that sold out last year at one of the country’s biggest supermarket chains has returned once again.

A popular range that sold out last year at one of the country’s biggest supermarket chains has returned once again.

Last year, Aldi released a streetwear collection as part of its Special Buys range. Half of the range sold out within the first day of release.

That range has returned once again with 29 pieces, and will hit stores on April 9. There is a brand new kids range, with items ranging between $4.99 and $20.

The most popular styles from the 2024 range that are returning in 2025 include the fleece tracksuits, umbrellas and hats.

Last year, Aldi released a streetwear collection as part of its Special Buys range. Half of the range sold out within the first day of release.

“Our debut ALDImania collection was a massive hit with our ALDIcore shoppers last year, with the limited-edition range flying off the shelves. Due to its incredible popularity, we’re thrilled to announce that the collection is making a grand return, bigger and better than ever,” an Aldi spokesperson told news.com.au.

“There are even more ways for shoppers to show how Good Different they are with this year’s ALDImania range, with the introduction of new merch in ALDI’s signature colours.

“The new clogs will offer a stylish foot forward at home, the beach, on the school run or for the weekly grocery shop. And as being fashionable is thirsty work, the new Insulated Cups will offer a chic hydration accessory for strolls up and down the middle aisle.”

Last year, the budget retailer released a streetwear collection comprised of 23 items, all under $20, which launched to huge crowds.

While the collection included a T-shirt that comes in grey or white, priced at $7.99, as well as a grey sweatshirt, a navy hoodie and matching trackpants all retailing at $14.99, there was one item that really had shoppers in a spin.

That range has returned once again with 29 pieces, and will hit stores on April 9.

But it was the $19.99 “Aldimania” sneakers that proved popular among the Australians who headed into stores early on Saturday.

The white shoes feature a colourful Aldi logo on the back with the lace eyelets matching the rainbow design.

“These are so cute, I must have,” one said.

“Running to Aldi right now,” shared someone else.

“Need these,” mused one, as someone else said: “I bought them, they’re so comfy.”

Meanwhile other shoppers shared videos of themselves queuing outside their local store in anticipation of the launch, which also included socks, a bucket hat, beanie, slides and a compact umbrella.

But not everyone was a fan of Aldi’s new merch, with some sharing their surprise at the popularity.

“When these came out in the catalogue I thought it was an April fools joke. Low-key want the tracksuit though,” one shopper said.

Another said: “People are actually buying these.”
