adidas celebrates Chinese New Year with a three-piece pack of footwear arriving in the form of Mickey Mouse sneakers -- featuring the foundation of two iconic silhouettes. The beloved mouse character directly honors the 'Year of the Rat' for the upcoming Lunar New Year.
The character adorns two silhouettes including the Stan Smith and the Superstar. The Stan Smith 3D sneaker features the Disney icon in a 3D visual effect of red and blue graphics throughout the entire uppers. It also comes with a pair of 3D glasses in order to have the full visual experience of the graphics turned into a comic strip. The other two sneakers that make up the collection features a black and white iteration and a more classic option of red and yellow in the classic look of the character.
