adidas is continuing the Disney anniversary celebrations with a new vegan silhouette that features the iconic mouse couple, Mickey and Minnie. Mickey's gloved hand forms a heart shape on either side of the heels, while the medials feature gilded "SAMBA" lettering over the familiar Three Stripes branding. The cartoon mascot covers the tongue label, showcasing a cheeky grin next to the adidas branding.
Minnie Mouse's iteration is similar in nature, boasting a vegan white leather base, tinted medial decorations, model-specific motifs, and red adidas tongue prints. Finally, Minnie’s hand complements the heel counters in a heart formation accented by her polka-dotted bows.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse's new vegan leather shoes will be available on the adidas website starting April 27.
