Iconic Cartoon Skater Sneakers

These Disney-Themed Vans Sneakers are a Classic Pair

Disney-themed products have managed to remain updated and stay current through countless generations. These Disney-printed Vans combine the iconic and lovable prints of some Disney’s most popular cinematographic moments from several of the famous cartoon films.

The most popular Vans skate sneaker, the Sk8-Hi and the Authentic, feature Disney-themed mash-up prints of Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Donald Duck. The Sk8-Hi sneakers come in either red or blue with the back portion of the shoe covered in either a black and white Mickey Mouse print, or a technicolor Donald Duck print. The Authentic sneakers come with a Disney print featured across the entire shoe. My favorite pair are the Vans Authentic sneakers in blue with tiny yellow Winnie the Poohs. A youthfully nostalgic team-up, I’m glad Disney opened its vault to the Vans sneaker brand.
