Yep, These New Disney Vans Sneakers Will Sell Like Crazy
Remember Vans's collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum earlier this month? Of course, the artsy sneakers promptly sold out, and we have a feeling the cult SoCal brand's next partnership will see similar success. In honor of Mickey Mouse's 90th anniversary, Vans teamed up with Disney on a collection of sneakers and T-shirts that officially launches on August 28.
The Vans website offers a sneak peek at the sure-to-be-covetable collab, which was designed by four different artists who reimagined the brand's cult OG Ski-Hi LX Sneakers in their own unique way. Tattoo artist Mister Cartoon, for instance, had a very specific inspiration: "I wanted to put [Mickey Mouse] in the American dream. In a '57 convertible, rolling down the street," he explained, per Vans's website. Meanwhile, artist Taka Hayashi had a different vision for his iteration: "Mickey is going through the California adventure … flying through the landscapes of California, whether it's the desert or just in a surreal kind of realm."
Scroll down to preview the collection while we wait until the August 28 launch date.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
