Cartoons and animation are important communication tools, as a medium that combines humour, entertainment, and important messages in an easily digestible way understandable by both the young and the young at heart. I mean, who hasn’t laughed and cried while watching a Toy Story film right?
And if you’ve been binge-watching your favourite animated films or series while stuck at home, then you’ll probably be excited to know that some of your favourite sportswear brands have launched sneakers featuring some of the most iconic animated characters around! Read on to find out more.
adidas
You probably wouldn’t have to actually visit Disneyland to recognise this world-famous mouse. To pay homage to the Zodiac Year of The Rat, adidas has launched 2 stylish sneakers in their Alphaboost and Superstar styles featuring Mickey Mouse!
from Left to right: ALPHABOOST DISNEY HYPE SHOES ($200), DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE SUPERSTAR SHOES ($180).
They say that we never really outgrow our childhood pals, and now we can have them by our side every day with these adidas sneakers! Also, do note that while the Alphaboost sneakers are sold out for the moment, you can leave your email address details on its product page so you’ll be the first to know when they’re back in stock! Or as Mickey himself would say, “See ya real soon!”
Converse
Jeepers! Every child’s beloved mystery-solving gang has found their way into one of our favourite casual sneaker brands of all time! Welcome into this collection are five Converse sneakers redesigned to feature Scooby and gang, the Mystery Machine, and creepy ghouls!
Converse x Scooby-Doo Glow-in-the-dark Chuck Taylor All Star (USD 65).
Our favourite of the lot would have to be the Converse x Scooby-Doo Chuck Taylor All Star that comes furnished with a spooky glow in the dark feature for an extra touch of fun.
Again, thanks to some meddling kids, this collection is sold out on Converse’s official US Site, but they’ve also made it known that they’ll be restocking the collection soon. So, do bookmark the product pages of the styles you’re keen on to not miss your chance to get one of these… or all five.

Reebok
Pixar’s iconic dynamic duo from Toy Story — Woody and Buzz Lightyear, have taken over Reebok’s Instapump Fury! This long-awaited sneaker created in collaboration with Japanese cult retailer BAIT, highlights specific details and unmistakable colourways accurate to each character.
Launched as a pair of aptly mismatched sneakers, you’ll find Buzz Lightyear on your left foot and Woody on your right, so you wouldn’t have to choose favourites between the two.
Unfortunately, these adorable sneakers are only available in-stores at BAIT’s Tokyo and Osaka outlets. So phone a Japanese friend/pen-pal/long-distance lover/or a childhood pal on university exchange if you must get your hands on a pair! Or, you can simply head over to luxury resale site StockX where you can snag one now at USD 549.
