With a focus on playful retro design details, the first iteration of the Disney x Aldo 100 Anniversary Collection, titled Disney x Aldo: Mickey and Friends, includes a joyful assortment of footwear, handbags, and accessories that feature novelty branding and bespoke prints, Aldo and Disney said in a joint press release.
The 23-piece specialty capsule celebrates classic cartoon characters, also known as Disney’s Mickey and Friends—Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck. Through a blend of nostalgia and charm, this collection comes on the heels of the back-to-school season, to help customers refresh their Fall wardrobe with statement-making pieces that offer both casual and glam looks. In a first for a Disney x Aldo product assortment, nearly all of the collection’s footwear pieces feature Aldo’s signature Pillow Walk Technology, adding a double layer of cushion comfort.
“This collection is the perfect blend of nostalgia, charm, and whimsy, that perfectly encapsulates Disney. From Mickey and Minnie-inspired bespoke mirror-prints, to hidden winks of the iconic ears on pull tabs, pouches, and hardware, this collection is truly special and speaks to the Disney-lover in all of us,” said Daianara Grullon Amalfitano, chief Aldo brand and product officer. “Our Disney capsules are always a fan-favourite with our customers, and we’re so excited to be launching this limited-edition collection in partnership with Disney to celebrate their 100 magical years.”
These two drops in the collection will mark the 6th and 7th Disney x Aldo collaboration, with previous capsule launches including the beloved Cinderella Collection and the Princess Collection, among others since the start of the partnership in 2019.
The Disney x Aldo 100th Anniversary Collection’s Fall drop is available both online and in Aldo stores. The second iteration of the Disney x Aldo 100th Anniversary Collection will be launching later in 2023.
