Sweaters, backpacks, long sleeved shirts and socks are also a part of this new collection. Find it at Vans, Tilly's and Journeys with prices ranging fom $65-$95 for adult sizes.

Mickey Mouse 90th Anniversary Vans Collection

The Mickey 90th Anniversary merchandise is everywhere and I love it! Today Vans released their contribution with the Mickey Mouse 90th Anniversary collection and it is perfect!

There are 8 different styles available for both kids and adults including Hi-SK8, classic, and slip on, as well as Disney patterns you can use to customize your own pair.

It's really hard for me to choose a favorite! They are some really awesome designs that really allow you to show off your Disney side. But of course I did find a pair (or two) to purchase :)

The collection ranges in price from $65-$75 for adult shoes (excluding customs) and is available at Vans, Zumiez, Tilly's and Journeys. I would definitely recommend buying sooner rather than later if you're interested as these will sell out.

Black Panther Vans

A few weeks back, I posted about the new Marvel Vans collection that was recently released. I loved so many pairs but narrowed it down to one that I decided was a must-have. They've now arrived and I wanted to show them off and review them.

Every collection Vans releases always has the most amazing packaging! I love the comic strip box my shoes came in:

Hopefully you can see in the picture below (you can click to make it bigger) that even the paper inside the box was Marvel! No part of the packaging is spared from themed detail:

My pick was the Black Panther Hi-Tops. I chose them because I loved the Black Panther movie, I think these shoes were designed really well, I wanted another pair of hi-tops, and Black Panther merch isn't something you see all that often.

As you can see, the shoes are almost entirely black, but the different materials give some tone to the color.

The top three shoelace holes on both sides of the shoe are gold and styled after the neckline of Black Panther's suit. You can see from the above picture that the shoes are black suede, with more of a leather look down the side that looks exactly like the material of Black Panther's suit.

This side view gives a closer look at the suit type material on the shoe. Even the Vans signature stripe down the side is patterned and reminds me of the Dora Milaje. You can see that the rubber all around the shoe's sole is also patterned in Wakanda style.

I am thrilled with my purchase and absolutely in love with these shoes! The design is stunning and I was impressed that despite all the detail and licensing, these shoes cost just $10.00 more than the same style of regular Vans. Well worth the money!

New Marvel Vans Collection Launches Today

Queue the Avengers music - Vans has launched a new Marvel collection featuring some of your favorite Avengers (and more!) and it's available now at a reasonable price. There are numerous shoe styles to choose from including: lace ups, canvas slip-ons, flip flops and high tops, for men, women and kids. You can even customize your own pair with a few Marvel prints.

Some of the characters with their own styles include: The Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Black Panther, and Deadpool. There are also clothing items and accessories available in the Marvel collection, from t-shirts, long sleeved tees and hoodies, to backpacks and lunch totes.

Shoes range from $65-$75 for adult sizes, or $24-$40 for flip flops, with Customs starting at $95. You can purchase items from the Marvel collection online and in-store at Vans, Zumiez, Tillys, Pacsun and Journeys, who also have a Thanos slip-on exclusive that I think is awesome!

I adore this collection and love so many items! I could buy several pairs of shoes and love the Captain Marvel style even though I wouldn't buy them for myself. My top favorites are the Black Panther high tops, Spider-Man canvas slip-ons, Deadpool high tops, and Black Widow slip-ons. I also adore the Spider-Man long sleeve tee, Marvel icons lunch tote and women's comic hoodie. I wish I could buy it all!

If you are interested in making a purchase from this collection - don't delay! Expect this collection to sell out fast!

My New Toy Story Vans!

I posted about the new Toy Story Vans collection the day it was released and the very next day I went to my local Vans store to pick up a pair. They didn't have the style I wanted in my size, but I was able to order online and have them shipped to my home for free. I could have bought half the shoes in this collection, but as you'd expect, they're not cheap and I only bought one pair. Can you guess which?

My top two favorites were the shoes that look like Buzz's feet and the shoes that looked like Woody's boots. I figured I would get more opportunities to wear Woody's boots, so that's what I went with.

Can you see the clouds in the tissue paper?

The outside of the shoes are leather with a cactus stitches in to the sides, just like Woody's boots. The insides of the shoe represent Woody's shirt and vest:

And of course, Andy is written on the sole of the right shoe - just like Woody! I am so in love with these Vans! They are incredible! The price was a little more than I usually pay for Vans, but these are real leather and so worth it! I'm glad I didn't hesitate based on how quickly this collection sold out.

New Toy Story Vans Collection Released Today

A new Toy Story Vans collection has been released today at several retail outlets. This collaboration brings 10 different shoe styles (one style not pictured above) including: Woody's boots, Buzz's shoes, Andy's toys, Bo Beep, the Aliens (which glow in the dark), Sid's toys, and more. The collection offers baby, kids and adult sizes and also offers accompanying apparel and accessories.

Possibly the most awesome thing about these shoes is that the right foot has "Andy" written on the bottom! Adult sizes range in price from $60 to $85. You can find this collection at Vans, Journeys, Pacsun, Zumiez, Tillys, and Zappos. If you're wanting anything from this line, I would highly recommend that you buy it FAST! The collection was released only today and yet many locations have already sold out of several sizes. If previous Disney Vans releases are anything to go by, sold out stock will not be replenished. Don't be disappointed!

New Disney Vans Collection

On October 9, the new Disney Vans collection will be released, featuring 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, and Alice in Wonderland. I am super excited for the Alice in Wonderland slip-ons!

The collection will have a mix of lace up, high top, and slip-on shoes for women, men, and kids. There will also be accessories in the series such as backpacks, socks, hats and t-shirts.

The new Disney Collection will be available online and in-store at Vans, Journeys, and Tilly's. The previous Disney Collection released in June was also carried at Zumiez, Nordstrom and Zappos.

I wouldn't wait too long to pick up your favorite pair, as when these are gone, they're gone. I will definitely be picking up the Alice in Wonderland Vans!
