Canadian fashion footwear and accessories brand, Aldo, recently launched the limited-edition Disney x Aldo 100th Anniversary Collection. The exclusive collection, launching in two capsules across the FW23 season, debuted the Fall assortment on August 3, 2023, with the second part of the celebratory collection launching November 2023.

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.
