Brooks and runDisney are Back with a Wish-Fulfilling, Honey-Dripping Spring Collection

Inside the sneaker industry and out, Disney is one of pop culture’s most frequent and willing collaborators. Candy, clothing, cookware, sponges, you name it, you can get it with Mickey Mouse’s face on it. At Brooks, though, the Disney connection has been a constant and detailed trip through classic characters from every corner of the Magic Kingdom.

On its latest batch of bright, personality-printed running shoes, Brooks and runDisney are lacing up new colorways inspired by Aladdin’s Genie (RIP fashion god Robin Williams) and Winnie the Pooh. The Winnie the Pooh Ghost 17 is covered in honey yellow mesh with a honeycomb print on the side panel logo and a Pooh graphic on one heel and a Tigger graphic on the other.

For the Aladdin Glycerin 23, Genie’s bright blue glow takes over the mesh upper, while the gold of his jewelry is added to the stacked midsole. The side panel logo is a gradient mix of gold and blue with Disney’s classic star graphics in the middle. With this pair, a PR won’t just be a wish.

The runDisney x Brooks Springtime Surprise Collection will be released at the Springtime Surprise race weekend expo beginning today, April 16, 2026. In addition to the Aladdin and Winnie the Pooh pairs, a restock of previously released runDisney x Brooks shoes is expected.
