M.O.A. is bringing a little Disney magic to its spring ’16 collection.
The Italian footwear brand — whose name stands for Master of Arts — is partnering with the entertainment giant on a special capsule of adult sneakers featuring Mickey Mouse.

The collection, which will debut at retail in December, takes a pop-art approach to the classic animated character, using bold graphic prints and appliqués. The offering includes several tennis, running and slip-on sneaker styles.
“As a brand MOA celebrates art in all its forms and, as animation is art in motion and, as Mickey Mouse is a legendary character in the minds of virtually every citizen of the world, we wanted to challenge ourselves and see whether we could combine the two aspects and create a modern sneaker with a vintage character that would make fans happy but at the same time feel grown up,” said Matteo Tugliani, CEO, on the collaboration.
