Disney x Gucci
Last year, Gucci’s Three Little Pigs collection was a huge success. This year, they return with a Mickey Mouse collection. (Does anyone have the heart to tell Gucci that Mickey isn’t a street rat?) This collection highlights Mickey Mouse monogram tracksuits (Gucci=tracksuits), bags, coats and Mickey printed on their popular Rhyton sneakers. Shop online at Gucci’s official site.

Nike’s Year of Rat Chinese New Year Collection
Nike redesigns classic staples like the Air Max 1, Air Jordan 13, Air Force 1 and Air Max 90, along with newer models like the Air Jordan 34, Kyrie 6 and Air Max 720, using the ancient Chinese technique of Yuxian paper-cutting. This creates a nice blend between the patterns and their signature swoosh. Rat-embossed? No, but you still want them. Get this collection at your local Nike store.
