Brooks and runDisney are back with another magical collab, and this time, it’s tailor-made for princess fans. The iconic duo just dropped a new line of sneakers featuring Belle, Moana, and Rapunzel, available online now. But don’t wait until the clock strikes midnight: inventory is moving fast.
Each style comes in a classic Brooks silhouette — the Ghost 17, Glycerin 23, and Adrenaline GTS 25 — and while you’ll find a little extra pixie dust sprinkled throughout, these kicks deliver the same comfort and performance Brooks is known for (and what our editors swear by). It makes running from one park to another feel as effortless as gliding in a royal carriage.
This special collection launched in coordination with the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, held late last month. Brooks and runDisney have also rolled out other themed releases for past races, including Chip ‘n Dale, Stitch, and Mickey Mouse sneakers (which you can browse below). In the past, snagging a pair of these special-edition runDisney x Brooks sneakers meant zooming to the Expo center. Now, the magic has gone digital and you can grab them virtually in limited quantities.
RunDisney weekends have been a fan favorite since 1994, featuring 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and full marathons through the Disney parks. Participants come from all over the world, often returning year after year, wearing creative costumes and snapping photos with characters along the way. Some races even feature a curated menu, like the upcoming Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.

To put these princess-powered Brooks to the test, I hit one of the recent races, and they did not disappoint. Every mile felt effortless, with zero pain, zero blisters, and only cloud-like comfort beneath my feet. It was like flying to Neverland: floating through the course with ease, ending with a coveted Pluto medal I proudly wore around the parks for the rest of the day.
Outside the Disney parks, these sneakers shine just as much. Whether you’re a competitive runner, a casual jogger, or someone who just enjoys a slow walk, these Brooks rise to the occasion. After my first run, I became a lifelong fan.
The runDisney x Brooks collection starts at $170 and caps at $185, grab your pair before they vanish faster than Genie into a lamp.
