The collection includes six footwear styles featuring artwork of classic characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, as well more recent characters like Stitch and modern princesses such as Moana.

But those with a taste for the wicked won't be feeling left out: the collection also includes sneakers embroidered with images of classic villains like "Lion King's" Scar, "Sleeping Beauty's" Maleficent, "The Little Mermaid's" Ursula and "Aladdin's" Jafar. Flipping Scar's shoe over showcases a neat detail on the bottom: Scar’s face split between the two outsoles.

One other standout of the villainous choices is the pair inspired by "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." The platform sole shoe with red velvet includes as a lace attachment the Evil Queen’s bony hand holding the fruit as well as embossed text on the heel: “Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

If you've got enough sneakers already, the collection also includes a range of apparel and accessories sporting your favorite Disney characters, from bomber jackets to cardigans, hoodies and even backpacks.

The Disney collection will be available Friday at Vans retail locations and at vans.com. Pricing is not yet available.

Fans will also be able to design their own footwear through Vans' customs platform, which includes five prints at vans.com/customs.
