As part of the collaboration, New Balance becomes the official athletic shoe of Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, the companies said in a press release.

New Balance added that it has created a men’s and women’s limited edition “runDisney 860v3” running shoe that “captures the spirit of two favorite Disney characters - Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse,” the release said.

With a global headcount of more than 4,000 employees, New Balance reported 2011 sales of $2.04 billion.
