The 2026 runDisney Springtime Surprise Brooks Shoe Collection
Glycerin 23 Genie — $185
This is the premium pick of the bunch. The Glycerin 23 takes inspiration from the magic lamp, with metallic finishes on the outsole and starry graphics running along the midsole path. Genie himself is featured on the heel.
Available in men’s sizes 7–15 and women’s sizes 5–12. Wide widths available for both (subject to availability).
Ghost 17 Winnie the Pooh — $170
One of the two new duo-inspired designs for this event. Tigger is featured on the left shoe, Pooh on the right. Honeycomb path detailing and honey pot accents run throughout. Based on the “Winnie the Pooh” works by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard.
Available in men’s sizes 7–15 and women’s sizes 5–12. Wide widths available for both (subject to availability).
Ghost 17 Chip ‘n’ Dale — $170
The second new duo design. Black stitching on the left shoe represents Chip, red stitching on the right represents Dale. A fuzzy tongue and fur-textured Brooks path add character detail throughout. It’s subtle but clever.
Available in men’s sizes 7–15 and women’s sizes 5–12. Wide widths available for both (subject to availability).
Ghost 17 Mickey Mouse — $170
A returning style from the core runDisney lineup. This one features a contrasting color palette with 3D details, including a tufted Mickey Mouse silhouette on the heel and a raised knit Brooks path on the side. Finished with Mickey’s signature.

The purchase limit on Day 1 is 2 pairs per design per adult purchaser — that’s a maximum of 10 pairs total. All styles will be on display throughout the Expo before they go on sale.

Which Shoe Is Worth It?
