Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sports giant Adidas have joined forces with Disney to produce their next range of footwear, apparel and sporting accessories that feature well-known Disney characters, this time featuring the faces of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, and Goofy.
Adidas and Disney had previously worked together on Disney-themed sportswear, notably in 1983 when Goofy appeared on a selection of shoes and jackets, as well as in 2006 with another retro-referencing child-friendly shoe that came with a range of soft pens intended to allow owners to color in their pair of sneakers.
This time, Mickey and Minnie Mouse are the collection's main characters, which includes t-shirts, bags, caps and socks. Adidas have said that the Spring/Summer range should hit retail towards the end of December 2009 or at the start of January 2010, with prices ranging from €10 (~$15) for an infant's t-shirt up to €55 (~$80) for a pair of Mickey or Minnie sports shoes.
