Vans x Disney | Pixar

Standout Features:

• Minimal cacti
• Vertical typeface
• A warm color palette

We end our best shoe brand designs list with a personal project devoted to an iconic trio – Renan Araujo is behind this exciting concept for the Vans X Disney | Pixar collaboration.

The soulful exercise project markets Vans’ shoes devoted to Toy Story. It mimics and replicates the cactus outline on the shoe’s side into a minimal cacti illustration joined by a circular visual that represents the sun.

These visuals decorate the background and contribute to the warm color palette that reflects the shoe’s color. The all-white typeface features short, two-word taglines. The words are positioned vertically, subtly “hovering” between the shoes. Check out our article on best brand designs.
