The standout addition to this year’s lineup is the Rapunzel-themed shoe, which reflects the vibrant purple and gold colors of the Tangled star. Design elements include her signature sun icon and floral patterns that fans will recognize from the film. This shoe is built on the Brooks Ghost 16 platform, known for providing a smooth and balanced ride for runners of all levels. It offers a reliable option for those tackling the 5K, 10K, or the full half-marathon distance.

Other Disney Princesses also have a place in this new release. The Moana design features a bubbling water-inspired path, while the Belle model uses yellow and red roses. Each pair of shoes combines the technical features Brooks is known for with the storytelling of Disney. This ensures that the footwear is not just a collector’s item but a functional tool for training and racing.

Guests who want to buy these shoes should plan their visit to the expo on Thursday, February 26. Disney typically uses a virtual queue system through the My Disney Experience app to manage the high demand for Brooks footwear. You should check the official runDisney blog for the specific times the virtual queue opens each morning. These shoes are usually sold exclusively at the race expo and often sell out before the weekend ends.

Bringing these characters to life on a running shoe adds an extra layer of excitement to the training process. Whether you are a fan of Rapunzel or another iconic princess, the 2026 collection provides a way to carry that inspiration through every mile. Make sure to have your app ready and arrive early at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to secure your preferred size and style.
