Saori Kimura Produces Disney Volleyball T-Shirt

02.June.2021 | FASHION

Japanese former professional volleyball player Saori Kimura has teamed up with HER7 to release two special volleyball-themed t-shirts in collaboration with Mickey & Friends. The tees released on HER ONLINE STORE on May 26.

 

“I’ve loved Mickey since I was a kid,” explains Kimura, “and even now, after becoming an adult, I frequent the Disney Store, so it has been a great honour and made me really happy to produce this.”

 

She continues: “The theme is Mickey and volleyball, so I ummed and ahhed about various things. One thing I really wanted to express was the teamwork that goes into volleyball, so I was able to have an illustration of the Friends on there. The picture is taken to look like everyone getting together to snap a photo after a fun volleyball game.”

 

“Another thing I wanted was for Mickey Mouse to be playing volleyball. He’s someone loved by people around the world. He’s doing a blocking pose. (He looks happy, like he’s saying, ‘I did it!’).”

 

“Both types capture the fun you can have in volleyball, so I really like them!”

Both t-shirts feature an apple logo specially designed by Kimura.

 

The Mickey & Friends design comes in two colours – khaki and sand beige. They are available in six sizes: M, L, and XL for adults and 110, 130, and 150 for kids.

 

The Mickey design comes in two colours – charcoal and grey. They are available in seven sizes: S, M, L, and XL for adults and 110, 130, and 150 for kids.

Both tees are oversized as designed by Kimura.
