Nixon and Mickey Mouse
Brand: Nixon
Collaboration w/: Mickey Mouse (Disney)
Key Features: Mickey, der…. The details put into the pieces when designing are very nicely (and subtly) done. Would have been easy to whore it out all over the joint.
You Should Buy:
– The Sentry Leather in Black
– The Time Teller in Gold
– Arrow Leather in Gold/Black
The mouse turns 90 this year, so expect a shit ton of these collaborations and projects to see the light of day. This one tho, between Nixon and Mickey Mouse is one I am here for. No surf watches here just nice, smarter timepieces on offer.
Given Nixon already have a partnership with Disney (see Star Wars) it was probably a no-brainer to do something with Mickey. And while it would have been pretty easy to whore the mouse out in a wild way, I think lead designer Joe B delivered a nice balance between in your face and subtle details.
Even the CMKY yardage print is neat – yeah it’s bright AF, but it’s still pleasant enough to get away with. Just don’t go mixing up a whole bunch of colors while rocking a CMYK piece.
