On the heels of Disney and Lululemon’s first-ever collaboration, another activewear brand has teamed with the media empire on a Disney-inspired collection. This time, it’s from Actively Black, and draws inspiration from Africa’s vibrant culture and the upcoming feature film, Mufasa: The Lion King.
This drop marks the second collaboration between Disney and the sportswear brand, following the 2022 collection with Marvel Studios for the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (with a few styles and sizes still in stock). The limited-edition Disney Mufasa: The Lion King x Actively Black capsule is available to shop now at activelyblack.com.
