What's Dropping
Absolutely Ridiculous released their first Pixar Cars collaboration on September 5, 2026. The highlight was the Lightning McQueen Hybrid Sliding Mitt, designed for youth athletes. The collection also included arm and leg guards, but the youth sliding mitt was the main focus due to its unique crossover appeal.
The mitt features a patent-pending hybrid system with an angled hand slot and elastic zipper closure. This design allows for quick wear while maintaining stability. The Disney and Pixar Cars branding makes it a standout piece for young fans of the franchise.
When & Where
The drop went live at 2:00 PM ET on September 5, 2026 via the Absolutely Ridiculous website. The youth sliding mitt had a retail price of $74.99. Initial stock appeared limited, with our team estimating around 94 units available at launch.
Checkout did not require an account, making it easier for buyers to secure their pairs quickly. The cart limit was set at 1-2 items per customer.
The Play
This was a high-potential drop due to the niche but passionate fanbase of both Absolutely Ridiculous and Pixar Cars. The youth sliding mitt was the clear priority, as it combined functional sports gear with beloved character branding.
Initial stock moved rapidly. Within minutes, our team reported less than 50 units remaining. The standard size sold out first at 2:03 PM ET, followed by the youth size at 2:04 PM ET. By 2:04 PM ET, all products were out of stock except for a few remaining youth elbow guards.
Resale Outlook
Our team estimates the youth sliding mitt will resell for around $110. This represents solid upside from the $74.99 retail price. The quick sellout and unique Disney collaboration suggest strong demand in the secondary market.
The 30-day return policy (with buyer-paid shipping) provides some flexibility for resellers. However, given the speed of the sellout, those who secured pairs likely won't need to worry about returns.
