Woody and Jessie are stepping out of the toy box and onto feet thanks to a new Adidas Samba collab tied to Toy Story 5. The latest Disney x Adidas project turns two of Pixar’s most beloved characters into wearable, everyday pairs aimed squarely at millennial and Gen Z nostalgia.
According to official images, the Woody pair leans into tan, blue and yellow with rope‑style laces and cow‑print detailing that nods to his sheriff outfit, while Jessie’s design plays with red, white and denim textures plus small graphic hits tied to her look. Both Sambas carry subtle Toy Story branding rather than loud character art, keeping them more lifestyle‑friendly than costume‑y. Complex has detailed photos and release info for both colourways here.
The collab extends the Samba’s mainstream run while giving Disney another way to reach fans who grew up with the original films and now buy character pieces for themselves or their kids. It also shows how deep Adidas is willing to go on storytelling with a single silhouette, using colour blocking and tiny references to communicate each character.

For sneakerheads, the Woody and Jessie pairs hit that sweet spot between playful and wearable, especially for people already into themed Sambas and heritage collabs. Complex’s write‑up positions them as part of a broader wave of IP‑driven releases around Toy Story 5, meaning they’re likely to sit alongside more apparel and footwear drops as the movie campaign ramps up.
