Last year, so-called ugly sneakers took the fashion world by storm, captivating consumers with over-the-top chunky styles and unconventional silhouettes, finishes and colors—now, Reebok and BAIT are introducing an offbeat pair of Toy Story sneakers.
To coincide with the launch of the latest animated film to join the beloved franchise, Reebok and BAIT unveiled a mismatching sneaker pair with designs based on Toy Story characters Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody. While one sneaker boasts sci-fi details, the other contrasting style resembles a spotted cow hide with other accents that reference Woody's yellow shirt and denim pants.
The limited-edition Toy Story 4 sneakers offer a fun and nostalgic take on the popular Instapump Fury model by Reebok.
