Adidas and Pixar’s “Toy Story” franchise are hardly strangers, with semifrequent collaborations dating back to 2019’s release of “Toy Story 4.” Now, with a new film around the corner next month, the sportswear brand is teaming back up with the animation studio for a three-sneaker collection which includes a nod to the franchise’s beloved astronaut, Buzz Lightyear.
In a trio of intricately detailed styles connected to the film, it’s the Toy Story x Adidas Adistar Control 5 Buzz Lightyear that is getting the most attention so far. Using Adidas’ on-trend Adistar Control 5 2000s running shoe as its base, the Buzz Lightyear-branded pair dons the character’s signature white, lime green and purple color combination. “Lightyear” branding appears on the tongue, while a “Space Ranger” badge is featured on the heel.
But what may be the most alluring feature of the Buzz Lightyear Adistar Control 5 is a detail that will only be found on smaller-sized pairs. On kid’s sizes, the midsole and heel of the shoe feature green and purple LED lights which can be powered on and off with the touch of a button at the heel.

Along with the Buzz Lightyear style, the upcoming “Toy Story 5”-timed collection includes a Samba Jane for Jessie and a more traditional Samba for Woody.
Originally released in 2008, the Adistar Control 5 was reintroduced by Adidas in January. Collaborations thus far have been scarce, but most notably, the shoe was redesigned by Cincinnati retailer Unheardof for its popular Piggy Runner series.
With “Toy Story 5” set to arrive in theaters on June 19, the latest Toy Story x Adidas collection lands at retail a few days earlier on June 6. The Buzz Lightyear Adistar Control 5 will be available in full family sizing with prices ranging from to $65 to $130. The sneaker’s adult style code is LA3965.
