Clove is launching a limited edition Toy Story collection on June 17, 2026, featuring four sneaker styles inspired by iconic characters. Designed for healthcare workers, the collection includes footwear based on Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, and the Little Green Aliens, arriving just ahead of the June 19 theatrical release of Toy Story 5.
Which Clove Shoe Styles Are Featured in the Toy Story Collection?
The collection utilizes two of Clove’s established sneaker models, specifically tailored for long shifts. According to Clove, the Woody and Jessie designs are built on the Forte 2 style, while the Buzz and Alien versions are based on the Prima style.
- Forte 2 Styles (Woody and Jessie): These feature slip-resistant outsoles, waterproof construction, and proprietary Cush Foam Formulation for maximum cushioning. They include a vegan leather bumper to prevent creasing, a soft neoprene ankle cuff, and a lace keeper.
- Prima Styles (Buzz and Alien): These models offer mid-level cushioning, stain-proof and fluid-proof SuperClean uppers, and slip-resistant outsoles designed for 12-hour shifts on hard clinical floors.
Design Details for Each Character-Inspired Sneaker
Each shoe incorporates specific visual elements from the films to honor the creativity of healthcare professionals. The Woody Forte 2 replicates the toy’s classic costume with a yellow top, red windowpane lines, black-and-white cow print, and a brown sole. Notably, Bonnie’s name is featured on the bottom of the shoe.
The Jessie Forte 2 focuses on western-inspired details, including a yellow printed collar trim, a belt buckle on the laces, a bow appliqué on the back, and blue detailing on the bottom. The Buzz Prima features a white base with purple laces and green cuffs, accented by faux button details. The Alien Prima is designed with a green body, blue and purple trim, and a planet detail on the side.
Future Trends in Healthcare Footwear Collaborations
The intersection of pop culture and medical-grade footwear represents a growing trend in professional apparel. By merging the technical requirements of a 12-hour nursing shift—such as slip resistance and fluid-proof materials—with recognizable character themes, brands are moving beyond utility to emphasize personal expression in clinical settings.
This approach mirrors broader shifts in the healthcare industry, where organizations increasingly prioritize the mental well-being and morale of staff. Providing comfortable, creative, and “fun” footwear is one way to inject personality into the rigid environment of a hospital or clinic.
