Whether you love him as Buzz, the trusty go-to toy from the Toy Story films, or as Buzz, the brave human Space Ranger from his latest escapades in Lightyear, there is no doubt that the sight of his iconic space suit colours splashed across a pair of custom Air Jordan 4 sneakers will stir up excitement. Introducing the Buzz Lightyear x Jordan 4 custom sneakers.
To Infinity and Beyond!
Let’s be honest; we all hold a special place in our hearts for Buzz Lightyear. Yes, he’s now a human Space Ranger, which has given our old friend a new life. Still, Buzz will forever be imprinted in our hearts as the adorable figure from Toy Story. As such, these sneakers speak to us in the language of Buzz the toy.
The upper of this Air Jordan 4 design is covered in smooth leather. However, the top half is light grey, while the bottom is crisp white. The netting covering the shoe’s sides and tongue then matches the light grey leather for a seamless blend.
But, the colour adventure continues. We then get a pop of rich purple and luscious green accents partnered together to echo the recognisable hues of Buzz’s iconic suit. You’ll see the deep purple taking over the eyelets, tongue lining, heel tab, and midsole. Meanwhile, a softer green washes over the inner lining, wing tab, and toe cap, drawing attention to Buzz Lightyear’s signature colours.

Aside from the striking colour palette, you’re sure to notice a variety of distinct decals inspired by the character. These include the legendary ‘Space Ranger’ logo proudly displayed on the tongue and the ‘Lightyear’ branding near the heel. Not to forget the famous Jumpan logo on the heel tab, shooting for the stars in white.
We must confess, we do miss seeing Andy’s name etched in the unforgettable childhood handwriting we’ve all come to associate with the Toy Story franchise. But while it remains absent in the design (perhaps because we can’t see the bottom of the shoe), consider this a delightful opportunity for personalisation when getting these kicks custom-made. All in all, these sneakers are an undeniably stylish and playful nod to the captivating character from the iconic and beloved animated series.
