Jessie gets the prettiest pair in the adidas x Toy Story collab — and it isn't a standard Samba at all. It's the Samba Jane, the Mary Jane version with a single strap in place of laces, dressed in details that nod to Toy Story's cowgirl without tipping into costume. Here's the full look at the women's Jessie Samba Jane and its kids version, both part of the adidas x Toy Story collection.
The Jessie details
The women's Jessie Samba Jane runs a white leather upper with denim Three Stripes, cow-print overlays wrapping the T-toe, and red stitching at the heel that references Jessie's hat. In place of laces it uses a single strap closure — the "Jane" part. Underneath it's classic Samba: a gum rubber outsole and the familiar low, court-ready profile that goes back to the model's late-1940s indoor-soccer origins. The colorway is White / Black / Gum, and the mix of leather, denim, and western touches gives it a different texture than a plain Samba.
Samba Jane vs the standard Samba
Same indoor-soccer roots and same low silhouette — the difference is the closure. The Samba Jane swaps the lace-up for a Mary Jane strap, which reads a little dressier and slips on faster. If you prefer the traditional lace-up look, a standard Samba is the move; if you like the strap, the Jane is a genuinely different shoe on foot. Either way, the Samba vs Gazelle vs Spezial guide helps place it against the other terrace models.
Do the Jessie Samba Janes run true to size?
Listed in US women's sizing, and like other Sambas they run slightly long and narrow, so most people size down a half size; wider feet can stay true to size. If you're shopping the men's-listed pairs in the collab, remember women's converts to men's by subtracting about 1.5 (a women's 8.5 is a men's 7). The leather breaks in and softens with wear. Full detail in the Samba sizing guide.
The kids Samba Jane
The kids Samba Jane keeps the Off White / Core Black / Gum palette and adds a bow on the hook-and-loop strap, which also makes it easy for younger kids to put on themselves. It's a leather upper built for everyday wear, so it works as a school shoe too — see the back-to-school shoes guide for more. Youth sizing on this one comes and goes, so check the product page for what's live before you plan a matching set; the wider kids collection is the place to look if it isn't there.
Who the Jessie Samba Jane is for
This one's for the person who wants a collab that whispers instead of shouts. From a few feet away it reads as a clean white-and-gum Mary Jane sneaker; the cow print, the denim stripes, and the red heel stitch only reveal themselves up close, so it works just as well at the office-adjacent end of casual as it does on a Toy Story fan. The strap closure makes it easy on and off, and it dresses up a little more readily than a lace-up Samba — it looks intentional with trousers or a skirt, not just jeans. Pair it with the kids version when that one's around and it becomes a mother-daughter set, which is a big part of why this collab has caught on.
How to style it
The white-black-gum palette is a neutral, so the Jessie Samba Jane pairs naturally with vintage denim, carpenter pants, or simple shorts and a graphic tee — the Toy Story details stay subtle enough for daily wear.
