Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If you're a big fan of achingly nostalgic footwear, then you're just in luck.

Vans has finally unveiled its highly-rumoured collab with Pixar, releasing an entire range of shoes based off the studio's Toy Story franchise. The collection combines the footwear brand's iconic silhouettes with designs directly inspired by the film and its characters; alongside a small selection of Toy Story-themed accessories.

Woody, for example, has spawned three different sneaker designs; the Sk8-Hi Reissue PT, the Old Skool, and an Authentic. Buzz Lightyear's instantly recognisable colour combinations, meanwhile, see a purple and green-designed take on both the Sk8-Hi Reissue and Old Skool. Plus, there's plenty of love for the aliens, Sid's mutant creations, and even Bo Peep.

The collection follows on from the film's 20th anniversary, celebrated last year, and forms part of Vans' continuing collaborations with Disney's pop culture properties; including a line of Star Wars-related gear, and a "Young at Heart" collection featuring Mickey, Minnie, and the gang.

And the most exciting part? For added authenticity, Andy's signature appears at the bottom of each of the shoes. You can check out the collection below.


The Vans x Toy Story collection will be available at Vans retail stores across Europe and online here, available from 29 November.
