Champion & BEAMS Collaborate With Yu Nagaba for 'Toy Story' Collection

In celebration of Pixar Animation Studios’ “The Science Behind Pixar” exhibition, BEAMS, Champion and Japanese artist Yu Nagaba have all linked up to release a Toy Story apparel collection. Comprised of six pieces, Champion is offering three classic reverse weave sweatshirts while BEAMS is unloading three T-shirts.

Champion mostly retains its classic athletic look in grey, black and white, and harkens back to the Star Wars collection from 2014. Featuring the words “WOODY” and “BUZZ” in a collegiate font, the names are outlined with hues reflecting the characters’ main color schemes in the franchise. A “PIXAR” logo sweatshirt is also included, but is ony available at the BEAMS Roppongi Hills store. All three pieces arrive with a stitched Champion “C” emblem on the left sleeve while character tokens — Woody, Buzz and the iconic Pixar ball — appear on the right.

The other half of the collection is a partnership between BEAMS and Nagaba, who draws a cheeky illustration of Woody and Buzz in his distinct artistic style against backdrops of orange, black and white. The black variant will also be a BEAMS Roppongi Hills exclusive.

The Champion x BEAMS x Yu Nagaba Toy Story collection is available for pre-order now with a release date of September 2019. The Champion reverse weave sweatshirts retail for approximately $120 USD, while the BEAMS x Yu Nagaba T-shirts fall at approximately $40 USD.
