It hasn’t been an ideal month for Adidas, but when the German sportswear big could be counted on one factor today (or over the past 20 years), it’s discovering methods to squeeze some money out of licensed sneaker offers. Subsequent up: The Simpsons.
Earlier this month we received our first take a look at a Simpsons x Famous person collab, which sees almost your entire floor of the shoe coated in blue fuzz to approximate Marge’s hair. It appears to be like precisely like a pair of previous Cookie Monster sneakers I as soon as purchased for my (then) two-year-old:
One other shoe within the lineup, one leaked earlier as we speak and this time a Stan Smith, options Homer as a substitute. Whereas initially seeming lots much less concerned than the Marge shoe—possibly there’s a balding joke right here, I don’t know—flipping the shoe round reveals this one has some fuzz too, however solely on the heel:
G/O Media might get a fee

Consider the Foreo Bear as train to your face, partaking muscle mass to offer radiance and elevate with lasting outcomes.
Just like the meme itself, that is one thing you’ll be able to chuckle at once you see it on the web, however spending cash to put on it in your ft? Hrmmmmmm.
Not that Adidas will care. Whereas the corporate’s Yeezy collaboration has turned to ash, and had been value massive cash at its peak, Adidas’ bread and butter within the sneaker enterprise (like Nike’s), isn’t in excessive profile, restricted releases however in two different locations: for essentially the most half, it’s the on a regular basis roster of venerable classics (the Famous person, the Stan Smith, slides, and so forth) and to a lesser extent it’s tie-ins like this.
We’ve seen this lots over the previous couple of years, as the corporate has launched sneakers based mostly on all the pieces from Recreation of Thrones to Pokémon to South Park to a earlier Simpsons launch, and whereas many of those come have come throughout wanting a bit naff, some (Pokémon particularly) have been nice!
There’s no phrase on a launch date or worth for both of those.
