It hasn’t been a fantastic month for Adidas, but when the German sportswear big could be counted on one factor lately (or during the last 20 years), it’s discovering methods to squeeze some money out of licensed sneaker offers. Subsequent up: The Simpsons.
Earlier this month we obtained our first take a look at a Simpsons x Famous person collab, which sees practically the complete floor of the shoe coated in blue fuzz to approximate Marge’s hair. It seems 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 loads much less concerned than the Marge shoe—perhaps 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
20% off
Ettitude – 20% Off
20% off bundled bamboo bedding
The model’s proprietary CleanBamboo is a smooth, breathable cloth; their signature sateen is cool to the contact.
Just like the meme itself, that is one thing you may chuckle at if you see it on the web, however spending cash to put on it in your toes? Hrmmmmmm.
Not that Adidas will care. Whereas the corporate’s Yeezy collaboration has turned to ash, and had been value huge 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 on) and to a lesser extent it’s tie-ins like this.
We’ve seen this loads over the previous couple of years, as the corporate has launched sneakers primarily based on all the things from Sport of Thrones to Pokémon to South Park to a earlier Simpsons launch, and whereas many of those come have come throughout trying a bit naff, some (Pokémon particularly) have been nice!
There’s no phrase on a launch date or value for both of those.
