It hasn’t been a fantastic month for Adidas, but when the German sportswear big may be counted on one factor as of late (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 Celebrity collab, which sees practically the complete floor of the shoe coated in blue fuzz to approximate Marge’s hair. It seems to be 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 right this moment and this time a Stan Smith, options Homer as a substitute. Whereas initially seeming loads 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
20% off
Ettitude – 20% Off
20% off bundled bamboo bedding
The model’s proprietary CleanBamboo is a delicate, breathable material; their signature sateen is cool to the contact.
Just like the meme itself, that is one thing you’ll be able to 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 price 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 probably the most half, it’s the on a regular basis roster of venerable classics (the Celebrity, the Stan Smith, slides, and many others) 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 worth for both of those.
