It hasn’t been a fantastic month for Adidas, but when the German sportswear big will be counted on one factor nowadays (or over the past 20 years), it’s discovering methods to squeeze some money out of licensed sneaker offers. Next up: The Simpsons.

Another shoe within the lineup, one leaked earlier immediately and this time a Stan Smith, options Homer as a substitute.

Like the meme itself, this is something you can chuckle at when you see it on the internet, but spending money to wear it on your feet? Hrmmmmmm.

Not that Adidas will care. While the company’s Yeezy collaboration has turned to ash, and had been worth big money at its peak, Adidas’ bread and butter in the sneaker business (like Nike’s), isn’t in high profile, limited releases but in two other places: for the most part, it’s the everyday roster of venerable classics (the Superstar, the Stan Smith, slides, etc) and to a lesser extent it’s tie-ins like this.

We’ve seen this a lot over the last few years, as the company has released sneakers based on everything from Game 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.
