The Simpsons x adidas Stan Smith Homer Simpson | Meme Turned Sneaker Sensation

Iconic meme turned whimsical adidas creation, we present to you The Simpsons x adidas Stan Smith Homer Simpson. To the average joe, it would seem that this pair of playful kicks are on the more creative side of adidas’ usual endeavours. But as we know, this iteration isn’t the first to blend the worlds of the Three Stripes and Simpson universe, as seen in the adidas Superstar ‘Snowball’. And of course, we can’t go without mentioning Marge Simpson’s version of the Superstar, flooded in a fuzzy blue textile that we couldn’t forget if we tried.

Considerably subdued in comparison to The Simpsons x adidas models so far, this fun take on the Stan Smith shines the spotlight on the character that we all know and love. None other than Homer Simpson. The silhouette pays homage to the viral meme whereby the character is blankly backing into a hedge, after being declined an invitation to hang out by Ned Flanders (his neighbour). Regardless of whether you rate the cartoon series or not, I think we’ve all related at some point or another in our lives. The viral image takes form on the heel tab of the sneaker, crafted from plush high pile material and our very own embroidered Homer Simpson graphic. 

The rest of the silhouette follows standard Stan Smith protocol, adorned with a crisp perforated base and aged midsole. ‘Homer Simpson’ replaces conventional Stan Smith branding in all of its golden glory. Completing the shoe is an illustrated collaborative Stan Smith tongue label, concluding this belter of a creative partnership.
