Springfield’s cherished family, The Simpsons, has left its mark on the renowned Stan Smiths in more ways than one. Previously, Marge Simpson took over the tennis shoe with her glorious blue hair; now, the attention is being turned to her husband Homer. It’s a natural next step that’ll make fans holler, “D’oh!”
In this fresh interpretation, one of Homer Simpson’s most memorable scenes is ingeniously incorporated, with the highly meme-able moment of the character backing into a bush adding a humorous new twist to the classic vegan leather silhouette. While the entire style retains its classic barebones look, the heel tab is animated with an embroidered artwork of the cartoon icon retreating into a lush backdrop of green fleece.

The tongue receives another playful update, with Homer’s face partially hidden underneath laces. The sides now feature his name in place of the Stan Smith logo.

Custom sock liners and a specially-designed box memorializing the meme complete the package, with Adidas’ triple stripes envisioned as a part of the foliage.
Priced at US$120, this amusing edition to the timeless footwear is now available for purchase via Adidas retailers and online.
