UBIQ, a Japanese footwear brand, honors one of the most iconic TV sitcoms by designing custom character-inspired graphic sneakers.
The collection includes five unique silhouettes with prop designs like Duff beer, The Simpsons’ pink sprinkle donuts and all-over visuals of Homer and Bart.
The sole of the shoe features a popular catch phrase by fan favorites Homer and Bart, to match the canvas upper. Similar to the Converse Chuck Taylor and the Vans Slip-On, the overall aesthetic of the sneakers portrays a retro and nostalgic vibe that pays homage to the American animated sitcom that first aired in 1989. These sneakers come in a variety of styles that range from high and low cuts to slip-ons.
Consumers can shop 'The Simpsons' Collection at Atmos and other select overseas retailers.
