Fictional Burger-Inspired Sneakers

The Simpsons and adidas Join Forces on a ZX 10000 Sneaker

— January 25, 2021 — Fashion
The Simpsons and adidas work in collaboration on a new ZX 10000 sneaker model that is inspired by the Krusty Burger. The duo celebrate the fictional fast food item and transforms it into a shoe version as the upper features a blend of materials and colors.

The base foundation has dark brown overlays that overlap some beige detailing. This nods to the look of a sesame seed bun across the forefoot as the burger gun reference. There are also bright hues of team that makes up the stripes and the heels offer textural contrast with chenille materials. This is a direct reference to Krusty the Clown's bright hair. Rounding out the design are red, pink and vanilla tonal details at the paneling pieces.
