Simpsons Gets First Shoe Deal

Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products has partnered with Converse for the first-ever footwear collaboration for “The Simpsons.”

The shoes will hit retail this Saturday at Journeys and Converse stores, coinciding with production of the show’s 25^th season. “The Simpsons” is the longest-running scripted show in TV history.

The Simpsons Chuck Taylor All Star collection will feature custom character graphics in styles available for the entire family.

The Homer sneaker for men includes a blue and black background, accented with Homer exclaiming “D’oh!” on one side of the shoe and “Woo Hoo!” on the other; for both children and adults there is the Bart sneaker featuring Bart writing, “I will not waste chalk,” on a black background; and the family sneaker showcases each of the members of The Simpsons household.
