As part of their collection with The Simpsons, adidas Originals honored Homer’s infamous cocktail with the adidas ZX 1000 Simpsons Flaming Moe’s. The Flaming Moe was first introduced as the Flaming Homer in the third season of The Simpsons, when Homer created a bizarre drink that contained cough syrup. The drink was so good that Homer’s friend and regular bartender, Moe, stole the recipe, renamed it the Flaming Moe, and took credit for inventing it at his eponymous bar. The adidas ZX 1000 Simpsons Flaming Moe's features a purple mesh and Nubuck upper with hits of red, orange, and yellow on the Three Stripes branding and flame detailing. The metal deubré references the Flaming Moe cocktail, with flames rising out of the glass. A white and red Torsion sole adds the finishing touches. Released in May of 2021 and retailed for $120, this cushioned runner is designed for modern comfort and classic style, inspired by the iconic episode of the animated series. The upper is made with purple mesh and tonal suede overlays, outlined in black for a look that pays tribute to the cartoon aesthetic. Midfoot overlays resemble burning flames, while the lace jewels are designed to look like the namesake beverage from the episode. Lightweight cushioning is provided by an EVA midsole, reinforced underfoot by a two-tone rubber outsole with adidas’ signature Torsion bar.
