19 Jun Dime Find of the Week: Simpsons x Converse

What: Simpsons Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers

Why: Everyone needs a fresh pair of bold kicks for the season.

Unless I’m working out, I’m not much of a sneaker girl. But the one brand of sneakers I’ll rock anytime, anyplace is a pair of Chucks. They have a classic, Americana feel and pair well with everything.

So I was really excited and intrigued when I heard my favorite brand was releasing a collection with The Simpsons, the longest running scripted show in television history.

The graphic print sneakers come in sizes for kids and adults. For guys, Homer exclaims his trademark D’Oh! phrase. And everyone in the family can get in on the Bart sneaker or my favorite, which features the entire Simpsons clan {Maggie, Lisa and Marge on one side with Homer and Bart on the other} and outlines of other memorable Simpsons characters in the background.

How to Style: When you need to give your feet a rest from heels, the Simpsons Chuck Taylor All Stars will give you a standout style. And though the colors are bold {hints of yellow, blue and red}, the background tones are neutral and wearable with almost anything in your closet.

• High slit maxi dresses have an instant sex appeal, but tone it down for daytime with these bad boys on your feet.
• Summer is prime time for cut off shorts and a tank. Instead of sandals or clunky sneakers, slip on these high tops.

Where to Buy: The Simpsons Chuck Taylor All Star collection can be found online at Journeys and Converse and are priced at $37 – $65.
