To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the beloved Super Mario Bros. video game franchise, PUMA is bringing the famous plumber to some of their most iconic sneaker styles and more.
The inspiration for these designs come from the three titles featured in the new Super Mario 3D All-Stars game: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. The collection, launching this month and early next month, pays homage to Mario’s epic adventures with bright colors and hidden icons throughout.
The first four sneakers will launch on the PUMA site on Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. ET.
The Future Rider Super Mario 64 low-top sneakers celebrate the classic Mario blue-and-red color scheme with a small row of 3D bricks on the sides, just waiting for Mario to jump up and break them with his fist. The shoe also features a charm of the hero flying with his wing cap, which is laced through the side.
The Clyde sneaker is inspired by Super Mario Sunshine and the island of Delfino, with a strip of blue water up the side that’s set against a simpler, tan shoe. The R.S. Dreamer also draws inspiration from Mario’s tropical adventure, with a full blue color scheme for this high-top sneaker.
Finally, take to space with the R.S. Fast, which celebrates Super Mario Galaxy with a celestial blue and black design and features Mario’s starry-eyed sidekick, Luna.
Then, fans can press play on one final shoe that’s dropping on Dec. 4. The Future Rider Nintendo Entertainment System design pays homage to the original Nintendo gaming console. It features a gray, black, and red color scheme, complete with “power” and “reset” buttons on the side. The final drop will also include shirts and sweatshirts featuring new designs of the classic characters.
