Video games and kicks collided once again for this latest Puma and Nintendo collaboration.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Super Mario, Puma has announced it is teaming up with Nintendo for a “Super Mario 64” edition of J.Cole’s new basketball sneaker, the RS-Dreamer. The sneakers take its cues from the iconic heroic plumber with its red uppers, blue and white color gracing the kicks ProFoam midsole that is topped off with a hint of yellow on the lace support. While it makes Cole’s popular new shoe unrecognizable, it will easily resonate with fans of the Super Mario video games. The sneakers are inspired by Mario’s legendary digital drip that famously consisted of overalls, long sleeve red shirt, white gloves, and hat combo.
If that wasn’t enough to remind that sneaker is, in fact, a Nintendo collaboration, the tongues feature “Super Mario” branding as well the Puma logo, a nice touch that should please gamers.
