To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario franchise, Nintendo have teamed up with Puma to bring a collection of themed shoes. 

The collection, which comes after the recently released Super Mario 3D All-Stars, includes several pairs from some of Puma’s most distinct silhouettes, each designed with a specific Super Mario game in mind. 

First is the Future Rider Super Mario 64 inspired by Mario's first 3D adventure. They upper design is a nod to the iconic red and blue Mario outfit, his Wing Cap and the game's landscape colour, with a brick detailing on the side.

The Clyde and RS-Dreamer shoes are themed after Super Mario Sunshine and are inspired by the game’s tropical theme. Both feature details from the water-filled game, like from their overall colour scheme to the adorable Shine Sprites. 

Last are the RS-Fast Super Mario Galaxy, which is a mixture of black, purple, white, and metallic silver with a galactic print to mimic the game's cosmic theme. Mario's sidekick, Luma, is also detailed through the design. 

The Nintendo Puma Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection will release on the Puma webstore and retailers like Foot Locker on November 27.
