Thank you Mario, but our new Converse are in another country
Converse already showed off two Mario-themed Chuck Taylor shoe designs, due in Japan next month. Before those have even hit stores, the shoe company revealed two more designs that put Super Mario Bros. level designs on your feet. One of the new designs is a wraparound of 1-1. Flip down the top of the high-top and you'll find a night scene, with Luigi picking up coins. The other design is Mario battling Bowser, with a hidden "Thank you Mario!" and princess on the second layer of canvas. The two designs are, like the other Mario shoes, Japan-only, and will be out in August. You'll either have to import, or just visualize your feet in these.
Super Mario (Converse) All-Stars coming to Japan
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo released a retread of Super Mario All-Stars. Now, working with Nintendo, Converse is releasing some Mario-themed goods to aid in your treading. This July, Converse will offer special edition Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes in two styles, with tiled Mario sprites against either a white or black canvas. Even the star on the All-Star logo gets a Mario makeover. Unfortunately, these kicks have only been announced for Japan, so it may be difficult for you to look this cool.
