Skechers is no stranger to collaborations with famous franchises, and this time, the shoemaker takes a step into the Mushroom Kingdom. The company has announced a new series of shoes and apparel featuring the world of the Mario Brothers.
The Super Mario Collection re-designs shoes across Skechers’s adult and kids lines, taking cues from the red-hat plumber himself, along with Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad and Bowser. For adults, the star of the collaboration is the Skechers Street Uno Court, a sneaker which features the company’s Skech-Air midsole and Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole.
The Skechers Street Uno Court is the highlight of the collection, coming in men’s, women’s and unisex sizes.

Other shoe designs include Foamies Surge and Max Cushioning Sandals, both of which are slip-ons that feature Cali Bits – Skechers’s answer to Crocs’s Jibbitz charms – of Mario characters.
For the kids, Skechers is offering Mario-fied versions of its Skechers Street Mega-Quake (for boys) and Uno Lite (for girls) shoe lines. These sneakers also come with character patches on the side. If your child prefers a design that’s even less subtle, though, there’s also the Foamies Swifters, which are unisex sandals that feature a sculpted upper with a large graphic of all the collab’s stars on it.
