CONVERSE JAPAN TO CELEBRATING THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER MARIO BROS

Converse Japan has apparently decided to be that one relative who sends you a birthday card months after the date by releasing a set of Chuck Taylor All-Stars celebrating the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. being released on the NES. Which, if you’re keeping score, was on September 13, 1985.

These Converse x Super Mario Bros. sneakers go on sale in Japan in April. The sneaks come in two versions on black or white canvas, and feature an all-over pixelated Super Mario sprite pattern with additional details on the tongue, and the ‘All-Star’ on the side tag turned into an invincibility star.

ADIDAS SKATEBOARDING

adidas Skateboarding is a relatively young brand when you talk about skate shoes, but we took them out for a kick, push and fell in love with them instantly. What’s not to like? adidas took classic designs and remodeled them for the stresses of skateboarding.

The Campus Vulc Hi has been given a vulcanized outsole for greater comfort, stability and boardfeel, while when the Skate model has been reintroduced straight out of the 70s archive. The Skate was the first ever made-for-skateboarding shoe adidas created; clean, basic and vulcanized, it features a new customed PU molded sock liner for greater comfort and a snug fit. All the technical aspects of the shoes aside, these babies look really good. The colours pop and they look slick as all hell. Pick up your adidas Skateboarding kicks from Boards & Stuff.

Boards & Stuff is located *SCAPE #02-13 | Cineleisure #02-21
