Mario’s Boots: A pixel-for-Stitch Recreation Fit For The World’s Most Famous Plumber.
In celebration of Mario’s leap to the big screen in Nintendo + Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie , Red Wing Shoes brings Mario’s iconic shoes to life in a one-of-a-kind prototype. The only pair created was unveiled at Nintendo New York, Nintendo’s flagship store in New York City in front of a crowd of excited fans on March 10th also known as MAR10 Day.
Red Wing’s master craftspeople worked with the film's creative team to translate every on-screen pixel into a real-life stitch. Mario’s boots are expertly crafted from seasoned leather, with a reinforced toe box and rounded heal. The mushroom-based, mycelium heel pad provide a welcome power-up to help Mario take on Bowser and his army.
“At Red Wing Shoe Company we’ve been supplying long-lasting, durable and comfortable footwear that protects trades workers on the job site for 118-years. We were excited to deliver that same ambition and energy to Mario’s Boots as one of the most famous plumbers in the world!” Dave Schneider, CMO, Red Wing Shoes
