The multi-billion dollar video gaming company always has a keen eye for unique approaches. This time around, they thought about an interesting collaboration to bring life to a noticeable feature of their mascot, Mario. The company paired up with the talented Red Wing Shoes franchise to bring life to Mario’s iconic boots.

We all have noticed Mario’s weird-looking shoes at one time or the other, and it surely was an interesting watch to see them get produced in real life. The video that was posted to commemorate Mario’s entry on the silver screen was aesthetically pleasing. It etched the story of how the iconic boots were made in real life and what all went into its real-life creation. The step-by-step procedure was captured like a well-crafted motion picture.

This whole video was quite interesting. It would be more amusing if Red Wing Shoes brings these unique boots for the fans to purchase. But from the data collected from their website, it seems like fans won’t be able to purchase these stylized accessories.

This might be disheartening for many fans. Especially for the ones who love collecting souvenirs of their favorite and iconic gaming characters. Maybe in the future, this option might become available, but no guarantee can be given on that front. But as Nintendo quite often listens to the wants of their fans, and if a popular opinion rises for the release of the Mario boots, it may happen.
