Nintendo and Puma have some exciting news to enthrall fans! It seems they are collaborating once again to bring out Animal Crossing merchandise. This gives players of the game enough reason to be enthralled.
Earlier today, Puma’s official Twitter account teased a forthcoming partnership between Nintendo’s Animal Crossing game and the sportswear brand.
Puma launched shoes and clothes based on the three titles included in Super Mario 3D All-Stars last year to commemorate Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, with NES-themed Future Rider sneakers following shortly. The highly sought-after sneakers sold out within minutes of coming online on Puma’s website, proving that the partnership was a success.

The sneaker line-up will feature three options – Wild Rider, Suede, and Future Rider. As of now, only Wild Rider’s image is available.
The Wild Rider sneakers are set to feature a light green and blue hue that reminds us of the special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch Console from last year. The sneakers will also contain designs inspired by multiple characters from the game.
