Super Mario Converse, low-top editions

Converse will release two different styles of Super Mario low-top in Japan in March 2012 -- I like the overall look, though I think I'd prefer them in canvas over leather.

It comes in a black and a white premium leather version, with the Converse star logo being replaced with the star icon from the iconic video game. Furthermore the colors of the sneaker have been adapted to the signature colors of the Super Mario character and the Super Mario Bros., Mario and Luigi, are printed on the heel of the sneakers.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I like the black, not gonna lie. It has that nice, shiny, leathery look.

Thank you. I am off to Target to make my own.

Some folks dislike the One Stars, but they tend to be made of softer, more comfy material than Con All-Stars. I’ve been wearing Chucks since I was six

Sorry folks – these shoes are region encoded so they cannot be worn in North America.
