Mushroom Kingdom Air Max 90s

March 13th, 2009 by nkats Stored in: Air Max, Custom Sneakers, Nike




Every kid who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s knows about Mario, Princess Toadstool and the Mushroom Kingdom featured in Nintendo’s signature franchise. D@ Prince Customs used Mario and Princess Toadstool in their Super Mario Bros. 3 incarnations as inspiration for the Mushroom Kingdom Air Max 90s. You can check out more about these shoes at D@ Prince’s MySpace page linked here.

The image of Mario soaring through the air on the right shoe is taken from the game’s cover. Mario has just picked up a Super Leaf during his travels, allowing him to fly and giving him the appearance of a raccoon. The left shoe features perpetually distressed Princess Toadstool waiting for help as she is held hostage. I like the expression of surprise put on Princess Toadstool’s face by D@ Prince, making the shoes come to life when you put them together.

D@ Prince sets the action for the Mushroom Kingdom Air Max 90s against a yellow/blue backdrop. The yellow acts as the horizon line while the blue is the same light color used to represent the sky in the video game. I think D@ Prince outdid himself with the Mushroom Kingdom Air Max 90s by representing perfectly what makes Mario and Princess Toadstool such enduring characters.

    These sneakers are definitely a work of art, yet I could never see anyone actually wearing these. They are made more to buy and display than to actually wear.
