Nintendo's surprisingly wide range of merchandise options often has us drooling over the latest and greatest thing, and this is usually amplified when we see the sorts of goodies available in Japan. Joining that list in style are these lovely Piranha Plant slippers and we can't wait to get multiple sets for ourselves.
The slippers are arriving courtesy of Nintendo Sales - the very same Nintendo branch which recently introduced a range of travel-themed goods to the market - and will be available in Japan this December, just in time for the coldest of months. If you're a diehard fan of Petey Piranha, or prefer to wear clothes with slightly less obvious Nintendo branding, we're sure these will work a treat.
The reason that we're so in love with this particular pair, though, is thanks to their wonderful storage design. The slippers come with a green warp pipe as a case, perfectly sitting inside to create the full Piranha Plant look.
Unfortunately, there's no word just yet on how these slippers might be available for western buyers, but it might be worth keeping an eye out on Amazon Japan this December if you're wanting to snag a pair.
The perfect Christmas present? Let us know if you'll be keeping an eye out for these with a comment below.

Hate red but these kinda icy!!
Got to admit, that's kinda cute how you can store them.
Would like, but no doubt they'll cost me at least £30 to get, and I don't normally wear slippers so I ain't paying that for them. Nice though.
Does it come with Squeaky SFX ?
I'd buy these but I tend to destroy slippers in record time.
This is a great idea but I have no use for slippers 🤷♂️
As is the case with many things in life, i don't need it, but i sure want it.

The Bombomb is the best
Do these slippers produce fireballs as well for the cold winters?
ill b in NYC in December so lets hope theyre at the Nintendo store my daughter would love them haha
Well now I'm torn between trying to get hold of these, or going for that piranha plant hand-puppet.
The pipe is cute in concept, but stupid and useless in practice. Who the hell is going to be bothered manually storing the slippers in them every time they take them off?
My slippers get a lot of use, so I can't imagine ever "storing" them, especially not in this fashion.
My current slippers are pretty worn though. I wonder if those Snorlax slippers are still available.
This is awesome
Am I the only one seeing this??
But do the mouths open? I wanna bite people with them.
@Joeynator3000 the two slippers form one piranha plant when stored in the pipe.
That's stupid....ugh.
Always loved Piranha Plants for some reason. LOVE these. Great storage idea.
Very cute. But I almost never wear slippers and I even live in Japan, which is arguably the country that uses them the most.
I’ve never needed anything more in my life.
I love the warp pipe and the slippers
Haha, love it. Very clever.
@Joeynator3000 lol can step on a Mario toy too. Very creative. Hope they do make one with opening mouths or at least market this well.
Should spit fireball to keep feet warmer...
Those are cute!
My daughter would love these. Going on the holiday shopping list.
