Hip streetwear brand Bricktown has announced a partnership with Nintendo for an upcoming retro gaming-inspired collection. The crossover will see a variety of Super Mario World sprites adorning t-shirts, sweaters and caps of various hues.
The moody polaroids are a bit much, but the merch itself looks pretty tasty. Bricktown's website has the collection if you fancy checking it out, although the Paris-based firm's eyewatering prices may have you thinking twice. Still, if you're if the market for a Boo sweatshirt, these ones certainly look fetching.
Does any of this take your fancy? Think this premium swag is worth the pricetag? Share your thoughts below.

Bloody hell that's expensive.
What Nintendo character is on the guns?!?
€80 for a baseball cap lol 😂
I would certainly hope you're paying for the quality of the clothes, and not the design, because I can find clothes with SMW sprites on them on Etsy for under £20.
Call me crazy, but for some reason I'm hesitant to spend more than $200 on a plain gray shirt with a piranha plant on it.
This is where Nintendo have letting themselves down with regards to the 'seal of approval'
Selling out the franchise to companies that use guns to look cool and trendy! and Hori are no better with there poor quality either.
Surely it wouldn’t kill them to be more creative with their designs? If Nintendo’s letting you use official sprites, why not go all Super Mario Maker on it and create, for instance, your company’s logo out of brick blocks?
Too expensive or maybe it’s me
Well, looks like we're out of luck because most of it has sold out, unless you want a 'I eat girls' hat. I would have preffered a 'I ride Yoshis' cap myself =0p
a bit off topic but hot dang, that blond girl... is that what passes as a model these days? I'm no looker myself but jeez.
Sorry but those models are awful looking (they look like crack addicts) and that price? Who is behind this? Soldja Boy (Is that how you spell it?)
The price seems right, provided it is delivered by Shigeru Miyamoto himself and a nice bottle of sake so you can drink with a legend.
This is nothing new. There was some boutique hipster.place that sold a basic white shirt for $200.
@dew12333 They're squirt guns.... Also, guns are cool.
@MH4 It might. We've seen a lot of kitschy or even tacky apparel using more objects. These are muted, to say the least, but usable. The prices are bonkers, unfortunately.
@dew12333 Hori makes top quality stuff. Basically as good as first party. They have been known for decades as being the best third party accessory Maker.
These clothes on the other hand... Definitely not worth the price.
I luv that the early-mid 90's have made such a huge comeback style wise. Just as long as the watered down late 90's and early 00's don't ever ever ever ever come back, I'll be okay with it.
Here's all you need.
@Bunkerneath yeah I agree haha 😅😅 they do really do.its soulja boy and he's a div aswell.
@Rhaoulos 😅😅😅😅 brilliant
I’m afraid that’s what clothes not made by children actually cost. Those are all embroidered and not print. When a t-shirt is under 10€, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be terrible for the environment and human rights in some part of the world.
@jrpacman No. Not really. There are plenty of brands that don't use child labor and don't charge stupid prices. These prices are to appeal to a certain type that like paying for exclusivity. Like the Kanye West $100 plain white t-shirt.
No matter what people say........ that is a bloody rip off...... Like really it probably costs like less than $5 to make the Shirt.
@sikthvash
I want that hat.
it speaks to me.
Jesus christ!!! Those prices, how are some of these sold out? What?? Did they only make one of each? I know this hobby of ours is expensive but how can you justify spending what they are asking? If I got one as a gift and found out the price later I'd be quite upset.
As a guy that makes clothing for a living I find it pretty disgusting that they charge that much. But if people are willing to buy it so be it. It should cost no more than 8 dollars to make those shirts
$180 for a sweatshirt? I'll stick with Uniqlo's range, thank you very much.
