Jasir Asani, Albania’s player in the Euro Cup, has surprised fans with personalized Mario and Luigi boots, but don’t let Nintendo see them, because they are not official…
Albania is being one of the surprises of the Euro Cup after closing a spectacular 2-2 draw against Croatia in the same group in which Spain plays, but what many have commented today have been the player’s boots Jasir Asani.
The number 9 of the Albanian team has taken to the field with some personalized soccer boots… with Mario and Luigi. It seems that the player is a big fan of Nintendo, or perhaps he wanted to celebrate the announcement of the new Mario & Luigi game yesterday.
What is certain is that the spectators were astonished when the camera focused on the player and these boots were seen, which we can see in more detail in images on social networks.
These sneakers are totally unique, and look like they were hand painted. They have the player’s name on the heel next to the Albanian flag, so you know they don’t belong to anyone else.
Naturally, they’re not official from Nintendo… who probably won’t be too happy that the player is wearing images of Mario and Luigi without permission. On the other hand, free advertising for your new Nintendo Switch games!
Mario & Luigi return to Nintendo Switch
The Croatia-Albania match takes place 24 hours after a Nintendo Direct in which Nintendo announced new Mario, Zelda and Metroid games for Nintendo Switch, due out in 2024 and some in 2025 as well.
Among them, a new Mario & Luigi, a role-playing saga started on the GBA by a studio, Alphadream, which went bankrupt in 2019, hence it was suspected that these games would not return. But Mario & Luigi: Brotherly Connection will be released in November on Nintendo Switch.
Albania will be Spain’s next rival in the Euro Cup, on Monday, June 24 at 9:00 p.m. Although we will be there to support La Roja, we will pay close attention to Jasir AsaniIf you wear those again Mario and Luigi boots: It may be the last game they play in the competition…
