RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ – 26/07/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a dynamic convergence of gaming culture and fashion-forward innovation, Floafers, the award-winning footwear disruptor known for its unique blend of comfort and creativity, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with mobile gaming giant Supercell. This partnership centers around Supercell’s hit title Brawl Stars—a global mobile gaming sensation boasting more than 1.3 billion downloads to date. The result? A limited-edition footwear series that transcends traditional licensing by merging iconic characters with bold, wearable design in a way that redefines both fan engagement and product storytelling.
The inaugural capsule introduces a colorful and collectible shoe line inspired by Brawl Stars characters, starting with the cactus-themed fan-favorite Spike, followed by the brooding assassin Crow, and the customizable “Starr Slide” featuring interchangeable emblems and collectible accessories. But this isn’t just a character-branded sneaker. Each pair is engineered from the ground up with a design philosophy that blends silhouette, materials, color theory, and character-driven motifs into what can only be described as wearable avatars. Every design element was carefully developed to represent the essence of the game, transforming footwear into a new narrative vehicle.
Piers Helmore, Head of Footwear, Apparel, and Accessories at the experimental design firm MSCHF, served as the creative director for the collection. Known for his disruptive work at the intersection of product design and cultural relevance, Helmore collaborated with Floafers’ CMO David Giordano and the Brawl Stars creative team to push the boundaries of what gaming merchandise can be. Their shared goal: to bring the visual energy and emotional attachment of in-game characters into the real world through a medium that fans can walk, collect, and connect with.
The first drop—the Floafers x Brawl Stars Spike model—will be available for pre-sale starting July 24. The official unveiling will take place at San Diego Comic-Con (July 24–27), where fans can get an exclusive first look, interact with the creative team, and participate in giveaways of limited-edition merchandise tied to the release.
This collaboration marks a major milestone in how brands are deepening the intersection of fashion and fandom. Over the coming months, new collections inspired by other Brawl Stars characters will roll out in trios, each featuring designs exclusive to the Floafers website. In tandem, Floafers is launching a collector-centric loyalty program, designed to reward engagement and provide early access to drops, special content, and rare accessories. Members can level up through participation, unlocking everything from bonus merch to surprise giveaways, creating an ongoing digital-physical fan experience.
“This collaboration opened up a whole new creative frontier for Floafers,” said Larry Reines, CEO of Floafers. “Brawl Stars’ rich world and unforgettable characters inspired us to push design and manufacturing in bold new ways. It’s not just about putting a character on a shoe—it’s about crafting stories through footwear, building a real-world extension of the game itself.”
Andrea Fasulo, Supercell’s Head of Global Licensing, echoed the sentiment: “At Supercell, we’re constantly exploring new and unexpected ways to expand the Brawl Stars universe beyond mobile screens. This partnership with Floafers does exactly that. It’s playful, bold, and fueled by the creativity of our community. These are shoes that speak to who our players are—and give them something entirely new to collect, wear, and celebrate.”
The long-term roadmap for the collaboration includes strategic expansion beyond North America, with releases planned across South America, Europe, and Asia through the end of 2025. This cross-continental rollout will be accompanied by regional events, exclusive drops, and local influencer activations that aim to bring global gaming fans closer to the characters they love.
By transforming digital heroes into tactile fashion artifacts, the Floafers x Brawl Stars collection doesn’t just add flair to your wardrobe—it redefines what it means to wear your fandom on your feet.
