Vans
The partnership between Vans and Nintendo is probably one of the most popular mainstream collaborations Nintendo has ever locked down. Vans created a wide variety of shoes with designs that celebrated some of Nintendo’s most iconic characters and also featured more subtle designs that gave a nod to the days of retro gaming. To be honest, it was hard not to be nervous when the collaboration was first announced. Super Mario sneakers sounded like they could either be absolutely amazing or downright horrendous. Fortunately, Vans delivered one awesome design after the next.
Hightop Vans with NES controllers printed all around, low top Vans that covers your feet with the likes of Princess Peach, retro gaming-inspired designs that featured 8-bit versions of Mario and Link, and even a host of other pieces like tanks and snapbacks were made available for all Nintendo fans to snag and enjoy.
