Vans launches Nintendo-inspired footwear collection
Action sports footwear company Vans has partnered with Nintendo to create a collection of footwear, apparel and accessories that takes inspiration from classic videogames from the 1980s.

The footwear range uses artwork inspired by the 8-bit era of videogames and features characters from titles like Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and the Legend of Zelda as well as designs inspired by Nintendo’s first console, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The sneakers were officially launched in the US on June 3 and will be available in sizes for adults and children. An international rollout is to take place throughout June.

The collaboration extends into apparel and accessories for men and women such as branded T-shirts, backpacks, bags, socks and hats, all available with prints that complement the footwear range.
