We were ridiculously excited when we saw the preview of Vans’ new Nintendo collection, and the reality has not disappointed us whatsoever. In fact, we’re probably going to need a second job to pay for our new Vantendo addiction – maybe we’ll take up plumbing.
The Vans x Nintendo collection is pricey, but available in a wide range of sizes, with most starting at 2.5 and some going all the way up to a UK 12. Take notes, Reebok.
Here’s our pick of the collection.
Super Mario Bros tie-dye


This trippy design makes us feel like we’ve used one too many mushrooms. The ‘Game over’ on the bottom of all the Nintendo Vans is a nice touch too, though it would be cool if it was embossed to leave an imprinted warning for any Bowsers following behind.
They’re £52.00.
Duck Hunt/Camo


This 8-bit camouflage pattern has ducks galore, as well as that dastardly dog. Don’t forget, the second shoe controls the ducks ;).
Princess Peach


She might be blonde and clichéd, but Princess Peach will always have a place in our hearts. Now she can have a place on our feet, too.
They’re – you guessed it – £52.00.
Zelda Black/Parisian Night




The Vans x Nintendo collection is available now – hope you’ve been hoarding those gold coins.
