Many of you no doubt remember the Nintendo x Vans promotion that took place this summer, wherein Vans produced a line of fashionable shows with various designs on them related to popular Nintendo IP. They were certainly the Nintendo shoeware to own, but now it seems that a small-time custom shoe designer site—called Freaker Sneaks—is trying to get a similar response.
The shoes you see above are called the Jordan "Super Nintendo" IV, and are based upon the Air Jordan 4 shoe design. These custom shoes sport the standard gray color of the Super Nintendo console, and also feature a clickable D-Pad on the left shoe and the corresponding face buttons on the right one. There's no details as to when they'll come out or how much they'll cost, but limited pairs will be available, so keep an eye out if you intend on snagging these.
What do you think? Would you wear these? Did you get a pair of those Vans from last summer? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Now these Jordans I would rock daily.
"A handful of pairs"
Just the one pair, then 😜
Ooh... I Want That Shoes !!
Btw, I wonder if that shoes have size 44 - 45 (Indonesian measurement)...
My feet are big.
Yes !
I love them. I have a pair of Yoshi nike high tops by Nike too. The vans stuff was cute but quite poor quality in my opinion
They must be the SNES x Atari Jaguar edition given the awkward telephone keypad sticking off the controller.
I hate most video game clothing, wouldn't be caught dead in any of the Nintendo vans, but apart from the tongue label I love these.
Hate how there's no subtlety in video game clothing. I like the idea of something that only a few people would even realise is related to a game rather that huge logos and characters plastered across stuff.
These remind me a bit if the Back to the Future shoes. These look great and would totally get a pair if I wasn't saving for a Switch.
Only a handful were made because only a handful of people are worth of wearing these
Ps: I'm not even sure I am worthy

Actually, you can copy paste the Games screenshots, print on your blank T-shirt/mug/Art Paper and Voila... you can have it by yourself. Well, why did you hate so much games on Clothings ? Does it fun when people recognized famous or iconic characters on your outfits ? And what things that you like on your clothes then ?
I got two pairs of the Nintendo Vans for myself (Peach and the NES controller hi tops) and one for my niece (Mario & co). Absolutely beautiful to look at but the fit on none of them were quite right. I paid special attention to the measurements when ordering and even used my pair of Hello Kitty vans for comparison so I can only assume it was just the way they were made. We both eventually "broke" our shoes in but still was just a little bitter in what should have been a completely sweet experience.
Never been a fan of Jordan's but I'm definitely a fan of these. I'll totally dip if I have the cash when they release.
@LoveSugoi
Where did you buy ?
Is it available on Online shops like Ebay or something like that ?
How much for SNES shoes ?
Not one for wearing trainers / sneakers but do like their design and subtlety.
Missed opportunity though to make the side rear vents look like the controller ports.
@Anti-Matter
Bought them directly off of Van's website. They still have them available. The High Tops are going for $75 while the regulars are like $65-$70.
Captain N!! Maybe someone is planning on making a live-action Captain N series where the Cap' has to bend down, tiring himself out every time he wants to activate his powers?
Now all we need is a Motherbrain baseball cap & a Mega Man whiny-voice changer.
would be nice but they'll probably b ridiculously expensive
I wanted to like the stuff Nintendo did with Vans. Nothing in the pictures looked good to me. my feelings were confirmed when I saw a coworkers socks. They looked like something printed at a tshirt shop. I also didn't care for most of the designs. But, I really like these shoes. Seeing how their Jordans, the price will be ridiculous and they will be rare. Scalpers will have a good time with these. When it comes to scalpers, it seems as if Nintendo products are the gift the keeps on giving! Lol
What is the price and when will they be available? The website is pretty scarce with info.
I want those. Loved the look of the Nintendo Vans, but I'm not a Vans guy. Jordans? I wear Jordans on the daily, but NINTENDO JORDANS?!?!?! My heart...
