Gallery: Feast Your Eyes on the Best of the Vans X Nintendo Collection

These look great! Time to update my wardrobe!

**checks prices.... checks bank account...**

You know... On second thought...

I really like the high top black ones, but there's no way in hell I'd spend $75 bucks on shoes. I can get a pair of C9s for 30 and they last me more than a year and I put those suckers through hell.

No Metroid, but they picked Duck Hunt? Wtf?

I like all the DK stuff - purple on black - and the Mario old skool backpack.

And the Triforce Zelda t-shirt, which isn't a t-shirt, it's a tank or tank top. You can't show that much skin and call it a t-shirt b/c there is no "T" there.

I'll keep an eye on these awaiting the inevitable end of season sale. That's the way I roll!

I'm not that person to where videogame/cartoon based clothing, but I can definitely see myself getting that Duck Hunt shirt. That thing is too cool.

I got my NES controller high tops and Zelda slip-ons today. They're awesome. The boxes they come in are amazing too, perfect for storing Nintendo accessories in.

Got the NES authentics and Princess Peach Mario Kart shoes for my little girl. Agree about the boxes. Keeping those.

I love the NES Hightops and the Zelda slip ons..

I got myself five different pairs yesterday. Wish the Yoshi ones from the junior range were available for adults too, I'll get them for my nephew.

Are these available in Canada yet?

Yeah, most of this stuff is pretty high quality and cool. I'm all for licensing like this, when it's done right.

DAAAAMN, Thomas! Back at it again with the Nintendo Vans! STYLIN'!

Snazzy walkway vid of NL staff showing them off incoming?

Welp, too rich for my blood. I wouldn't wear those shoes anyway- collector's pieces only, and I'm not much of a collector (can't afford it). Might have bought the Duck Hunt hat for my brother's birthday, but Vans just missed it.

Got the Duck Hunt ones on Friday & they're really nice! They looked better than I was expecting in person. & there are nice touches like the laces that came as a nice surprise. I would be tempted by the t shirts but the price puts me off. Maybe if they hang around for long enough to end up in the sale.

Yesterday before work I headed over to mall and grabbed a pair of the SK8-HI Reissue Shoes, NES Style. Way more than I've ever paid for (or ever will pay for) shoes, but damn they're awesome!!!! They also fit and feel very nice on my feet, which is a bit of rarity. Very happy to have them, gonna try and keep in good shape for a long time to come

Got the Duck Hunt ones on order! Needed to check sizes first.

Not gonna lie, most of this stuff looks...really terrible. Some of the designs are okay but it's mostly super tacky and if I want clothing that's video game themed, I tend to go for stuff that doesn't advertise some clothing brand I don't care about. It's obnoxious that it can't just be a "Donkey Kong shirt" or a "Legend of Zelda shirt", it has to be a Vans shirt first, video game shirt second. Additionally, those prices are highway robbery while we're at it... Pretty sure you could commission people for better designs at a much cheaper price

Nice dope looking gear.

Schuh in uk have some exclusive ones not listed here too. I bought mine from there yesterday. They were £2 cheaper in schuh than the Vans store too (and do 10% students discount if you know anyone with a card!)

I bought my daughter some Mario Kart / Peach ones on Friday... Not sure if this is universal but the lace tips have wiimotes printed on them. Thought this was a very nice little detail. Could post a photo except I can't post photos...

I like the NES controller shoes and the Game Over hat!

@Szkliwo The Duck Hunt ones have a NES controller which is pretty nice. I guess they gave the controller for the system they were released on? (Or maybe it's just black laces gets NES, white laces get Wii)

They have a really nice pair of Mario high tops that for some reason are kids only. I liked them more than any of the other designs, I was proper gutted lol. I really don't like slip ons and these were high tops too

I find the shirts to be the weakest and the shoes the strongest. Really like some of these quite a bit.

Getting both of the zelda shoes, the duck hunt shoes and the mario tie dye shoes. They have a pair of black and red ones that I'm considering as well. Not feeling the rest of the collection.

I want those NES shoes.

WHAT ARE THOSE??!! Sorry, I had to do that.

@SuperBaconKid @PlywoodStick

@A01 agreed. I recognise it's a style people are into, but it definitely isn't mine. I'd prefer a minimalist approach

I like the shirts.

Wonder if I can order them online.

For the Tagline I would have gone with These Kicks Got Mad Game.

Already got my gear yesterday. A hat and 2 shirts

I was really excited for these... but now that I've seen the price tags I wouldn't touch 'em with a ten foot pole.
