Vans and Nintendo continue their partnership by unveiling a new extensive collection of footwear, apparel and accessories celebrating the early days of video games. This time around, Vans presents exclusive graphic prints using 8-bit inspired artwork and characters from Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda, as well as an assortment inspired by Nintendo’s first console, the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Vans x Nintendo Classic footwear assortment features four variations of the Authentic silhouette. The Mushroom Kingdom will be the first colorway, the Super Mario Bros. Tie-Dye, which showcases an all-over character print of Mario alongside several “power-ups” and the villainous Goomba over an 8-bit tie-dye pattern. A second color-up features the original damsel in distress, Princess Peach, awaiting rescue from her brave hero. Duck Hunt comes to life atop a digi-camo backdrop featuring the hunting dog and flying duck, and the final iteration of the Authentic is an ode to Donkey Kong and incorporates imagery from its first level to present the title character in a unique floral arrangement. Vans’ iconic lace-free silhouette, the Classic Slip-On, appears in the sneaker lineup with graphics and quotes from The Legend of Zelda.

The Vans x Nintendo 2016 collection is available for purchase around the world this Friday, June 3, in the US and at select international Vans outlets throughout the month of June.
