Nintendo and Vans making some Sneakers

I enjoy how rather subtle this one is.
I agree. That's the only one that I may consider wearing. The other ones are gawdy as fuck. I mean they're neat as a collectible but I wouldn't be caught dead in them. FYI, I don't like wearing any gaming apparel. So to each their own.
I'm surprised you didn't say all of them looks bad.

Good fashion sense.
What is this one referring to?

The article states that this isn't the entire collection. Still hope for Splatoon shoes.

Think its tetris.
I'm not 100% sure.
The only reason why I would disagree is because Tetris isn't a Nintendo IP. All the other shoes are from Mario, Zelda, Duck Hunt or Nintendo owned properties.
EDIT: I take that last statement back. Apparently Nintendo did develop their own version of Tetris. Interesting. Always thought it was by another company. My bad. Could be Tetris.
Yeah Splatoon is a weird omission. Nintendo should just create legit merchandise and release them under the various Splatoon brands.
This is dope though:
The only dope ones.
The rest are absolute trash. Might as well not even make em. Garbage. Vans are ugly anyways so eh.
As much as I love watching everyone flagellate cluelessly about it, it's about as simple an answer as possible.
It's the Vans stripe, but in pixels.
I do. How is that a thing to dislike?
Behold, I wear these at work sometimes:joms5 said:

As a big Nintendo fan who only wears two casual shoes and hasn't bought any in over 6 years the timing is perfect. One of my pairs is on its last life.
The first is one I'm definitely getting. Will go well with my Mario hoodie.
I could use a slip-on so the Zelda one would be appreciated.
I really like the Peach ones but I doubt they sell them in Men's sizes. I wouldn't wear that outside of certain social circles.
I've never been into 8-bit stuff and don't have a strong affinity for the original NES so I hope the rest of the line branches out with more mod interpretations of series.
Though if they released an 8-bit Metroid I'll be forced to buy just like I bought the NES Metroid 3DS theme yesterday because it was the only Metroid theme available.
I honestly feel way more comfortable we are this out in public than game shirts. I never look at people's shoes.

I like the mario sk8-hi's
Black soles with that tone of beige can't be good fashion sense.
I get not wearing gaming apparel, I don't do it myself but there are ways to implement them into your outfit without looking goofy, and I believe these shoes are good for that, as long as you know how to complement them with a proper outfit, otherwise they'll just look bad.
6 years? Seriously? I couldn't go for six months without getting a new pair of kicks.

Quick question, what are loafers? Not really related to this thread but I just gotta know.

Getting that other Zelda laceless too. That's the best type of stupid. Also need that Donkey Kong Hawaiian (?) shirt.

Will all the shoes really say Game Over on the bottom?

I would absolutely want one that's colored like the NES. Still though, I'm probably getting the second pair in the OP.

Those duck hunt ones are mine.
I hope so, it's dumb in a way that is also kinda cool (I want shoes that say Game Over on the bottom).
Perfect for those flying double sidekicks. That way they will remember their game is over.
Never Be Game Over.

Anybody have any idea what these collaborations usually cost?
So in my earlier post the last picture seems to show the shoe box. I wonder of this is for the entire line or only the NES one.
I feel the entirety line would be better represented with a simple Nintendo logo on the box.
I'm totally into it. I'm just not sure how many would be though?
Also haven't seen less than 15 movies in a theater in my entire life. The last two were those Dragonball Z ones and I went with my sisters for nostalgia.
But I did just spend over a $100 on PS2 games today and plan to spend over $250 in the past few weeks and next few.
Priorities.

Even more items from this German store: http://www.43einhalb.com/en/search?searchstring=nintendo
More Shirts:
Sandals:
More Shoes:
Kids Sizes:
Laceless version of the Mario characters art work. Which shoe do I pick with that art?!
Those flip flops look good but I feel I could get fake ones with Nintendo art that would be okay.

The yoshi design is nice. A shame I can't stand lace-less shoes.
I hope that DK shirt is real. It's the perfect joke gift for some of my friends.
I feel the same but I'm willing to make an exception for those.

I ordered them directly before they were announced. Not sure where you can order them now, I think you may need to wait until they launch?
