Nintendo Fans Will Freak Out Over Vans' New Retro Sneakers

These shoes are more super than Mario.

Daaamn, Daniel. Back at it again with the Princess Peach-themed Vans!

Even the biggest Vans fan of all time may be surprised to hear the skate shoe company is launching a sneaker collection inspired by vintage Nintendo video games.

The new line of kicks will feature Super Mario characters, NES controllers and pixellated designs, a throwback to Nintendo's era of 8-bit programming.

Somebody call Luigi!

The Vans x Nintendo collection will launch early this summer, a spokesperson for the brand told HuffPost. Most stores that carry Vans in the U.S. will likely stock the shoes, and some international outlets may as well: German sneaker house 43 Einhalb plans to offer them next month, a representative said.

You can sign up for updates on the collection at Vans.com.
