 Nintendo/Vans

Let's-a go...and put on our Nintendo sneaks!

Shoe company Vans is about to team up with Nintendo to drop a line of shoes decorated with iconic Nintendo characters including Mario, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Link.

The line consists of beloved Vans designs like the high-top Sk8-Hi, lace-up Old Skool and Classic Slip-on, all decorated with a range of Nintendo characters and motifs from games including Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda and Duck Hunt. There's even a shoe adorned with a design of Nintendo's classic NES controller.

The range of high-tops and shoes -- and a pair of Super Mario sandals, for when you tear yourself away from your console and head to the beach -- was accidentally leaked by German shoe shop 43Einhalb and spotted by Sole Collector. The retailer listed them as going on sale in June.
