In news that video game geeks didn't know they needed but will be happy to hear, Vans is back at it again and has teamed up with Nintendo to create a Nintendo-themed Vans collaboration.
The classic brand recently saw its popularity increase due to a video gone viral and seems to have taken advantage of the opportunity. The new line will feature characters from Nintendo's video games -- including the ever-popular Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Duck Hunt.
Video game fanatics do not have to fear as the Vans collaboration, which is not Nintendo's first collaboration with a clothing and accessories brand, doesn't stop at Nintendo-themed shoes. There are also plans to create Nintendo-themed sandals and t-shirts.
