Nintendo and Vans teamed up to make the video game shoes of your dreams
Some things just go well together. Peanut butter and chocolate, the internet and hateful comments from anonymous strangers, Nintendo and hip shoes... wait, what was that one about Nintendo?

The shoes aren't expected to launch until June, but thanks to the retailer, we have an early look at what at least a few of the pairs will look like:
