Nintendo x Vans Collaboration In Four Silhouettes

Vans Sk8 was launched in 1978 as hi-cut sneakers to protect the ankles of its wearer, the skaters and skateboarders. This silhouette's most identifiable feature are the jazz stripes, per Sole Collector.

On the other hand, Vans Old Skool was launched two years earlier than Sk8 as a low-cut design and its notable features are the leather panels around the heels and toes. It is meant to give skateboarders shoes that don't easily wear down. Take a look at some of the photos of Nintendo x Vans with "Mario" designs below:

Vans Authentic and Slip-On are two of the classic silhouettes, which were both released in the 60s. Authentic is the first lace-up skater shoes while Slip-on is the first waffle bottom skaters that other brands have tried to imitate. Check out this "Legend of Zelda" inspired sneakers in pink:
