Air Jordan IV GAME BOY Sneakers – Super Mario Land Edition

By

Here we were thinking that our PUMA X Sega and Vans X Nintendo sneakers were cool, but then FreakerSNEAKS come along with their super duper custom and limited Air Jordan IV GAME BOY Super Mario Land sneakers!

These custom Jordans are seriously off the charts! With only 10 pairs available, of course they would demand a premium price (USD$1,350). Before you rush to the bank, you are too late – they are sold out.

Oh yeah, check out the other drool-worthy FreakerSNEAKS custom sneakers! We need a bib!

Vans X Nintendo: Powered Up Streetwear

By

VansXNintendo_HDRIt is great being on holiday – nothing beats being relaxed and away from your every day concerns! On our recent trip to Queensland’s Gold Coast, where it is beautiful one day and perfect the next, we happen to stumble across the Vans store at the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre. To our surprise, the store featured a complete Vans X Nintendo range by having an eye catching display at the front of their store.

We obviously didn’t need much coaxing to enter the Vans store once the exclusive 8-bit Nintendo graphics inspired gear caught our attention. The Vans X Nintendo range includes all of your fave Nintendo characters in an assortment of streetwear; from shoes, trucker’s hats, backpacks, to ties, socks, t-shirts and long-sleeve sweaters! Oh yeah, there are sizes for the little ones too!

So get “Off The Wall” and check out what we found at the Vans store on the Gold Coast…

Vans Gold Coast! What do we have here then…..
