Nintendo may only have one game on display at this year’s E3, but the company still has one of the biggest booth spaces on the show floor. The expo’s final floor plans went up today, showing Nintendo has three different sections, and apparently the theater as well.

Other publishers like Capcom and Warner Bros. will also be present at E3 later this month. We have a look at the West Hall and South Hall plans in this post.

It’s been announced that the Vans x Nintendo collection will launch this Friday in the United States. At other international retailers, the footwear will be available throughout the month.

Here’s what you can look forward to in terms of shoes:

The Vans x Nintendo Classic footwear assortment kicks off with four variations of the Authentic silhouette. Travel to the Mushroom Kingdom for the first colorway, the Super Mario Bros. Tie-Dye, which showcases an all-over character print of Mario alongside several “power-ups” and the villainous Goomba over an 8-bit tie-dye pattern. A second color-up features the original damsel in distress, Princess Peach, awaiting rescue from her brave hero. Duck Hunt comes to life atop a digi-camo backdrop featuring the hunting dog and flying duck, and the final execution of the Authentic is an ode to Donkey Kong and incorporates imagery from its first level to present the title character in a unique floral arrangement. Vans’ iconic lace-free silhouette, the Classic Slip-On, appears in the sneaker lineup with graphics and quotes from The Legend of Zelda. A Sidestriped trio of the Sk8-Hi, Old Skool and Sk8-Hi Slim for women pay homage to the NES with prints and colors inspired by the console. Lace-up styles are trimmed with special details, including Nintendo game logos on the tongue label and NES controller lace caplets. For the greatest feature, kick up your heels to reveal Vans iconic waffle sole printed with ‘Game Over!’

Sneaker styles for youth and toddler fits will also be distributed at retailers. These include “patterns designed just for kids with characters from Mario Kart and Super Mario across the Sk8-Hi Zip, Classic Slip-on and Authentic.”

Interestingly, the Vans x Nintendo collaboration also extends into apparel and accessory items. Consumers can pick up tees, backpacks, bags, socks and hats “in prints that tie back to the Classic footwear.”

Read up on today’s full announcement below.
