Image: Nintendo LifeThe worlds of gaming and footwear crossover more than you might expect. The snazzy Pokémon x Crocs collection took our breath away last year, Bull Airs released a range of console-inspired sneakers and even Converse has got involved in the past too. But all of them pale in comparison to what Nike has been cooking up: a pair of Air Max 1s inspired by Donkey Kong Country.

This news comes from footwear site Sneaker News, which reports that the ‘Big Head Origins’ design is expected to launch at some point in the Spring/Summer period of this year — though nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
