Vans has succeeded where many have failed, by producing a series of sports franchised branded sneakers. Their formula for success was to use their classic silhouettes inspired by MLB team’s uniforms and colors. Next add tastefully placed and embroidered team logos. Then throw in a matching Majestic Authentic Jersey, all into a unique custom team logo box! Finally, top it all off by limiting each of the releases to only a dozen pairs per select store during the opening of the MLB season, and you have a recipe for pandemonium from sneaker heads and baseball fanatics alike! Check out the video recap above for the release of the Boston Red Sox Vans Authentic at Bodega, filmed and edited by Levi Maestro.

We already saw the Oceanic Airlines Dunk High SB inspired by LOST, and now we get a look at the Nike SB Blazer High Linen ‘Shoe’ inspired by the mysterious Dharma Initiative. This design appears to take off where the Huf Capsule Collection Blazers left off. The upper is predominantly a ‘linen’ colored canvas with a white canvas swoosh and heel tab. Although what separates these shoes from the Huf Blazers is the ‘linen’ colored mesh tongue. The word “Shoe’ is also carefully embroidered on the heel tab, and screened on the insoles as nods to LOST and the labeled supplies found on the island. The shoes are also a ‘Considered Design’ which means that the shoes were designed and materials were picked with the environment in mind. The Nike SB Linen ‘Shoe’ Blazer High Quickstrike is available now at A-Front in Houston, TX.

Most of you may have seen the ‘Boom’ Dunk High by Matt French that Nike SB plans to release in January as a Quick Strike. What you may not have seen is that there are two other Quick Strike releases for this month that appear to be even more limited at the moment. One of these is the above Nike SB ‘Oceanic Airlines’ Dunk High. The all suede upper features germain and chlorine blue colors that play off the fictional Oceanic Airline logo, that is used in many films and television programs such as ‘Lost’. The shoes are offset with white accents on the swoosh, outsole, and mesh tongue. The shoes come complete with two pairs of laces; red and/or white. The insoles of the shoe feature a radar like map of the earth. They are also a ‘Considered Design’ which means that the shoes were designed and materials were picked with the environment in mind. The Nike SB ‘Sonar’ Dunk High Quickstrike is available now at A-Front in Houston, TX.

The Nike Air Flightposite II LE has been a highly anticipated release for 2010. Originally worn by Kevin Garnett during the 2000 season before his move to adidas, 10 years later we get a pretty solid retro with few changes from the original silhouette. The only visual differences seem to be the lack of any KG references on the shoe. If you have been waiting to grab a pair of the Nike Air Flightposite II LE, they are already starting to show up at select Nike retailers. If you’re still on the fence with these, you can check out a bunch more pics after the jump to help you make up your mind. Via Dunk.

Yet another European Nike release, we have the Nike Alpha Three-quarter. This shoe is definitely not your usual Nike sneaker, the design elements show this shoe is more on the “lifestyle” side than anything athletic inspired. The Silhouette looks slightly like a pair of Vans originals meets a Nike Blazer, with the use of canvas and a white rubber midsole. Regardless of where the inspiration came from, these Alpha Three-Quarters have a unique look and are sure to receive some worthy attention while in action. Once again these have been released in Europe, so check back with us at sneakernews.com for info on a possible US release.
