Reebok Reveals Limited Edition ALIEN: ROMULUS Sneakers
If you liked the Reebok sneakers that Cailee Spaeny’s character is seen wearing in the trailers for Alien: Romulus, you’ll now be able to own a pair for yourself!
Reebok announced they are releasing limited edition Alien: Romulus shoes that are a modified version of the futuristic Reebok “Alien Stompers” worn by Ripley and Bishop in Aliens.
The shoes are called the “Reebok Alien Romulus” and they will run of $170. The shoes were specifically designed for the movie and replicas were in more recent years released by Reebok, becoming highly sought after by fans and sneaker collectors.
The description reads: “For the release of Alien: Romulus, the storied franchise is set to reignite thrills with the commercial release of a unique and compelling piece of footwear that will be worn throughout the forthcoming film.”
Pulled from the archive and built upon Reebok Basketball’s iconic BB4000 II frame, the “Reebok Alien Romulus” was designed to battle big bugs, featuring an all-leather upper, distressed film-worn finish, Weyland-Yutani logo on the tongue and heel, EVA foam midsole, and a solid rubber cupsole with a grippy traction pattern for grip, among other ‘easter eggs.’
The Reebok x Alien collaboration stands out today as one of the most epic mashups between film and footwear, with the 1986 film-worn “Alien Stomper” boot maintaining “grail” status in contemporary sneaker culture. The brands would come together for additional product collaborations in 2016 (for the 30th anniversary of Aliens) and 2019-20 (for the 40th anniversary of the original 1979 film).
Fans can purchase the “Reebok Alien Romulus” sneakers beginning August 27, from Reebok.com. Of course, I want a pair! Will you attempt to buy them?
