Reebok and Alien share a longstanding history of collaboration dating back to the 1986 Aliens movie where Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was seen wearing a pair of iconic “Alien Stomper” sneakers. Both collaborated in 2017 for the 30th anniversary of Aliens with a 2-pack “Final Battle” Alien vs Power Loader stompers, as well as Alien Day celebration releases of Colonial Marines stompers in 2019 and Bishop stompers in 2020.
This year, with the release of Alien: Romulus, the new protagonist, Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny) is once again seen wearing a pair of Alien Stompers throughout the forthcoming film. Pulled from the archive and built upon Reebok Basketball’s iconic BB4000 II frame, the Reebok Alien Romulus features an all-leather upper, distressed film-worn finish along with a Weyland-Yutani logo on the tongue and heel. The EVA foam midsole, and a solid rubber cupsole with a grippy traction pattern provides extra grip, perfect for bug hunting, or stomping in this case.
Alien: Romulus hits cinemas from 15 August onwards while Alien fans can purchase the limited edition Reebok Alien Romulus sneaker beginning 27 August for US$170 from Reebok.com.
