Fashion brands and movie franchises have had long-term associations that consumers have appreciated and happily embraced. One of them particularly is the Reebok and Alien movie franchise that has been as cherished in the fight against the Xenomorphs as it has been back here on Earth.
The two brands first got into a collaboration for one of the most iconic pairs – featured in the 1986 Aliens movie – in 2016. Now with the new edition of the movie on the brink of hitting cinemas – on August 16 – the two are again combining to release a new sneaker collab in the form of the Reebok Alien Romulus.
Designer: Reebok x Alien
The new retro-inspired sneaker – worthy of contemporary sneaker culture – is arguably one of the finest in the three brand collabs – in 2016, 2020, and now in 2024. Reebok Alien Romulus shares the similar aesthetics of the 2016 “Alien Stomper” sneaker pair, and arrives in a worn-out white and red colorway. The tattered appearance is touted to have several Easter eggs concealed throughout the shoe.
This distressed Romulus sneaker features an all-leather upper, and Reebok banding on the lateral and tongue, while it has a Weyland-Yutani logo on the heel. The midsole is EVA foam and the silhouette has a grippy traction sole in red. The sneakerheads will recognize the shoe from the upcoming film Alien: Romulus.
Arriving in a similar style to what you would see in the movie, the Reebok Alien Romulus sneaker is scheduled to release on August 27, 2024, about 10 days after the movie premiers. The official images are out and will likely retail at $170.
