Come Out Of The Shadows & Celebrate Alien Day In Reebok Stompers
March 30, 2016 by dracs
It's Alien Day next April 26th (yes, that's a real thing now) and a number of cool stuff is coming out to celebrate the famous Sci-Fi franchise, including a new audiodrama and a shiny pair of shoes.
Footwear For Fighting Aliens
First up, Reebok will be coming out with some replica footwear to let you copy the style of the far future.
These are Reebok Stompers and they are the iconic super futuristic shoes worn by Sigourney Weaver in the sequel Aliens.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Reebok will be releasing the high tops worn by Weaver and the mid-tops worn by Bishop in the movie.
These, alongside the Back to the Future shoes Nike released, will mean you are sure to be sporting the most high tech in footwear.
The Aliens Invade Audible
Audible are also celebrating Alien day with the release of a new audible drama called Alien Out of the Shadows.
This audiodrama will be starring Rutger Hauer, of Blade Runner fame. I expect it will most likely be an adaptation of the novel of the same name that came out in 2014 (see above), forming the first part in a new official trilogy of books set in the universe of the Alien franchise.
Personally, this is the release I am most excited for come Alien Day. I love a good audiodrama and I'm sure one starring the xenomorphs could be suitably chilling, especially with the talent that seems to be behind it.
What will you do to celebrate Alien Day?

Hate to think of the cost.. and I bet all sold out already….!!!!! Game over man…
Interesting that shoes in movies look so cool, yet once you try on the same par, they look nowhere near as cool on my feet.
The secret is to distress them – but who is going to want to do that to $300 sneakers? 😀
Hopeful they will not be 300, no more then 120 (mid) and 150 (high top) and they will actually sell fast. Next we need back to the future shoes and more terminator Nike vandals. All at a decent price though.
I admit that’s a number I pulled out of the air so I hope you’re right; At £80-£90 I’d give it some serious thought!
Sigourney just rescued a kid from the sweatshop that makes these boots, ironic isn’t it.
My wife and I will be ordering! Getting the Ripley and Lance versions.
Those are so 80’s that it’s awesome.
I’m willing to bet these are going to cost more than we predict. Alien has a huge following and they wouldn’t make them if they didn’t know there was a good market for them. Pretty cool piece though.
