In a nostalgic nod to one of cinema's most iconic franchises, Reebok is set to launch the Alien Romulus sneaker, seamlessly blending retro design with futuristic elements. This release coincides with the premiere of the latest installment in the Alien film series, underscoring Reebok's continued influence in the sneaker and entertainment industries.
The Reebok Alien Romulus draws heavily from the brand's 1980s basketball silhouette, the BB series, and incorporates elements from the Alien Stomper, first seen in James Cameron's "Aliens." The design retains the classic color scheme and features the recognizable two-strapped ankle lockdown system, a hallmark of Reebok's vintage offerings. The Romulus is unique in its pre-distressed appearance, designed to mimic the rugged conditions of battling Xenomorphs in outer space.
Adding to the authenticity and appeal for fans of the franchise, the sneaker includes a subtle yet significant detail—a Weyland-Yutani logo on the heel, connecting the shoe directly to the Alien universe.
Set for release on Reebok US on August 26th, ten days after the film hits theaters, the Reebok Alien Romulus will be available for $170.
