K-Swiss Celebrates 35 Years of ‘Ghostbusters’ With Stay Puft and Slimer Sneakers!

This year marks 35 years of Ghostbusters, and lots of different companies are celebrating in their own ways. Among them, K-Swiss is dropping brand new Ghostbusters shoes this week!

Detailed by Hype Beast, K-Swiss and Foot Locker have partnered to unleash two pairs of sneakers: Classic 2000’s inspired by Slimer and Si-18 International’s inspired by Stay Puft!

“For the Si-18 International “Stay Puft,” the majority of the white leather sneaker is accented with navy blue and red detailing, paying homage to the Marshmallow Man’s sailor collar and hat. Additionally, a Stay Puft tongue tag, insoles, branded laces and heels add the final touches to this collaborative pair.”

“Over on Classic 2000 “Slimer,” the sneaker is dressed head-to-toe in “Ectoplasm Green” aside from the metal eyestays and the translucent PVC upper which allows the color hue to shine through. The back of the tongue is colored pink to represent Slimer’s actual tongue while the insoles don a drawing of the character. Finally glow-in-the-dark outsoles add a special finishing touch.”

Both sneakers will debut at Ghostbusters Fan Fest this Saturday, June 8th in California. Fans unable to make it to the event will be able to grab them on Foot Locker’s website that day.

If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.

Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!

Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”

Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.

Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.

Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”

“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”

We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
