Two New Versions of Reebok’s ‘Aliens’ Stompers Coming Soon!
Even Ripley never had shoes THIS badass.
Easily the coolest thing about last year’s first annual Alien Day was the release of Reebok’s “Alien Stompers,” exact replicas of the futuristic shoes that Reebok specially made back in 1986 for Sigourney Weaver to wear in Aliens. The limited edition shoes infamously sold out instantly, meaning that most fans (including myself) weren’t able to actually get their hands on them.
They were also released in men’s sizes only, which was not cool at all.
If you, like me, weren’t able to get your hands on the “Alien Stompers” last year, then you’ll be happy to learn that Reebok is releasing a special “Final Battle” pack this summer that will include two brand new variant pairs of the classic red and white shoes. The shoes, which will release in unisex sizing, are inspired by the epic final battle sequence in James Cameron’s sequel.
One pair is inspired by the Queen Xenomorph, and the other by the Powerloader cargo suit!
You’ll be able to grab the pack for $325 on July 18th. Check out the insanely cool shoes below.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
