A brand new pair of Aliens-inspired “Stompers” are on the way from Reebok and Mountain Research, we’ve learned this morning, this particular pair in a sleek “Xenomorph Black”!

The “stealth take on the historic Alien Stomper in honor of the classic film” from Reebok and the Japanese fashion label will be available on March 1, 2022, we’re being told.

The Reebok x Mountain Research Alien Stomper ($180, GX1385) is available beginning March 1 exclusively from Mountain Research before its wider global release on March 15.

First issued for the 1986 motion picture directed by James Cameron, Reebok’s Alien Stomper has since seen collaborative releases across streetwear and pop culture with each uniquely carrying forward the sneaker’s “out-of-this-world” DNA. 

The press release explains, “This time around, Mountain Research pays homage to Stomper’s theatrical roots, while offering distinct adaptations including a stealth all-black upper, a large tongue cover that nods the shoe’s original designer, and a detachable ankle belt for stress-free wear.”

“It’s a great honor to arrange and design for Reebok’s classic Alien Stomper,” commented Mountain Research founder Setsumasa Kobayashi.

Suspiria Button-Up from Middle of Beyond

I’d drape myself in Suspiria‘s lavish aesthetic every day if I could. Middle of Beyond’s new button-up shirt with an all-over print featuring many of the film’s iconic visuals is the next best thing.
