Reebok is paying homage to the classic sci-fi flick "Aliens" once again with the Reebok Aliens Cinema Pack. The Reebok Aliens Cinema Pack is a revival of the black Alien Stomper first worn by Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and other employees aboard the Weyland-Yutani.
You've got to hand it to Reebok for going toe-to-toe with Adidas with the Cinema Pack. While Star Wars clearly is the bigger name, Reebok has responded with some solid shoes from some pretty big-named movie franchises, including Indiana Jones and the aforementioned Aliens.
The Reebok Aliens Cinema Pack isn't branded with anything identifying it with the film. You're going to have to be a sharp-eyed film fan or movie buff to spot these in the wild.
