Reebok x Alien Sneakers: In Space, No One Can Hear Your Footsteps

Posted on by

With the new Alien movie Alien: Covenant headed to theaters in just a couple of weeks, the Alien buzz machine is starting to heat up with all kinds of cool stuff. One of the more awesome things I’ve seen so far are these Reebok sneakers, which are inspired by the big face-off between Ripley and the Alien Queen in Aliens.

The Reebok Alien Stomper “Final Battle” pack features two pairs of awesome patent leather sneakers. The Queen Alien Stompers are done up in black with bright green accents which symbolize her nasty corrosive blood.

The Powerloader Alien Stompers look like Ripley’s power loader exosuit, complete with an industrial yellow leather body, and black stripe and red arrow details. They simply look fantastic.

The set comes packaged in a cool collectible box, which is decorated with artwork from the Aliens universe.

The pack will be available starting on July 18 (presumably in limited quantities) for $325(USD). In the mean time, you can sign up for a chance to win the set on the Reebok website.

Aliens Baby Power Loader Costume: Get Away from Her, You Poopypants!

Posted on by

We’ve actually seen a baby in a Power Loader costume before, but it doesn’t get old. There’s something very creepy and unsettling about seeing a baby in control of a multi-ton machine capable of crushing an Alien Queen like a bug.

This one was built by Carsten Riewe for a Karneval Parade in Germany and it’s a dead ringer for the Caterpillar P5000 exoskeleton power loader from Aliens. But instead of Ripley, his 13-month-old daughter is the one driving this thing. Hopefully she isn’t a temperamental child and won’t destroy the whole town or anything because she didn’t get the toy she wanted. Nah. Don’t worry, her dad is behind her as the real driver.

The costume is a nice piece of work, and took about 100 hours to build. The arms and legs are full moveable and the top-light and LED are powered by a 12 Volt battery pack stored in the backpack. The on/off switch is in the left arm. There is also a Bluetooth boombox in the backpack to play mechanical robot sound effects or music.
