Reebok to launch Sigourney Weaver's Alien Stomper trainers
Reebok has announced the release of the boot-like sneakers worn by Sigourney Weaver in 1986 sci-fi film Aliens.
The calf-height Alien Stompers were created specifically by the sportswear brand for Aliens ? the second in the Alien movie series directed by Ridley Scott, which starred Weaver as warrant officer Ellen Ripley.
The designs feature three velcro straps, a bright red tongue and matching accents across the beige and grey upper.

There is a growing trend for retro trainers, and Reebok's launch follows rival brand Nike's release of the self-lacing shoes from 1985 movie Back to the Future II.

Following Back to the Future day last year, which gained a great deal of publicity, film studio 20th Century Fox has named 26 April 2016 as Alien Day. The date is connected to the fictional planet LV-426, where the parasitic life forms originate from.
