Ridley Scott’s Alien landed in theaters back in 1979 and became a seminal piece of science-fiction horror, setting the standard for what could be accomplished in survivalist thrillers. The film earned multiple sequels over the decades and inspired generations of storytellers, with the original film being regarded as one of the best horror films of all time. Despite its legacy, the series never quite earned the admiration audiences felt it deserved as compared to other sci-fi franchises, resulting in the inaugural “Alien Day” taking place back on April 26th, 2016, a date whose significance is tied to planet LV-426, which audiences first saw in the 1986 sequel Aliens.
In honor of this year’s annual Alien Day celebration, fans can purchase a limited color scheme of Reebok‘s “Bug Stomper” sneakers, action figures, comic books, and more.

Reebok x Alien U.S.C.M. Bug Stomper – $220
Inspired by Aliens (1986), the second film in the cult-classic franchise by 20th Century FOX, Reebok is releasing an all-new Alien Stomper just in time for Alien Day. The new iteration, dubbed the Alien U.S.C.M. Bug Stomper, will be the fourth and final installment of the iconic Alien x Reebok partnership. Directly inspired by the United States Colonial Marines (U.S.C.M.) and Aliens’ protagonist PFC William Hudson, the silhouette takes its name from Bug Stomper, the Marines’ primary dropship within the film.
Arriving in a military camouflage, tan and grey colorway with an asymmetric graphic execution and contrasting yellow and black hits throughout, the unisex U.S.C.M. Bug Stomper is packed with realistic touches and Easter eggs for die-hard Aliens fans. Overshadowing a laundry list of meticulous design details that only buyers will enjoy, the sneaker features an array of notable and noticeable graphics and materials inspired by U.S.C.M. dropships and uniforms from the 1986 film:
- Upper is designed with protective ballistic textile material
- Durable molded rubber window box replaces Reebok Union Jack with Weyland Yutani “W” logo
- Heel camouflage is an exact replication of the one-of-one camo pattern designed for the film’s U.S.C.M. fatigues
- “Eyes on Your Back” motif on right heel reflects graphic on back right shoulder of Hudson’s body armor
- Right ankle/heel webbing reads “We Endanger Species” from Bug Stomper logo
- Left and right sockliner feature “Death or Glory” skull and Weyland Yutani Corp logo with soldier number respectively
- Tactile molded neoprene booties feature replica U.S.S. Sulaco and U.S.C.M. Screaming Eagle patches
- Transparent hangtag replicates U.S.C.M. dog tags featured in the film
- Underside of right forefoot strap reads “Contents Under Pressure” as painted on back of Hudson’s body armor
- Unique QR code on the underside of the left forefoot strap provides exclusive access to the Alien Universe microsite featuring unreleased content from the forthcoming books The Making of Aliens by Titan and Alien The Original Screenplay by Dark Horse Comics.
