Hanon x Reebok Stomper VCMP

The entire design and concept of the Reebok Alien Stomper had its debut in the 1986 Aliens sequel made by Ridley Scott. Hence, it is just as fitting to see it pop up in a sci fi theme of its own. The Visual Countermeasures Project was built as a response to the increasing number of CCTVs watching around the city streets of UK along with the rest of the other businesses.

With this Hanon x Reebok Stomper collaboration, these sneakers offer a black upper in 3M scotchlite reflecting the not so clear future of such a society living under surveillance. You may have already seen these back a few months ago with just news of very limited run in 60 pairs. But recently, they have once again popped at Atmos, a Japanese Sneaker specialist. So stick with us if you need more news about these sneakers. We will definitely keep you posted!
