When Egon uttered the quintessential phrase “don’t cross the streams” in the 1984 classsic Ghostbusters, he didn’t have this Reebok collaboration in mind. Sony Pictures and Reebok have combined their collective Ecto devices and have squarely targeted those with a love for Halloween and a certain Ray Parker Jr. earworm of a theme song.
With a bit of ghostly enhancement Reebok has revived the Classic Leathers and the Alienstomper, aptly renamed the Ghostsmashers. The highly detailed kicks are a show of love for the iconic film series as the Classic Leathers pay homage to the team’s jumpsuits, enfolding the khaki colorway onto the time-honored silhouette. The shoe goes above and beyond with the spin on the Reebok branding, which has been altered to match the style of the name patches emblazoned on our heroes’ workwear. Ghostbusters branding on the tongue, the caution tape style strip on the back of the midsole, and a hint of glowing green ectoplasm on the outsole of the shoe really make you feel like you’re fighting the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man alongside the team. The Classic Leather is topped off with “Ready to Believe You” text across the heel.
The Ghostsmashers are a must-have for every ghost-hunting arsenal. The dynamic retooling of the Ripley’s footwear from Alien takes an already bombastic silhouette and turns it up several notches. The Ghostsmasher takes direct inspiration from the Ghostbusters weapon of choice, the Proton Pack. The shoe even features Reebok Pump technology directed through a green cylinder that mirrors the one found mounted on the Ghostbusters’ weapons. These shoes are ready to send some ghosts back to their final resting place.
This pack is set to release on October 31 through Reebok.com
