The Alien Stomper is one of those sneakers that’s been out for longer than some sneakerheads have been alive, yet still manages a futuristic vibe even to this day. Accordingly, they’re more popular in the progressive Japanese fashion scene than here in the States, and that’s a fact that’ll leave lovers of the quintessential RBK style jealous of this new release. This new CHAPTER x Reebok Alien Stomper is almost as simple as last December’s entirely black edition, their all-white uppers adding a gum bottom for a look that’s most definitely a time-tested hit, but just one degree away from the true Reebok Classic motif of white and grey. Click through to see more details like the multicolor heel branding and hit up your overseas connects to get in on the pre-order from CHAPTER.
Bape’s newest high fashion knockoff appears to be the Nike Stan Smith classic tennis shoe, but of course in Bape fashion they have named it something else. Here is the Bapesta Squash, now available in four colorways including White/White, White/Navy, White/Green, and Navy/White. Using traditional Bape leathers and materials they have Nike Free Run 3.0 given the Stan Smith quite the makeover and seemingly are trying to make this shoe as popular as the Bape Nike Free Run look-a-like. You can pick these up at various Bape stores or visit Cliff Edge.
