20th Century Fox has set April 26th as “Alien Day” – the 4/26 date matching up with the LV-426 designation of the planet seen in the first two films.
A slew of Alien-related merchandise is being released that day, led by Reebok releasing an exact replica of the high-top sneakers worn by Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in 1986’s “Aliens”. Also being released is the mid-top version worn by Lance Henriksen as Bishop. The ‘Reebok Alien Stompers’ sneakers will be available from April 26th at the company’s official site and select Reebok stores worldwide.
