Remember the Reebok Alien Stompers? A shoe marketed in 1986 as the shoe Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) wore in James Cameron's Aliens?



Apparently, they were wrong about how soon we'd see 'em again. Reebok's bringing them back. Ah, it feels like the 80's again (in more ways than one!).

3. Yeah
I was ranting and raving about some kid's dumb-ass mom who bought him a pair and my Wife looked at me sheepishly.

I guess I was lucky I didn't have to sleep on the sofa.

5. Didin't they cost like a hundred bucks when they first came out.
Even though I was only in grade school, I thought it was a stupid idea at the time.
