Reebok Releases DMX Run 10 Predator for Superfans and Sneakerheads Alike

Dutch (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) and co. probably wish they would have had these sneaks when the Predator came a-prowling in the 1987 classic of the same name. Though they don’t offer a cloaking device or thermal imaging per se, what the sneakers lack in alien technology they make up for in homage to one of the greatest action movies of all time.

Using green and yellow lenticular camouflage, Reebok has mimicked the Predator’s invisibility cloak, while the brand’s logo peeks out from the top of the shoe’s tongues like Predator’s glaring eyes. Printed on the interior of the tongues are the phrases “over here” and “turn around” in the Predator’s native alien language. Military coordinates are handwritten in red ink on the side of rippled and curved lizard-like mid-sole, referencing both the original film’s military team infiltration the Central American jungle site and the Predator’s strange amphibian/reptile shaped body.

Topping it all off is one of the Predator’s spine trophy souvenirs hanging from the laces of one shoe. But the cinematic details and don’t end there — the box also contains fun details like a heat-map overlay imitating the Predator’s thermal-imaging vision and a few booby-traps containing hidden messages to appeal to die-hard fanboys and casual watchers alike.

The sneakers celebrate the release of the latest incarnation of The Predator series, Shane Black’s remake of the original, only this time it’s based in the backwoods of Georgia, the soldiers are all ex-military, and the Predator is smarter, stronger, and deadlier than before. But remember, “If it bleeds, we can kill it.”

The 20th Century Fox X Reebok DMX Run 10 Predator sneakers will be available September 14, 2018, to correspond with the box office opening of The Predator. The sneakers will be available at Reebok, extrabutter.com, and retailers worldwide.

The 10 Most Expensive Shoes in the World
most expensive shoes for men

As the old saying goes, “You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes.” For the classy gentleman, you’re likely to find him sporting a snazzy pair of dress shoes that were handmade and cost a pretty penny. And because dress shoes are one of the most important pieces in a man’s wardrobe, it’s important to know your options when searching for a pair, especially if you’re trying to find the absolute most expensive shoes on the market.

If you’re dressed to the nines, you’ll need to match that confidence and attention to detail with a killer pair of shoes. You’ll see that many of the most expensive shoes for men feature master-level craftsmanship in design and materials. Many are constructed out of highly durable leathers such as alligator, crocodile, and calfskin that look better with age and last longer than the cheaper grain leather styles used today.

Oliver Cabell’s New Phoenix Sneakers Are 3D-Printed With Recycled Plastic Bottles
Oliver Cabell Phoenix

We've adored Oliver Cabell sneakers since the brand was released in 2016. The independent footwear brand has been deep in hard-nosed research for the last two years, studying ways to mitigate the growing single-use plastic waste epidemic. Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced each year, and only about 9% of that plastic heads to recycling. The England-based shoemakers have found a method to help curb the madness with an innovative development that utilizes recycled plastic water bottles in new sneakers.

When it comes to hitting the town, you have or should have a go-to pair of sneakers to lace up. A pair that only comes out once in a Thunder Moon with the intent to dress the part and impress the masses. More often than not, unless your shoes are bought for a specific purpose, the little voice in your head says, “OK, I’m going to keep these clean. I’m not going to wear them every day. They are only coming on special occasions.” And wouldn’t it be nice if you had the mental strength to fight off the urge to wear your new kicks every time you walked out the door? There are few pair that you should give your best efforts to keep ‘em looking fresh and clean, and these are them.
K-Swiss Gary Vee 004 Mid

It’s not often you hear the brand K-Swiss when talking about feet covers unless you grew up on the tennis court, but with another Gary Vaynerchuck collaboration, the time has come. The K-Swiss Gary Vee 004 Mid’s are scribbled with his abbreviated motto to “Make Positivity and Optimism Louder,” as if Mr. Doodle was commissioned for the work. The script is visible from all angles, especially against the white genuine leather. And as the point is to keep them looking clean, they arrive in a custom box that looks better occupied than vacant.
