@@AndrewSink they could have easily made the process better, but they didn’t Perhaps they like creating a hysteria on a limited release by making it seem more exclusive
The original Alien Stompers were the Reebok BB7600 sneakers from 1986. Back then, the BBQ stood for basketball and the number was the price so these originally sold for $76. There was a more popular BB4600 that released in 1986 and these Romulus sneakers are based on the late 80s low top BB4000 II model.
My order was cancelled. I called Reebok. Initially they were on back order trying to fulfill all the orders, but they couldn’t do it so a lot of successfully placed orders were cancelled. What’s even more infuriating is that I got mine manually, without bots. I don’t know how to use them. I was up for nearly 2 hours manually refreshing and adding to cart, and eventually I got the confirmation email when I placed the order. Yet they still cancelled. This is why I left the shoe game. Tired of L’s. Even my W’s turn into L’s. Screw Reebok and the sneaker game
Clearly, scalpers have some sort of software that outs them to the front of the queue. How do these huge companies nit have software to beat the bots, or filter delivery addresses. I cant imagine some of these resellers with 20+ listings have 20+ addresses
A lot of effort went into the design of the shoe in the making of the movie, the director made the call to have these be sold like they are seen in the film, without the worn look it takes away from the character of the shoe. Unfortunately it seems like Reebok got a little lazy with some of the shoes because not all look the right amount of “dirty”. Thanks for uploading an unboxing!
@@LochNessAnthony it’s a quality shoe with an Alien theme and a monstrous high price and ridiculous quantity designed to create buzz and hysteria among Alien fans
Great video actually. I live in Japan we just got the movie this week and I was curious they had a few good shots of the shoe in the movie and low and behold they had a horrible online selling of these things. I am with you tho. The shoes look cool but the 'distressed' look of any apparel is so hot topic corny to me. I would never pay for something worn out unless i was purposely buying used.
The shit ive had to deal with over this shoe. I whiffed on the release. Then bought a pair on GOAT for $350 but noticed they were only going for $250 while i was asleep but was just happy to get them. After 2 weeks GOAT cancelled my order this morning as the buyer flaked.
Welp I don’t care 🤷🏾♂️ for other fans but I’m blessed and God always gives me what I want so I got the alien bucket 🪣 the best one the alien head that you hold like a shield 🛡️ like the avp alien shield and I just bought a pair of these brand new size 7 for $340 and they shipped them already I can’t wait to get em and wear them everyday so I can feel that I work for the company weyland yutani the ones that couldn’t get it oh well sorry for yall 😂😂🤷🏾♂️

@@diegobelaunde4965 I feel you on that man and same exact thing happened to me! It was my first and now last purchase with Reebok. 😑 Im sticking with New Balance from now on
@@diegobelaunde4965 @mynameisjeff7692 from what a Reddit user said, they spoke to an actual human in Customer Service who said the warehouse themselves canceled any orders after 5 days if the stock wasn’t available How they determined which orders to fulfill and which to cancel, nobody knows
I’ve given up on these reeboks!! Firstly they only had a US release and they immediately sold out!!! Utter disgrace from Reebok! I bought a pair on Stock X for £400 and immediately regretted it and luckily managed to cancel the purchase.
@@callumcc8897 I agree the way they handled it, was disgusting It excludes real fans who have very little chance of actually obtaining a pair They did nothing to check “are you a human” or even give codes to pre-sale
THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I AM GOING TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS ON A SNEAKER THAT OUT OF THE BOX, LOOKS LIKE IT WAS USED BY A OIL RIG WORKER AT A DRILL SITE
these shoes are absolutely badass
I just order mines can’t wait to get em 😊😊😊
@@adriel88_ if they are back in stock then yeah go for it!
Updated bug-stompers, amazing!
Thanks for the detailed review, I’ll wait for a pair with some additive technology used in the process!

I got mines canceled, I’m just going to wait to buy them on StockX for retail price once the hype dies, that’s the best bet
Thought I might’ve been the only one this happened to. It was infuriating trying to get the checkout to load
@@diegobelaunde4965 I’m so sorry to hear that. I was also refreshing the screen and opening up multiple tabs
It’s extremely annoying
@@Cybertron1256 I was also following a Reddit thread where everyone either got their orders canceled or their credit card got charged multiple times
@@smokedbacon3259 beyond infuriating!! We live in a time where shoes can be 3D printed!!! Reebok’s attitude is incredibly annoying!

They made a supply chain disaster for themselves
Apparently they restocked today and I had no idea 😑 you think they'll restock again?
@@my_name_i_Jeffwhere you hear that from 😭
@@my_name_i_Jeff they sent email saying “the item you’re interested in is back in stock”, then when you click the link, it says “Page not found”
I hate scalpers dawg.
ty for video

@@pimp_floyd5024 I didn’t realize the director was so involved with the *retail* aspect
Good to know, thanks
@@elspur1I read it in an article, it’s worth checking out if you can find it.
It’s actually better like that, every shoe is 1 of 1
Thanks for the update
If you had to go half size up or half size down which would you recommend?
half a size UP, definately
How’s the quality? Is it just a cheap shoe with an alien theme or is it a quality shoe?
@@LochNessAnthony it’s a quality shoe with an Alien theme and a monstrous high price and ridiculous quantity designed to create buzz and hysteria among Alien fans
The distressed look doesn't look so dirty in video but it is not so in real life.
I get that they were trying for authenticity but let the people do the distressing by themselves!!
@@elspur1 I concur.
Shoelada will clean those
