Mountain Research joins sportswear label Reebok once again -- this time around, the duo create a special iteration of the Alien Stomper model. The sneakers boast a premium interpretation and is made to be the perfect juxtaposing design that blends Japanese fashion culture with American entertainment industry and British footwear silhouettes.
The cross cultural footwear is constructed from a supple white leather material in smooth and perforated details. It features a high-cut shape and ribbed tongue held together with the classic shroud and strap combination. There are also additional text branding reading "Keep In a Safe Place" on the lateral side, "Keep Strapped to Hold Firmly" on the throat, and "Fold and Turn Over After Going Through Eyelet" on the medial side of the shoe.
