Show off your Stanley Kubrick fandom with the [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-romulus-reebok-bb-4000-ii-mid-shoes) 'Full Metal Jacket' edition sneakers. This shoe is part of the Reebok 'Kubrick' pack, which pays homage to the director of such films as 'The Shining,' 'Eyes Wide Shut,' and '2001: A Space Odyssey.'

Tribute shoe collections are nothing new, but I have never seen a [tribute shoe dedicated to a director](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs). The Reebok 'Full Metal Jacket' edition is styled just to Pvt. Pyle's liking, with a camouflage pattern, peace signs, and even bullet dubraes.
