Reebok Creates Predator Inspired DMX Sneaker
YES!!! You read that correctly! Celebrating the latest installment in the Predator film franchise, Reebok has partnered with 20th Century Fox and Extra Butter to produce a meticulously detailed cinematic collectible, dropping Friday, 9/14 on Reebok’s website.
Eerie iridescent soles conceal more than just Reebok’s patented DMX tech. Black out the lights to witness glow-in-the-dark graphics inspired by the film’s finale when water short-circuits the Predator’s operating system. A ghoulish ‘spine trophy’ souvenir hangs from the laces as a tribute to the original Predator film from 1987.
These shoes are legit and I am hoping I can cop a pair when they land in a few weeks.

Add the juice of the peeled fruit, tea and bourbon. Stir. Top with champagne just before serving and stir gently. Top with freshly grated nutmeg and serve.
*If you can’t grate fresh nutmeg, don’t use the prepackaged powdered stuff. It will turn your punch into a paste. If fresh isn’t possible, garnish with citrus wheels or fresh fruit.
