They are great to look at and homage to the prototypes and original concepts from the classic film.

Fans of the movie will know that we were first introduced to these super cool looking sneakers at the final showdown when protagonist of the movie, Ellen Ripley, brought the alien directly into space with the help of the Exoskeleton Power Loader and her Alien Stompers.
