Ghostbusters themed sneakers

[Riceball]

I don't if anyone has seen this yet but Reebok is coming out with Ghostbusters themed sneakers. They're not replicas of any kind, just sneakers (Limited editions, I think) inspired by Ghostbusters. Personally, I'm not too crazy about them, but then again, I never was a massive fan of the movies either.

Yes, these are Ghostbusters sneakers, and Reebok's dropping them at midnight on Halloween

Shoe ya gonna call?

Pretty vulgar. Reebok doesn't appear to have tried too hard. Maybe kids will like them?

those'll get you a wedgie or snapped with a wet towel for sure....

I don’t think you guys have much of a grasp on the “ridiculous shoe” crowd.

People will love these. Limited edition shoes sell out...fast.

At my work I have contact with LOTS of college kids, and LOTS of foreign students. The level of ridiculousness that these kids’ have on their feet is just...absurd. It’s like the weirder the shoe is, the more they want it.

So while “normal” folks look at these and think “Who the hell buys these?” The people that DO buy these look at them and say “I hope I can get a pair before they sell out.”

yea. and the little fiddly bits will mean more people will **** theirs up, so the people that can keep their sealed away in a box and all pristine will have the more valuable ones; just like the shoe weirdos like it. lol

I was considering posting this there but since these aren't replicas of any sort, I felt that this would be a section to post it in.

The white ones look like a bad joke and I love Ghostbusters. The tan ones are decent.

Agreed, the white ones look way too impractical to wear. I imagine that most, if not all, people who end up buying the white ones will be buying just to collect and display, not to wear. Well, maybe once or twice in the house I'd imagine, but certainly not for everyday or even the occasional wear.

Only Just coming across this thread, and reading these replies I was on the reebok site the night these things dropped and most sizes of the Ghost Smasher sold out within a few minutes... I was one of those people who picked up a pair

Now hear me out! I'm not a fan of the tubes and such, and luckily they are removable. For display purposes I think they look awesome, I've worn them to a few of my local GB franchise dinners (without the tubes attached) and they've gotten compliments from complete strangers.

I'm regretting not picking up the other pair they dropped that year, I've been thinking about picking up a pair from the secondary market.
