Foot Locker just unveiled their next exclusive release. In celebration of the film Ghostbusters; 35th anniversary, K-Swiss takes a modern approach to the design of two archived models, Classic 2000 and Si-18 International.
Renowned sneaker customizer Alexander-John spotlights two of the most infamous villains from the original 1984 Ghostbusters, Slimer and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Slimer is brought to life on a Classic 2000 in Ectoplasm Green translucent PVC, animated with his infamous pink tongue on the insole, ready to “eat your soles.” The upper features a metal d-ring lace system and die-cut EVA sock liners finessed with the Ghostbusters logo. The outsole features a glow-in-the-dark translucent green rubber outsole to match the upper.
Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is designed in his original colorway – white, red and blue – for the Si-18 International. The shoe features a quilted puffed toe box and die-cut EVA sock liners with Stay Puft logos on the inside. The model sits atop a translucent rubber outsole, providing durable traction for everyday wear. There is a custom Stay Puft woven label on the tongue, embroidered “GB-84” for the year Ghostbusters released, and an exclusive K-Swiss x Ghostbusters lockup logo completes the commemorative embellishments.
In advance of this highly anticipated product drop, Foot Locker is offering an immersive pre-launch shopping experience at the Ghostbusters Fan Fest, on June 8 at the Sony Pictures Studio Lot. Fans attending the Ghostbusters-themed convention will have the first opportunity to buy the collection, have their sneakers signed by an original cast member, as well as have access to collectibles and memorabilia. The first two customers to purchase the shoes at the event will also be treated to a custom package that includes an exclusive Ghostbusters 35th anniversary-themed WALKMAN ®, a Funko figure, and more!
The limited-edition collection will be sold exclusively at Foot Locker’s booth at Ghostbusters Fan Fest, on June 8. The national release will commence on June 13 online at Footlocker.com.
