Reebok and Universal Pictures are launching sneakers inspired by Jurassic Park.
Designed by Steven Smith, the new collection has three unique sneakers featuring a dinosaur-like stripe design in a colorway inspired by the green, red and yellow Ford Explorers that appeared in 1993's Jurassic Park. According to House of Heat, the Reebok silhouettes featured in the new collection are the CL Legacy, Club C and the Instapump Fury.
The Jurassic-fied Instapump features embossed rubber lettering on the front and rear pull, which reads "Reebok Classic" and "Jurassic Park" in the signature Jurassic Park font. The shoe also features the infamous Jurassic Park dinosaur fossil logo on the tongue and retails for $180.
It's unclear at this time how much the CL Legacy and the Club C variants will cost. The full Jurassic Park x Reebok collection launches on Reebok's website May 1.
In addition to the new Reebok partnership, Universal recently announced that a Jurassic World-themed VelociCoaster will open at Universal Studios Orlando on June 10. The dinosaur-themed ride will be located in Universal's Islands of Adventure and is described as "the apex predator of coasters." The coaster features a 4,700-foot track, stands at 155 feet high and boasts a stomach-churning 80-degree drop, marking Universal Orlando's steepest drop ever.
Ahead of the ride, the Jurrasic World VelociCoaster will play an interactive story, featuring several main characters from the Jurassic World films. Actors Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and BD Wong will all be reprising their characters from previous films in the dino-franchise. Owen Grady's raptor pack -- Charlie, Delta, Echo and Blue -- will also appear.
Jurassic World: Dominion, the latest film in the Jurassic World franchise, wrapped up filming in November 2020. Originally, the upcoming blockbuster was supposed to debut in June 2021, but was pushed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of this writing, Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World: Dominion will release in theatres in June 2022.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Dominion stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Jake Johnson, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Omar Sy, Isabelle Sermon and B.D. Wong. The film arrives in theaters on June 10, 2022.
