“Twilight” actress Nikki Reed said that the one item she kept from the hit movie is her character’s shoes from the film’s fan-favorite baseball sequence — and it’s only because costar Kristen Stewart stole them for her.

“I don’t have a single piece of memorabilia from the film series, except my baseball shoes from that scene,” Reed, who starred as Rosalie Hale in all five “Twilight” films released between 2008 and 2012, told Insider during a new interview for the film’s 12th anniversary.

“Kristen, who’s a dear buddy, took them for me because I just could never take anything from the set because I’m such a rule follower,” the 32-year-old actress continued. “And then I remember Kristen being like, ‘This is not a big deal. You can just have your shoes.'”

Reed went on to say that at the time, she and Stewart used to gift each other Converse shoes. One day when they met up, Stewart surprised her with the lace-up sneakers from the baseball scene.

“I was like, ‘Oh man, this is the best thing ever!’ Reed recalled. “And I still have them.”

While reminiscing about filming the often-referenced vampire baseball scene in "Twilight," Reed told us that the cast put plenty of effort into the sequence because they knew that moment was a favorite among fans of Stephenie Meyer's novel.

This included strapping pads to their bodies to cushion their slides, getting attached to wires to move through the air, and taking baseball lessons. 

"We spent a lot of time with baseball coaches and mapping it out like, almost like a choreographed dance," the actress said. "And we took really interesting classes. Like I remember Catherine Hardwicke had all of us take this cat movement class so that we could move our bodies in a way that felt cat-like."

"We definitely learned some new skills."
