You might be too cool for costume parties, but rocking some Halloween themed sneakers is a whole different story. Nike's always on top when it comes to releasing sneakers for the spooky season. At The Sole Supplier, we've rounded up some of the hottest kicks Nike is dropping this Halloween. Some are subtle, some are creepy, and some are downright absurd. One thing's for sure; none of them are boring.
Let's start with the absurd. Dunks are always a big part of Halloween releases. While they might not be as legendary as the 'Freddy Krueger' inspired version from 2007, the Nike Dunk Low 'Halloween' has its standout feature: a debossed skull on the toe box. This Dunk Low sports a mix of slime green cracked leather overlays, black leather underlays, and a pretty eerie shade of yellow.
And if you wanted a similar construct but in an Air Force 1 silhouette, we've got good news for you. The Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Halloween' houses an almost identical debossed skull on the toe box, but instead of the green cracked leather details on the Dunks, this pair features an upper that looks like flesh. You also get special Halloween print on the insoles.
Moving from the absurd to the subtle, there's a new Nike Air Force 1 joining the Swoosh's seasonal lineup. This one pays tribute to one of the greatest horror films of all time. The AF-1 Low 'Hockey Mask' takes its cue from the famous mask worn by Jason Vorhees in the Friday the 13th franchise. It's a more lowkey Halloween design in the sneaker world, sporting a simple 'Triple White' look. It might seem like a regular Air Force 1 at first glance, but up close, it makes a spooky impression with Vorhees's iconic mask staring into your soul from the toebox.
While not really a Halloween release, we think it's worth mentioning them as they capture the festive colours, similar to the Nike Dunk Low Halloween GS Orange. If you're looking for something to wear on Halloween that you can also rock at other times (unless wearing sneakers with skulls is your thing all year long), then you should consider getting the Air Max 90 ‘White/Grey/Total Orange,' that totally capture the festive colours.
The Nike Dunk Low GS Black Symbiote is another subtle colourway that's just right for Halloween. While it is not an official Spider Man collab like the Air Jordan 1 High 'Next Chapter,' these Dunks definitely are reminiscent of Peter Parker’s Venom suit. The dark blue leather base features a 3M reflective finish with web overlays on the toe box and quarter panels, mimicking the iconic black suit. The dark grey Swoosh on the sides and Nike branding on the tongue add a nice contrast to the design while keeping things tame.
If you don't want it to be too subtle and if being too absurd isn't your cup of tea either, why not just opt for something creepy? Most of us are scared of spiders, even more so during this time of the year, as they start entering the houses looking for warm, cozy spots and corners (yikes!). The new Nike Vomero 'Halloween' and its 'spider eye' dubraes will give you the jumps. Looking like what you'll get if the 'Supersonic' and 'Black Seqouia' had a baby, these sneakers come alive at night, with glow in the dark materials on the tongue tabs, overlays, and midsoles.
There you have it, the top Nike kicks to grab this Halloween. And from everyone here at The Sole Supplier, have a spooktacular Halloween!
