Have you ever been afraid of a pair of shoes before? Well, get ready to squeal like the next victim in a slasher flick because Nike has something absolutely terrifying for us all.

Performing a demonic ritual to revive the spine-chilling Air Force 1 Skeleton sneakers just in time for Halloween, they’ve not been seen rising from its tomb since 2018. Are you brave enough to rock these spooky shoes, or will you leave the terror to the Pumpkin King?

Horrifyingly spooky, the Air Force 1 Skeleton’s cult-classic style returns following its first haunting in 2018. Arriving October 29 at 1 am, for USD$130, you can slip your bones into the familiar form of the AF1 platform. Decked out in a brilliant orange/black colorway, I reckon Freddy Kruger’s sweater would be the perfect accessory.

Unlike the first coming of the Air Force 1 Skeleton, the 2020 variant swaps out the ghostly white and upper gray accents for harvest-themed hues of starfish orange and black. Nike continues with familiar skeletal graphics on its upper exterior, the 2020 AF1 Skeleton X-Rays your whole foot, inside and out. No terrifyingly expensive medical bills here.

Clearly fans of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Nike embraces the enchantment of Halloween Town, taking design cues from the iconic jack-o’-lantern. What’s this? There’s glow-in-the-dark material on the midsole and outsole! Lighting up your journey for that extra aura of luminance in every step you take; just be careful when it comes time to escape the clutches of Jason Voorhees, should you take a wrong turn into Camp Crystal Lake.

Sporting the same innovative Nike Air that first appeared in the 1982 classic sneaker, Air Force 1 is redefining Halloween apparel, just like they redefined basketball footwear. While the same shoe is seldom seen on the court, its innovative nature has made it a street icon with a plethora of one-off designs and collaborations to make sneakerheads scream like their being chased by the Oogie Boogie Man.
