7 best Halloween-themed Nike sneakers that have become part of a timeless tradition
1. Nike Dunk Low PRM Halloween, 2021
The classic orange and black Halloween shoe that never goes out of style. The sneakers have a premium black overlay and an orange swoosh. While this may look like a remarkably typical sneaker, Nike added its Halloween component with a glow-in-the-dark colorway. When you put a UV light on the shoe, neon designs can be seen on the overlay and even the soles glow in the dark.
Retailed at $110
2. Nike SB Dunk Low 'Night of Mischief', 2019

3. Nike Air Force 1 Orange 'Skeleton', 2020
Nike Air Force is a sneaker that made its debut in 2018. It has since then been re-released every year in different colors.

4. Nike SB Dunk Low 'Freddy Kruger', 2020
This Halloween shoe is a tribute to the villain of Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy Kruger.
