Michael Le With October nearly here, Nike is slowly beginning to further expand their Halloween fare, a set whose previously revealed standouts include spider web adorned classics and even a loud nod to Freddy Krueger. Their latest decoration, which makes use of the Air Max 97 silhouette, encroaches on past-used motifs for a take that’s relatively reserved in its choice of costume.

Then, squeezed in between both of the aforementioned, a leather strip of slime green details the surroundings of the shoe, its paneling partly warped downwards as if dripping onto the rest of the construction. Elsewhere, the branding imparts a louder visage as the embroidered swooshes dye a loud Jack-o-lantern reminiscent orange while the sole fashions bold by way of a glow-in-the-dark finish.
Grab a close-up look at these here and expect a release to hit Nike.com in the coming months.
