The shoes are set to be released on October 24, 2024, on the official SNKRS site and select retailers.

The new Nike Air Force 1 release 'brings something spooky' to the sneaker game this season. It comes in a staggering Crimson and Black color combination. The upper of the shoe comes constructed out of cracker leather material. The cracks of the shoes give red accents to give a bloody-themed look. The official Nike site introduces the shoe as,

"Bring something spooky to your sneaker game this season. The classic '80s hoops icon gets a spine-chilling overhaul with a crackled leather finish and etched skull on the toe box, leaving this AF1 looking like it was unearthed straight from the crypt."

The highlight of the shoe includes a raised skull etched upon the toe box of the sneaker to add in spooky vibes to the sneaker in black. The sleek black color is continued upon the swooshes on the lateral side. The look of the shoe is finished off with the black rubber outsole.

The insoles of the shoes continue with the spooky aesthetic with the crimson red and black prints. The evolution of the Air Force 1 sneakers over four decades, has been stated by the website as:

Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond.”

Further stated:

"Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 has become an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music, and sneaker culture can’t be denied.”

The upcoming holiday release includes Nike Dunk Low "Halloween" sneakers

Another variant of the "Halloween" edition is the Dunk Low "Black and Green Curry". These sneakers come with the same crackled leather finish and an etched skull on the toe box. It comes in a slightly vibrant green color combined with black, compared to the much darker and iconically gothic Crimson and Black on Air Force 1 "Halloween."

The Dunk Low "Halloween" sneakers are releasing on SNKRS for $130 on the same day as the Air Force 1 "Halloween" iteration.


The Air Force 1 "Halloween" sneakers are set to be released on the Nike SNKRS website on October 24, 2024, to celebrate the impending Halloween festival, which falls on October 31, 2024.
