Nike is getting its classic Air Force 1 sneaker ready for Halloween but best of all, fans won’t have to wait long to pick up the spooky season-themed style.
Set for a Sept. 20 release is a new Halloween-themed Nike Air Force 1 Low set to release exclusively in kids sizing. While not quite as ornate as some of Nike’s other Halloween offerings including mummy-wrapped and glow-in-the-dark sneakers, the upcoming Air Force 1 Low manages to pack in plenty of bloodcurdling details.

Said to be inspired by wolves, the upcoming release features a black tumbled leather upper and uses the Air Force 1’s quarter panel as a canvas with crudely drawn teeth surrounding the Swoosh in Metallic Silver on both the lateral and medial sides. The lateral section adds a stitched emblem of menacing red eyes, while the tongue’s Nike branding also gets an appropriately stylized treatment. Elsewhere, the sneaker’s fang graphic also appears on the insole.
Other noteworthy Halloween sneakers on the horizon from Nike, Inc. include Ja Morant’s Nike Ja 4, Devin Booker’s Nike Book 2, mummy-themed Foamposites and an Air Jordan 5 Retro with glow-in-the-dark detailing. And for adults, there’s also a “Scream”-inspired Air Force 1 on the way with details inspired by the slasher film franchise.
Unfortunately for sneaker fans with large feet, it doesn’t look like this upcoming Air Force 1 will be available beyond big kids’ sizing. It will be released Sept. 20 for a retail price of $100 from nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. The sneaker’s full colorway is Black/University Red/Metallic Silver/Black and its style code is IQ2241-001. The images pictured here show the sneaker in its preschool size Force 1 variation, which lacks the Air cushioning found in larger sizes.
