Nike Halloween Sneakers Always Put the OOH! in Spooky!

The best Nike Halloween sneakers are six pairs that Nike released between 2006 and 2021, from the Day of the Dead SB Dunk Low to the Mummy. According to the sources linked below, the four SB Dunks were listed at retail prices between $65 and $110, and the Coraline Dunk High never went on sale. We checked each date and price against a published page.

• Oldest pair: the Day of the Dead SB Dunk Low, November 2006, listed at $65 retail according to Sneaker Files.
• Newest of the six: the Mummy SB Dunk Low, October 2021, listed at $110 retail according to Sneaker Bar Detroit.
• Never sold in shops: the Coraline Dunk High, dated 2008 or 2009 depending on the source, was only obtainable with a code from the film’s credits.
• Resale listings: on 6 October 2026, Stadium Goods listed three of the six pairs at between $359 and $475.

What are the best Nike Halloween sneakers?

The best Nike Halloween sneakers are the pairs that carry the holiday on the shoe itself, with skeletons, spiders, bandages or a slasher’s mask, and that have a dated release behind them. We picked six from the SB Dunk line, the Air Force 1 and one promotional Dunk High, and we left out pairs that only share a colour with October.

Where two published sources disagree, such as the retail price of the Air Force 1 Skeleton or the release year of the Coraline pair, the table shows both rather than picking one. Where a figure could not be confirmed, the cell says so.

The sections after the table take the pairs in release order, add the 2024 releases and the Coraline story, and end with what the pairs were listed for on 6 October 2026.

The Day of the Dead SB Dunk Low, 2006

The Day of the Dead SB Dunk Low is a 2006 skateboarding Dunk themed on the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, which exists to remember people who have died. According to Sneaker Files, Nike released it in November 2006 through Nike SB accounts in Mexico and Canada only, at a retail price of $65.

Sotheby’s, which lists a sample pair, credits the designs to Christian Salinas Medina and says the festive motifs depict the Aztec god of the underworld exhaling souls into the living world. The upper is orange blaze with vivid purple piping, decorated overlays and a black Swoosh with a python-like texture.

Sotheby’s calls it the second Nike style inspired by Mexican heritage and tags the listing Halloween, which is why it sits on this list even though the holiday is a different one. We think the 2000s were the golden era of SB Dunk releases, and this pair is a good argument for that.

The Jason Voorhees SB Dunk High, 2007

The Jason Voorhees SB Dunk High is a 2007 high top built around the hockey-masked killer from the Friday the 13th films. Hypebeast, writing on 23 October 2007, called it a late drop in October’s round of Nike SB releases and part of a Halloween Pack.

According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, it was released on 27 October 2007 at $75 in a Black/Deep Red colourway. The perforated leather toe box and suede overlays are deep red, the quarter panels and collars are black, and a white heel overlay and midsole nod to the hockey mask, finished off with bloody laces.

Jason Voorhees is a film character rather than a holiday motif, so this pair and the Coraline Dunk High further down are the two here that borrow from the movies.

What is the Air Force 1 Skeleton?

The Air Force 1 Skeleton is a Halloween edition of the Air Force 1 Low that Nike first released on 31 October 2018. According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, the triple white pair has a leather upper covered in a skeleton bone print, skeleton-themed tongue labels and a milky translucent glow-in-the-dark rubber outsole. That page gave its retail price as $100, while Highsnobiety listed $130 for the same release.

Nike followed it with a black pair in 2019 and an orange pair. House of Heat listed the black pair for 25 October 2019 at $130, and Nike’s own page for the orange pair opens like this:

Nearly two years after its spine-chilling 2018 debut, the Air Force 1 Skeleton is rising from the tombs just in time for Halloween.

That makes three Skeleton colourways in about three years, which is as close to a yearly tradition as the sources let us say. Our Air Force 1 Scream post covers another film-themed Air Force 1.

The Night of Mischief and Mummy SB Dunk Lows, 2019 and 2021

The Night of Mischief and the Mummy are two Halloween SB Dunk Lows released two years apart. According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, the Night of Mischief was released on 31 October 2019 at $90 in Black/Total Orange/Court Purple/Volt.

Stadium Goods describes a black nubuck upper, orange jack-o-lantern perforations on the toe box, a purple spider web on the mid-panel, lime green Trick and Treat lettering on the heels, and a bright green outsole.

Sneaker Bar Detroit called the Mummy a follow-up to that pair and listed it for 25 October 2021 at select skate shops, at $110. Its tear-away upper mimics bandages and reveals turquoise beneath, with Eye of Horus graphics on the inner tongues and glow-in-the-dark soles. Stadium Goods adds eye embroidery on the heel.

What did Nike release for Halloween in 2024?

Nike released two skull-themed pairs for Halloween 2024, an Air Force 1 Low and a Dunk Low, and its pages for both use almost the same words: a crackled leather finish and an etched skull on the toe box. Nike’s Air Force 1 Halloween page lists $140 and its Dunk Low Halloween page lists $130.

According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, the Air Force 1 came in black and crimson with a cracked leather upper that reveals red accents, and the Dunk Low in Bright Cactus, black and green curry with gum soles. The site gave 24 October 2024 as the release date for both.

Our where-to-buy post for the Dunk Low Halloween Green Curry covers that pair, and our guide to Nike Halloween sneakers covers more of them.

Did the Dunk High Coraline ever get a retail release?

No, the Dunk High Coraline never went on sale in shops. Sneaker Bar Detroit says the only way to get a pair was a secret code in the credits of the film Coraline, entered on its promotional website, and Sneaker Files labels the release type Friends and Family, Contest.

The film was Laika’s first full-length animated feature, released in February 2009, and Wikipedia says Laika is owned by Nike co-founder Phil Knight. The shoe has a two-tone grey canvas upper with hand-sewn visible seams, black stitching, black buttons on the tongue and eyelets, and a glow-in-the-dark outsole, according to Sneaker Bar Detroit.

The sources disagree on the numbers. Sneaker Bar Detroit and Sotheby’s say the run was limited to 100 pairs, Sneaker Files says 2,000, and Sotheby’s dates its pair 2008 against Sneaker Bar Detroit’s 2009. We therefore give no pair count and no firm release year.

What are these pairs listed for on the resale market?

A resale listing is the price a seller asks on a given day, so each figure below is tied to a seller and a date and is not a sale or a valuation. On 6 October 2026, Stadium Goods listed the Air Force 1 Skeleton at $475, the Night of Mischief at $474 and the Mummy at $359, and its pages note that the price may vary for different sizes.

On the same date Sotheby’s listed a Coraline pair in size 12 at price upon request, which means it publishes no figure. We could not confirm a current resale price for the Day of the Dead SB Dunk Low or the Jason Voorhees SB Dunk High, because the listing pages we found for them did not show a price we could tie to a size, so the table leaves both pairs out.

Market prices move and are shown for reference, not as a promise. Before any purchase, our guide to spotting fake Dunks covers what to check.
