Nike is showing up and showing out for Halloween 2025. From costume-ready movie monsters to fall harvest themes and an added sweet tooth, Beaverton is bringing Halloween to the hardcourt with a set of six Halloween colorways from your favorite hoop stars.
The monster mash is trick-or-treat ready with costume-friendly colorways from KD, Ja Morant, Giannis, Victor Wembanyama, Devin Booker, and newly crowned WNBA champion (again), A’ja Wilson.
The KD 18 Slim Reaper takes Durant’s longtime nickname and brings it to life, adding a reflective upper, glow-in-the-dark outsole, and a creepy skeleton hand stretching up the side panels with bony fingers reaching out to grab the lace panels.
Morant’s Ja 3 Zombie continues a Halloween tradition that started with the Ja 1, bringing out neon green with red accents. The upper and sole unit also contains glow-in-the-dark details to really hone in on the Halloween theme. However, the biggest nod to the holiday is found on the insole with a zombie graphic depicting a zombified Ja Morant.
Giannis also gets the monster treatment on the Nike Freak 7 Werewolf, with a grey upper, colorful hits, and a tuft of full-moon fur on the tongue. Included on the sneaker is a custom dog tag with a spooky interpretation of Giannis’ signature logo. Inside sits a flannel insole that clearly references classic werewolf movies, as Giannis’ logo is “ripping” through the shirt to reveal the hairy transformation.
Staying with creepy themes, the Halloween Book 1 features a black patent leather upper covered in scorpion prints with a glow-in-the-dark outsole ready to illuminate the desert danger that creeps underfoot. The upper also has GITD details, with each of the scorpions illuminating blue light.
Moving away from Halloween horror onto the more important aspects of the holiday, pumpkin pie and candy, Nike laced real-life giant Victor Wembanyama with a pumpkin-colored GT Hustle 3 PE in a seasonally-appropriate orange colorway, complete with raised vine graphics.
For the candy fans amongst us, Nike brought out a candy corn gradient for the A’One, a perfect compliment to Wilson’s sweet season. Her love of the holiday, including the costumes, candy, and parties, is translated onto the sneaker with the yellow, orange, and white gradient.
The Nike Basketball Halloween Pack will be released October 21, 2025 (October 22 for A’ja’s pair) through Nike and select retailers in-store and online.
