Composed of legendary sneaker drops, I present to you *drum roll* Droptober! Droptober caters to some of my all-time favorite Halloween-inspired sneakers.
Lol...Whoever made this shoe needs a Nobel Peace Prize or even a promotion at the NIKE HQ! Why? Halloween sneakers are truly a hit or miss and this designer did not miss with the Nike SB Dunk Low “Freddy Kruger”! The shoe is widely known as one of the greatest Nike SB Dunks of all time, but sadly it was never publicly released due to copyright issues.
From red and green stripes representing the killer’s sweater to the metallic silver Swoosh symbolizing the killer’s razor glove, this shoe truly embodies the dream-haunting serial killer from the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series.
