Nike Basketball has put its athletes in Halloween costume again. Ten pairs make up the 2026 set, each built around a horror reference the player picked, and the first of them release on Friday, October 23 at Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers.
The four pairs dated for October 23
Foot Locker’s release calendar lists these for Friday, October 23 at 10:00 ET, men’s sizes, one per person:
- Ja 4 “Zombie” ($140): Oil Green/Multi/Zombie. A distressed, torn-looking knit in green and grey, a glossy red Swoosh and red arrow pieces, on a marbled green sole. Foot Locker product 7939300.
- Giannis Freak 8 “Trick Question” ($130): Green/Gold, a Riddler nod: an all-over print on the green upper, purple laces and a gold Swoosh. Foot Locker product 7945300.
- S.T. Charge Halloween ($145): Cade Cunningham’s shoe in Taupe/Metallic Silver/Light British Tan, a brown, textured take that Nike’s set ties to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a nod to his home state of Texas. Foot Locker product Z2607200.
- Sabrina 4 Halloween ($145): Black/Grey/Red, Sabrina Ionescu’s vampire pair, reported as “Count Ionescu”, with a red Swoosh and red speckling. Foot Locker product IX410580.
Foot Locker’s pages give the date and price but not Nike’s full style codes, and Nike hasn’t put these on SNKRS yet, so we’re treating the details as retailer-listed rather than confirmed by Nike. One more thing to check before you buy: Complex reports the Sabrina 4 at $140, while Foot Locker lists $145.
The Ja 4 High “Zombie” on October 31
The low Ja 4 above is not the only zombie pair. Sole Retriever and Sneaker Bar Detroit report a zip-up Ja 4 High “Zombie”, style code IQ3864-600, for Saturday, October 31 at $180: a full University Red build down to the outsole, Medium Olive accents and a zombie Morant graphic inside. It’s the first high-top version of the Ja 4. No Nike or retailer listing has it yet, so treat the date and price as reported.
The rest of the set
Also in the collection, with no dates on a retailer calendar yet: the Caitlin 1 “Jinx”, Book 2 “Scary Chapter”, A’Two “Potion No. 22”, KD 19 “Slim Reaper”, LeBron 24 “Storm Drain” and a Wembanyama G.T. Cut 4 “Halloween”. Complex reports prices from $150 for the Caitlin 1 up to $210 for the G.T. Cut 4. We’ll add dates as listings go up.
The other Halloween pairs
This sits alongside Nike’s other seasonal drops: the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” on October 17 and the Air Force 1 ’01 “Nightmare”, which shares the October 23 date. The regular LeBron 24 is covered in our LeBron 24 launch post. More on our Nike page.
None of the October 23 four is a hard pair on paper, but Foot Locker caps each at one per person: if you want two different ones, they’re separate checkouts at 10:00 ET.
