LeBron James, Caitlin Clark, and eight other Nike Basketball athletes have Halloween shoes coming in 2026. The designs have some pretty different stories behind them, from old horror movies to things the players remember from growing up. Nike also made a wearable mask to go with each shoe.
LeBron James’ Nike LeBron 24 “Storm Drain” goes back to 2017, when he dressed as Pennywise from IT for Halloween. A pattern on the KingKnit upper references a social media post from that year. Caitlin Clark’s Nike Caitlin 1 “Jinx” has a story behind it, too. Jinx was a neighbor’s cat that frightened her when she was growing up. Cade Cunningham gets a Nike S.T. Charge inspired by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a reference to his home state.
Victor Wembanyama sticks with his Alien nickname on the Nike Zoom G.T. Cut 4, which uses an abstract version of his logo across the upper. The Nike Giannis Freak 8 “Trick Question” takes after The Riddler, while Devin Booker’s Nike Book 2 “Scary Chapter” is based on one of his favorite horror movies from childhood.
A’ja Wilson’s Nike A’Two “Potion No. 22” mixes several horror characters into one design, including Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Candyman. Sabrina Ionescu goes with a vampire theme for the Nike Sabrina 4 “Count Ionescu,” featuring bats, fangs, and a blood-covered Swoosh.
The Nike Ja 4 “Zombie” has a distressed upper made to look like torn clothing, along with glow-in-the-dark outsoles. Kevin Durant brings back the skeleton theme from last Halloween on the Nike KD 19 “Slim Reaper,” with skeletal hand graphics spread across the upper.
The Nike Basketball Halloween 2026 Collection begins releasing October 23, 2026, with the other shoes following on separate dates through Nike and select retailers.
