Get ready to lace up for Halloween with Nike’s latest drop—a sneaker so eerie, it’s practically buzzing with spooky vibes. But here’s where it gets controversial: Nike’s Air Max 95 “Houseflies” isn’t just another Halloween release; it’s a bold, morbidly playful twist on an iconic silhouette that’s sure to divide sneakerheads. Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it.

Colorway: Black/Metallic Dark Grey-Neon Yellow
SKU: IM3082-001
MSRP: $200 USD
Release Date: October 21
Where to Buy: Nike (http://nike.com/)
Nike’s annual Halloween Pack tradition is back, and this year, the brand is doubling down on its eerie theme with the Air Max 95 “Houseflies,” joining the ranks alongside the previously teased Air Force 1 “Houseflies.” This isn’t your typical spooky sneaker—it’s a head-turning, conversation-starting masterpiece that blends macabre details with Nike’s signature style.
The design is a masterclass in contrast. A sleek black leather upper sets the stage, but it’s the neon yellow visible Air units that steal the show, adding a jolt of energy to the dark aesthetic. And this is the part most people miss: scattered across the leather are white 3M housefly graphics, eerily reminiscent of flies hovering around a decaying corpse. Yes, you read that right. But here’s the kicker—these flies glow in the dark, thanks to the 3M reflective material, making this sneaker the ultimate accessory for a Halloween night out. If that’s not enough, cobweb designs creep across the AIR MAX logo on the tongue, while a translucent outsole is adorned with tiny black housefly printings, completing the haunted house vibe.
What makes this release truly stand out is its unapologetic originality. Nike could have played it safe with pumpkins or ghosts, but instead, they leaned into something darker, more unconventional. Is it too much, or is it genius? That’s up to you to decide. One thing’s for sure: the Nike Air Max 95 “Houseflies” is a Halloween sneaker that refuses to be ignored. Whether you’re a collector, a Halloween enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates bold design, this pair is bound to spark conversation. So, what do you think? Are these sneakers a spooky slam dunk, or did Nike take the Halloween theme too far? Let us know in the comments!
