The Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” Looks Scary Good for Fall

The Air Jordan 5 has never shied away from drama, but this upcoming “Halloween” edition looks ready to fully embrace the holiday’s darker side.

Expected to release on October 24th, 2026, the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” taps into classic October aesthetics without drifting into costume territory. Instead, it plays things straight — blacked-out uppers, eerie accents, and glow-in-the-dark elements that feel more sinister than gimmicky.

The design centers on a deep black upper that gives the silhouette a stealthy, almost midnight feel. Hits of orange flare across the midsole’s signature shark-tooth detailing, instantly calling back to jack-o’-lantern hues without overpowering the shoe. That contrast is echoed elsewhere through subtle branding and trim, keeping the palette tight and intentional.

The return of Nike Air branding on the heels will feature a dual-color finish, along with embroidered “23” branding on the ankle. Beneath it all, glow-in-the-dark outsoles bring the theme home, lighting up under low visibility and adding just enough spectacle for the season.

It’s worth noting that these images are mock-ups, and final production details may shift before launch. That said, early indications suggest the retail pair will stay close to this formula — and if it does, the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” could land as a standout October release rather than a novelty sidestep.

With its October 24th release date lining up perfectly with Halloween weekend, this pair feels purpose-built for the calendar — not forced onto it.
