Need a sneaker that will haunt the dreams of your on-court opponents? You’ve come to the right place. Nike Basketball and Ja Morant will get you in the game this Halloween season with a blood-red colorway featuring frightful features. 

There’s still plenty of time to make a plan and make your on-court skills knife-sharp, with a little help from the Nike Ja 2 “Nightmare” shoe, which launches at Hibbett on October 25. Available in toddler, preK, grade school, men’s and women’s sizes, these unisex sneakers are imaginative, bold and more than a little terrifying.

Dial the temperature up on the other team by lacing up a pair of the “Nightmare” shoes, with their spine-tingling University Red upper that blends leather quarter panels with soft textile overlays and breathable mesh. The most pronounced feature, aside from the colorway itself, is the Krueger-style marks clawing along the sides of the shoe. A scratched-up Celestial Gold Swoosh adds an extra air of nefariousness to the package. Perhaps even more chilling is the werewolf-esque heel with its high-nap black felt and zombie hands clawing up from the midsole. A yellow eye peers out from the ankle. The shoe also features a silver dubrae that imitates jagged teeth. 

A black and red foam midsole encircles the bottom of the upper along with a sidewall guardrail, while a grippy red rubber geometric outsole adds sticky traction to any situation. These features provide both stability, dynamic energy return and comfort, whether you’re being pursued on court or running down Elm Street. Finally Ja’s ethos, logos, signature and team number also feature heavily throughout the sneaker. 

Whether they’re dressing up for Halloween, suiting up for a Jason vs. Freddy battle or fighting it out on the hardwood, be sure to get a pair of the Nike Ja 2 “Nightmare” sneakers for a memorable spooky season. We’ll have them at Hibbett on October 25 in toddler, preK, grade school, men’s and women’s sizes.
