Matt Varga Remember when we said Halloween made last weeks slate supersized? As we look to the start of November, those holiday is instead the cherry on top of an incredibly heavy schedule, replete with model debuts, collabs and long-awaited retros.
To begin with the collaborative efforts, a diverse range of link-ups are on tap, from reliable relationships like JJJJound x ASICS, Grant Taylor x Nike SB, or Awake NY x Jordan, to more unexpected fare like LeBron x FaZe Clan, KoRn x adidas, or Demon Slayer x adidas. The closing pairs in this year’s Halloween footwear lineup land with Donovan Mitchell’s Haribo collection, the Book 1 “Halloween” and a tacit embrace, two “Green Goblin” editions of the Clogposite and Flightposite. Finally, Jordan Brand makes noise twice this week, split between the kids-only Jordan 4 “Pure Platinum” and the return of the Jordan 14 “Black Toe” after a decade on ice.
