We said it before, and we’ll say it again: Nike Basketball is entering another golden era. The perfect alignment of strong(er) design, bold(er) marketing, and high(er) energy has brought some of that familiar hype around the hoops game, and Nike’s preview of upcoming Fall/Holiday kicks on SNKRS Live was that firm elbow to the sides to get our attention once again. The Nike KD 18 “Halloween” hits SNKRS and partnering retailers on October 21st, retailing for $170.

Among the standouts of that preview is Kevin Durant’s upcoming 2025 Halloween-themed sneaker, the KD 18 “Slim Reaper.” Featuring an all-black upper and a soft green translucent gum bottom, this forthcoming holiday take features a creepy hand of a skeleton with each appendage aligned with the four eyelets of the Terra Humara-inspired upper. The same hands repeat on the medial side, giving the appearance of the hands of death emerging from the grave.

Official images, appearing as the shoe’s launch draws closer, also reveal a ghastly visage on the interior tongues, cementing the narrative and connecting well to the full commitment seen in the rest of the Nike Basketball Halloween 2025 slate. The best part? The bones and the bottoms are completely glow-in-the-dark, befitting a recurring trend around the end-of-October holiday. We foresee some possible lace-swaps to festive hues like green, orange, or purple, but they look strong with the black-on-black, too.

In the time since it was first revealed, Durant himself has added his co-sign to this ghoulish edition, reaching for his own pair as he took to his first media day as a member of the Houston Rockets. On a similar note, he espoused his love for its creative design in appearances that came shortly after, telling Kay Adams, “I’m going to give all the credit to Nike for bringing that idea to me. It looks incredible, though, man. Like they glow in the dark, too. Like they’re fire. I can’t wait till they come out.”

Again, this “Slim Reaper” colorway is due out via SNKRS on October 21st, retailing for $170.
