The final week of October is shaping up to be a monster month for sneakerheads. Halloween drops, crocodile textures, Swarovski sparkle, and high-fashion collaborations collide across Nike, adidas, New Balance, and PUMA. From Wales Bonner’s latest Superstar to Jerry Lorenzo’s sculptural Fear of God design, every brand is flexing.

Whether you’re a collector, a casual buyer, or just hunting for the next resale gem—these are the sneakers that matter this month.

Halloween at Nike always delivers, but the Air Max 95 ‘Houseflies’ might be the boldest yet. The layered panels and sinister black tones nod to the original 1995 model while adding subtle glow-in-the-dark details and creepy undertones. Think of it as wearable horror—comfortably cushioned.

Release Date: Fri 24 Oct 2025 | Price: £190 | Colour: Green | Style Code: DN3707-202 | Available at: Nike.com and END.

Camo meets legacy. The Jordan 3 ‘Realtree’ brings a rugged outdoor edge to one of basketball’s most iconic silhouettes. The neutral green overlays, elephant print detailing, and subtle orange accents blend heritage with a utilitarian twist that feels fresh for AW25.

Release Date: Fri 24 Oct 2025 |  Price: £120 | Colour: Black | Style Code: U1906LCR | Available at: NewBalance.com and END.

New Balance steps into the luxury lane. The 1906L Loafer Croc combines performance cushioning with crocodile-textured uppers and loafer-inspired stitching. It’s refined, daring, and unapologetically different—a perfect example of the brand’s growing crossover into lifestyle design.

Release Date: Fri 24 Oct 2025 | Price: £500 | Colour: Black | Style Code: 5746773 | Available at: Puma.com

Motorsport meets glamour. The classic Speedcat gets an opulent rework from Swarovski, studded with crystals that sparkle under light. This isn’t your average driving shoe—it’s a statement piece that merges performance heritage with red-carpet shimmer.

Release Date: Sun 26 Oct 2025 | Price: £100 | Colour: Beige | Style Code: JR2206 | Available at: adidas.com

Slam Jam transforms a football classic into a streetwear essential. The muted grey F50 Sala feels premium yet understated—exactly what you’d expect from Italy’s minimalist masters. A perfect crossover between pitch performance and urban design.

Release Date: Sun 26 Oct 2025 | Price: £100 | Colour: Green | Style Code: JR2201 | Available at: adidas.com

The second colourway from the Slam Jam collab brings energy and attitude. The croc-effect green upper sits atop a gum sole, giving the silhouette vintage terrace energy. It’s part football nostalgia, part Milanese precision—and it works.

Release Date: Wed 29 Oct 2025 | Price: £145 | Colour: Blue | Style Code: IH2309-500 | Available at: Nike.com and END.

The “Voodoo” series returns with a haunting twist. Each panel tells its own story, from asymmetrical materials to hand-stitched details that evoke the energy of old-school craftsmanship. Expect this one to vanish fast—it’s a cult favourite in the making.

Release Date: Fri 31 Oct 2025 | Price: £110 | Colour: Multi | Style Code: IM8073-030 | Available at: Nike.com and END.

Retro meets absurd—and we’re here for it. Nike’s LD-1000 resurfaces in a bold cow-print finish that mixes Y2K flair with vintage trackwear roots. It’s playful, nostalgic, and the kind of sneaker that demands a double take.

Release Date: Fri 31 Oct 2025 | Price: £165 | Colour: White | Style Code: JR5207 | Available at: adidas.com

Jerry Lorenzo’s latest creation for adidas strips away the noise. The II.5 silhouette is clean, sculptural, and deeply considered—bridging athletics and luxury minimalism in one fluid motion. Expect premium materials and comfort that rivals any lifestyle trainer.

Release Date: Fri 31 Oct 2025 | Price: £240 | Colour: White | Style Code: KH8797 | Available at: adidas.com

Wales Bonner closes the month on a high note. The latest Superstar blends sport heritage with cultural sophistication—white leather, fox-brown contrast detailing, and the designer’s signature woven touches. It’s not just a sneaker; it’s wearable storytelling.
