Freddy Krueger, from the Nightmare on Elm Street film series, is my favorite boogyman, so to see a pair of Nike sneakers made in his honor just fills me with the obligatory fright.
The blood-spattered kicks are decorated with the pattern on Freddy's ubiquitous red and black horizontal-striped sweater, as well as featuring Nike's classical swoosh in silver. The soles, meanwhile, mimic Krueger's delightfully coarse-grained raw flesh complexion.
These ugly sneakers are a must for every fashion-conscious, horror film enthusiast!
