The Freddy Krueger shoes by custom sneaker expert Dominic Ciambrone -- or better known by his handle 'The Shoe Surgeon,' take on the silhouette of the Nike Air Jordan 1s. If you are a fan of retro horror cinema, as well as a sneakerhead, this footwear release is sure to be worthy of your attention.
The Freddy Krueger shoes are scheduled to be released on October 31st, just in time for Holloween. Without a doubt, the design of the footwear is alluring to the public, especially during the spooky holiday as many seek out their costumes. The upper of the custom Nike Air Jordan 1s boasts a knit textile base that is stripped, referencing the shirt of the dream-haunting fiend. In addition, the Freddy Krueger shoes also feature "hand-painted blood splatter nubuck overlays," for a more authentic personification.
