While we're still awaiting official retailer images, outlets are expecting the shoe to feature black components throughout the majority of the upper and tongue, likely coming in a short nubuck or waxed suede. Vibrant pops of orange are seen along the midsole “teeth” as well as the OG 23 stitched along the heel.

Further details include the reports that the black upper will feature contrast stitching that glows in the dark to further the Halloween theme. The OG Nike Air on the back heel will be outlined in orange stitching as the shoes are based in green glow translucent outsoles.

We're still awaiting official word from Nike on these, but the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” is expected to land October 24, 2026 for a standard retail tag of $220. Expect a release on Nike SNKRS app and be sure to grab a pair as fans are already calling this one of the best Air Jordan releases for the 2026 calendar year.
