With Halloween just around the corner and Nike themselves not yet ready to tap into some of their celebratory legends out of the vault, it’s up to customizers to take matters into their own hands with one of the best — The Shoe Surgeon — doing just that as he perfectly translates the iconic “Freddy” Dunk Low onto the Air Jordan 1. Unlike his previous works, the creative showcased some surprising restraint, doing little to the upper in the way of reptilian modifications or extremely luxurious upgrades. Uppers pay homage in what is a shot-for-shot remake: panels along the upper are doused in the distressed brown tone, splattered by various hits of blood across the heel wrap, vamp, and toe; adjacent, the underlying base bears a texture and striped pattern uncannily resemblant of the series villain. Metallic swooshes, solid-colored tongues, off-white midsoles, and almost everything else arrive right in time for this year’s celebrations. Take a detailed look at resemblant pair just right below and expect them to go live at theshoesurgeon.com on October 31st.
