Few players in the NBA have a more exciting signature sneaker than Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant. Combine Morant's fan-favorite Nike basketball shoes with Halloween and you're sure to wow the footwear world.

Earlier this month, Nike finally unveiled Morant's highly anticipated second sneaker – the Nike Ja 2. The official announcement included images of five upcoming colorways, including a striking design for the spooky season.

The Nike Ja 2 “Nightmare” is set to release this week, perfectly timed with the start of basketball season and just in time for Halloween night. Below is a detailed look and breakdown of the spooky sneakers.

The Nike Ja 2 “Nightmare” will hit retailers on Friday, October 25th at exactly 10:00 AM EST. Online shoppers can purchase the spooky basketball shoes for $130 in adult sizes on Nike's website.

While this is an exciting release that will garner a lot of attention, there should be enough of Morant's “Nightmare” sneakers to satisfy demand. Nike is releasing the kicks on its main website rather than the SNKRS app, which is usually reserved for more limited releases.

The “Nightmare” colorway features a University Red upper contrasted by Celestial Gold Nike Swoosh and Ja logos. The black suede heels feature a design depicting outstretched zombie hands. Finally, “Morant” is written on the tooth-shaped jewels on the lace locks.

When it comes to performance, the Nike Ja 2 doesn't disappoint. It's designed with style, comfort and support to power the high-flying exploits that have made Morant one of the NBA's most exciting players.

The Air Zoom unit with sculpted midfoot area is the perfect addition to give players extra bounce and the ability to move gracefully around the court. Athletes and fans can expect to see countless colorways of the Nike Ja 2 on basketball courts this year.
