Colour and design

The 'Halloween' keeps the Air Jordan 5 silhouette and works it in black. The upper is black, with black mesh on the side panels and black laces held by the clear lace lock. A pale Jumpman sits on the tongue and pale 'Nike Air' lettering marks the heel.

Orange-red appears on the midsole's shark-tooth detailing, set against the black above it. Inside the tongue, 'Air Jordan' text is printed in red, and a 23 sits on the side of the shoe.

The glow-in-the-dark outsole

The release was set for 17 October 2026 under style code HQ7978-001. The pair keeps the shark-tooth midsole shape of the Air Jordan 5 and changes the colours around it.

The outsole is a key detail. It is a translucent, icy unit, and it is described as glow-in-the-dark. A red Jumpman is set into the outsole.

Photos of the pair also show light detailing on the tongue and heel. Check the listing photos for the pale Jumpman and 'Nike Air' heel lettering.

Details to look for

Start at the midsole, where the shark-tooth pattern is picked out in orange-red. Move to the side panels, which are black mesh, then to the clear lace lock sitting over the black laces. Open the tongue to see the red 'Air Jordan' text, and check the side for the 23.

On the underside, the translucent outsole carries the red Jumpman. Together these give the pair a clear order: black on top, orange-red at the midsole, translucent underneath. For wider context on the model, read the Air Jordan 5 colourways guide.

On the foot, black laces and a black upper suit dark denim, black joggers or grey sweats. Try pale socks to echo the Jumpman on the tongue and the 'Nike Air' lettering on the heel, and let the midsole supply the only warm colour in the outfit.

Fit and sizing

Use the Air Jordan size guide to choose a size, and compare against a pair you already wear.

Release coverage notes full family sizing for the colourway. On the listing, each size is shown in US men's with the US women's equivalent beside it, so check the column you normally buy in before you choose.

Check the listing photos before you choose a size, since they show the tongue, the heel, the side 23 and the outsole from several angles.
