Maybe it's nostalgia, but the Clyde Court Disrupt was so exciting when PUMA re-entered the basketball market in 2018. Plus, the "X-Ray" colorway was still a pretty unique concept at that time. PUMA Basketball's evolution over the past eight years has been remarkable, but that's a story for another day.

7. PUMA MB.03 "Halloween P.E."

Ja Morant has rapidly built a strong collection of Halloween-themed sneakers, and there is a case to be made for most of them. We like the Nike Ja 3 "Spooky Season" colorway most because that's the best silhouette in Morant's signature line, and the design details are delightfully frightful.]

4. Nike Kyrie 4 "Halloween"

Kyrie Irving and ANTA are building a global sneaker empire, but we still miss his Nike sneaker line. The Nike Kyrie 4 "Halloween" colorway dripped a ghoulish shade of Rage Green that was pitch-perfect for Halloween night.

LeBron James' 13th signature Nike shoe got way too much disrespect during its production cycle. The Nike LeBron 13 "Horror Flick" or "Friday the 13th" colorway was so incredibly tough with its blood-splattered design.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant never got to wear the Nike Kobe 5 Protro "X-Ray" colorway, but it was incredibly popular among NBA players in 2024. The colorway drew inspiration from his 2011 "Broken Not Beaten" marketing campaign and featured glow-in-the-dark elements for an extra spooky aesthetic.

Kevin Durant narrowly edges out Kobe Bryant for the best Halloween hoop shoe in NBA history with the Nike KD 18 "Slim Reaper" colorway. Mostly because it plays off his nickname. Second, the black-and-white design with glow-in-the-dark elements strikes fear into the hearts of defenders any day of the year.
