(Update) October 19, 2023: Día de Muertos is on the horizon and Nike is celebrating the hallowed holiday with a four pack sneaker collection.

Titled "Con Mi Familia" (With My Family), the mini-line pays tribute to the family-oriented festivities, pointing to the time in which the veil between living relatives and their ancestors is at its thinnest. The launch includes the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2, Dunk Low, Air Max 1 and Blazer Mid. The release begins on October 18 for Nike Members in Mexico with a global release arriving soon after on October 21 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.

Take a look in the gallery above.

Just in time for spooky season, Nike has just pulled back the fall on four Día de Muertos-Themed sneakers.

Celebrating the holiday in style, the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2, Dunk Low, Air Max 1 and Blazer Mid receive a special treatment to pay homage to the festive holiday. Black and gold paint the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 in an illustrated floral pattern. The lateral heel and sockliner welcome a skull motif, resulting in an elegant yet eerie sneaker. The Dunk Low takes a more repitlian approach with a snake print detailing the toe boxes and lateral overlays. Meanwhile, a bright gold hue takes over the rest of the shoe with pops of vibrant pink appearing on the tongue tag, interior lining, heel in the form of a marigold flower.

Following closely behind, the Air Max 1 steals the show with its monochromatic vivid pink color palette with the Swoosh appearing in a playful doodle-like stitching with abstract floral embroidering on the toe box and throughout the shoe. Completing the collection is a Blazer Mid in a slightly somber aesthetic with a cream white base and an airbrushed light baby blue on the sides. A golden crescent moon touches the heel with a glittering black and gold Swoosh rounding out the design.

Nike has shared release details for the Nike Dunk Low and Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2, which are scheduled to arrive on October 21 via the SNKRS app at prices of $125 USD and $165 USD respectively. The Air Max 1 and Blazer Mid should make their debut later this month, so stay tuned.
