About The Air Force 1 “Skeleton” Release

Nike is looking to follow up last year’s success of the white Air Force 1 “Skeleton” with the success of the black version in 2019. Arriving just in time for Halloween, we think is the perfect shoe to rock while trick-or-treating or partyin’ it up in your costumes.

our take on The Shoe

Just about every design element from last year’s shoe is carried over to this year’s iteration, however, the black seems to have the upper-hand when it comes to “pop”.

The white anatomical x-ray graphic of the human foot contrasts nicely over the all-black upper of the Air Force 1 and the glow-in-the-dark outsole is what really takes this shoe’s “spooky” to another level.

our release Predictions

Since this is a holiday-themed shoe, we expect these shoes to fly off shelves again this year. If you’re looking to cop, you must do your due diligence to secure your pair.

While many majors retailers (listed below) will be offering these online, we’re not sure of how many of them will receive them in-store. Go ahead and call your local shoe store to see if they’re going to receive pairs.

Nike SNKRS | iOS & Android

The release page for the black AF1 “Skeletons has appeared on the SNKRS app and the shoes will be available for purchase at the standard time of 10am (EST) on October 25, 2019.

Because this is a halloween-themed shoe, we suggest not to sleep on this release if you’re trying to cop a personal pair.

Don’t have the app? You can download it ahead of time to help streamline the buying process on release day. Links to both the Android and iOS apps are below.

How To Cop Online

The product page is already up for both the men’s pairs of the Air Force 1 “Skeletons”. Like almost all other sites, the shoes will be live at 10am (EST) on October 26.

As with almost all online releases of in-demand sneakers, you’ll have to battle the bots and cross your fingers that you’re able to secure your pair.

Foot Locker, Footaction, Champs

As we’ve stated before, Foot Locker also owns Footaction, Eastbay, and Champs, so everything in this section of the guide will apply to these retailers as well.

How To Cop Online

The shoes will go live online at 10am (EST) across all the sites, however, there may be a queue that starts minutes before the release. If so, we suggest that you hop on the sites at least 10 minutes before the release to get a good place in line.

Since this is a shoe we see selling out, you may have issues adding the shoes in your cart. If you keep getting errors, just keep spamming the “add to cart” button by pressing it until something happens.

Sometimes it may take up to 30 minutes for these site to work properly, so stay patient.

How To Cop In-Store

Foot Locker, Footaction, & Champs all have the sneakers loaded onto their website

The Best Ways To Cop The AF1 “Skeleton” (International)

Since we’ve got readers from all over the globe, it’s only right that I drop some links to non-us retailers that’ll also be releasing the shoes. As far as pricing, we’re not sure how the retail converts to other currencies so a little extra research on your part may provide you with the correct figure.

Below are what we’ve come across so far, so hopefully this helps.
